This is a YouTube video titled "What Do Good Goals Look Like?" containing a discussion from February 8, 2023, where George B. Thomas reflects on the process of setting and evaluating personal goals, emphasizing the importance of agility and reassessment in goal-setting.
It took me a month to realize I had set the wrong goals. And I realized that part of the process for me is that you have to learn what good goals even look like and then like you said, be willing to pivot. I also had to sit with some goals for a while to realize I'm really glad I set this goal because now I realize I don't want it or am I going after the wrong thing. And so I think you brought up a really good point there, George, is that and I want to split the baby here a little bit. I think it is important to be specific and all of those different things about your goals. But the agility piece is so important. You have to get good at creating goals. And I think a lot of people are just like well, I set a goal, I did it. And they don't ever stop to question whether or not the goal was even valid in the first place.
