Goals are for losers. Systems are for winners. Scott Adams
I’ve got food and exercise figured out. I don’t measure anything when it comes to food and health. I don’t count calories, I don’t count steps, I don’t measure body fat, and the only time I get on a scale is at the doctor’s office. Why? Because these measurements don’t give me accurate feedback on whether I am healthy. My systems do.
I was listening to a podcast recently, and Sharran Srivatsaa was describing systems for achieving your goals. He used weight loss as an example: He said, you can set a goal to lose 20 lbs, but you shouldn’t focus on the goal, you should focus on the steps you are going to take to achieve that goal. What are you going to eat? How much sleep are you going to get? How often, how intense, and how long are you going to work out? If you follow your system, you will reach your goal automatically.
Diet, exercise, and financial literacy are lifelong pursuits. I’m always gunning to learn and implement new knowledge to the food and exercise systems I already have in place, but how to set up a marketing system kept eluding me. Until now. After listening to Srivatsaa, I sat down and wrote out my marketing plan. I wrote what I will be doing quarterly, monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, and daily.
If you’d like to read more about creating systems, you might enjoy Scott Adam’s book, How to fail at almost everything and still win big. Ray Dalio’s book, Principles, and Peter F. Drucker’s book, The Effective Executive.
Cheers!
What systems will you create?
