Create Systems to Achieve Your Outcome Goals with Process Goals

Develop achievable habits and process goals by using the process goal worksheet

Often, our outcome goals are not fully within our control, like whether we get a book published or whether our product is picked up by a retailer. They are also often long-term goals that will require many steps to reach. Process goals are actions we can take that help us fulfill the aspects of our goal that are within our control, not a gatekeeper’s, and build towards long-term goals.

Build New Habits and Follow Through on Goals
