One of the easiest ways to improve performance is by establishing routines. The caveat is that the routine needs actually to be effective. And I see plenty of people touting their routines which are often bloated and showy more than delivering real substance.
Whether you're working on personal development, focused on being a better leader or running your own business, goals are essential. So in this episode, I'm sharing a routine that my clients swear by to keep them on track with their goals.
