Your current actions are perfectly designed to produce your current results. If you are frustrated by your lack of progress on your goals, try these 3 simple steps:

1. Start with First Principles Thinking: What ultimately are your trying to accomplish? Question your assumptions and get to your most basic desire. Don't assume you have the right goals to get there.
2. Make Your Goal S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant to You, and Time-Bound) and upgrade it every 90 days.
