In this episode, Neil explores the importance of setting goals and the impact they have on personal growth and success. Drawing from his own experiences and insights gained over 25 years in business, Neil emphasises the need for clear, challenging goals that push individuals beyond their comfort zones. He discusses the concept of SMART goals and contrasts them with the BHAG model (Big Hairy Audacious Goals). Neil provides practical advice on how to work towards goals by breaking them down into manageable steps and establishing daily habits that move individuals closer to their desired outcomes.

BEST MOMENTS

"Life without goals, without targets, without direction. You might blunder into something, sometime, but frankly it's a bit of a long shot, isn't it?"

"I set goals high for myself and for the people around me because I care. Something to live up to. Something worth going after." 

"100% at university probably isn't going to be possible. Not all the time and not in every circumstance." 

"The outcome is nothing without the process. So always focus on the process." 

"Habits are built in a simple three step model. Cue. Action. Reward."
