Welcome to the real estate investing show. I'm Clayton Morris. So glad to have you here on this stream today and a few months ago you know we talked about we talked about ways to set realistic goals for real estate investing you know but that it doesn't always

make sense and help you along with the progress in that in that entire apparatus if you don't

actually execute on those goals you know anyone can set a goal but actually making

it happen is quite another thing. Think about how many people make

New Year's resolutions and then totally forget about it by the spring or the summer.

Because it doesn't work. So setting a goal is really easy. You know what I do this because my birthday is New Year's Eve and so that's a real reset moment for me for the for the new year. Okay, what did I accomplish this year? What I want to do for the rest of the year.

And so I put pen to paper and I'll write down the goals and the big goals that I want to

accomplish for that first quarter of a year, you know, up and through March, and then for the second

quarter of the year, and then the third and the fourth quarter.

And I want to have daily sort of meaningful small goals that will help me reach those larger

goals. But setting goals is easy. But staying

on track is absolutely the most difficult part of this process. You have to take action, stay motivated, and committed to it.

And the most important thing is that you have to make it part of your daily routine.

So today I want to talk about three realistic strategies that you can use to ensure that your long-term goals become a reality.

So let's dive into this.

And first, before I get into these specific strategies on long-term goal setting, I want to recommend

a book.

It's a fantastic book by James Clear.

It's called Atomic Habits.

It's probably the best habit-forming book I've ever read.

And if you just read the reviews,

you'll see that they are like five-star reviews across the board
