Hey what's up party people it's Marie Forlejo and welcome to another episode of Marie TV and the Marie Forleo podcast.

So to combat those odds, here are three simple and science-backed strategies

to help you achieve your goals more consistently.

So this first one is pretty simple, but I got to say, hardly anybody does it.

So strategy number one is this.

write them down. Look, I know y'all, I know this sounds basic, but people still don't

have their top goals written down, and I gotta tell you, they certainly don't look at them every day.
