Don't just announce your goals to the room! That's the quickest way to kill your goal. They need to have a plan of action first. If you get off, don't give up. Perfectionism is also a killer of goals. Just readjust your plan of action. #YMH5   Reach out to Phil Larson: phil@thestoryshop.tv @Phil_Larson thestoryshop.tv/ymh5 YMH5 on Facebook Art by: http://bit.ly/ymh5art
