- Goal setting
We all have many types of goals in our life. To reach a goal, there are always steps we have to take, even more so if we have to learn new skills to help us reach said goal. Goal setting is a valuable tool because it combines a number of very important skills that are both technical and personal. On the technical side its finding the resources whether its coaching or tutorials to learn skills, and putting time into practicing. On the more personal side we have to reflect with-in ourselves to motivate ourselves to work hard and do better. Regardless whether or not we reach our goal there are still more lessons that we can learn from. If you fail to reach your goal, you have to self reflect on what you need to do to do better, and how do you rebound from the situation. If you are successful, how do you build off that success or repeat it? It takes one set of skills to become successful and another to maintain success.
