The Power of Process Goals vs. Outcome Goals

By Action Coach Dave Beam

How do you feel about goal setting?  Is it an enjoyable experience, or an activity you avoid?  Most of us have heard about the “power” of having clear goals, yet how many of us actually set clear goals and use them?  If you are like me, the reason you may avoid the whole goal setting scene is because goals can actually lead to discouragement and even despair.  Being reminded of unfulfilled outcomes can produce questions like “Am I just kidding myself?” and “Will I really ever get there?”
