Most of us, and probably all of your clients, don't have any trouble jumping on board with a new plan. Where we usually go wrong is when the enthusiasm wears thin and we discover there was no goal behind the big jump. Here's Dan to explain how to build a goal you or your clients can see through to the end.

"To me, this is how goal setting works. You’ll notice there’s a story behind my goals, and that’s really an important part of the goal-setting process. When you talk with someone who says he wants to do x, y or z, for me the story is so important—the history, the background. You’re dealing with a person who showed up with a goal, and it helps to see where it’s coming from." ~Dan John
