Focus on the inputs

Bad goal: “Be a good dad”
Good goal: “Behave like a great dad, every day”

One is your inputs, the other is decided by your kids.

Bad goal: “Build a business”
Good goal: “Work on your business, every day”

One is your inputs, the other is decided by the market.

Bad goal: “Get fit”
Good goal: “Get on the exercise bike for 30 minutes, every day”

One is your inputs, the other is decided by your biology.

Focus on the inputs.
