Habits and Goals I help you set ambitious annual goals and build the daily systems that actually achieve them. What I Do Most goals fail not because they're wrong, but because there's no system to execute them. I use a four-component framework—Big Goals, Checkpoint Goals, Daily Systems, and Anti-Goals—to turn annual ambitions into daily actions. The ABC System keeps you consistent even on hard days.
