BEGIN WITH THE
END IN MIND
DO YOU EVER PLAN WHERE YOU WANT TO BE AT
THE END OF A GOAL IN YOUR LIFE? DO YOU
CREATE A PATHWAY TO GET THERE?
Definition
Have a specific purpose and
end goal in mind that you will
guide your actions.
Why is this an important habit:
Without a specific end goal in
mind a person will be lost in life
since they don’t know where they
want to be, and thus won’t even
be able to start the steps to get
there.
