Nate Tilley says most entrepreneurs fail because they measure goals wrong. Work backwards from your end goal to identify daily and weekly tasks, then commit to them ruthlessly. Cut the excuses and the noise.
Have your goals measured by activities rather than just outcomes. And you want to really start with the goal in mind, and then you want to work backwards of all the actions that you're going to need to take in order to hit those goals. And then you want to commit to those daily actions and to those weekly actions. You don't want to let that little bitch in your head start whispering in your ear and coming up with excuses of why you can't make your goals a reality right now because of everything that's going on in the world, a lot of the stuff and external things that are coming at you are simply distractions. What you really need to get acute and fine tune the ability to separate the signal from the noise and really focus on your goals and the things that are inside your control. And you want to keep yourself ruthlessly accountable to those things and not to come up with excuses.
