Summary
Separation season is upon us and it's time now to set yourself up to make your What's Next in life your best yet. On this episode, Eric discusses the importance of setting goals, the different types of goals and why people fail. Here are a few quotes to demonstrate that:
"If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals." –Lou Holtz
"The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score." –Bill Copeland
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." –C.S. Lewis
"Never quit. It is the easiest cop-out in the world. Set a goal and don’t quit until you attain it. When you do attain it, set another goal, and don’t quit until you reach it. Never quit." –Bear Bryant
"The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score." –Bill Copeland
