Entrepreneurs are accustomed to setting goals

Entrepreneurs are accustomed to setting goals. They tend to have goals for revenue; for number of customers, clients or users; for sales figures. But goals can be detrimental to long-term progress, says James Clear, an entrepreneur, weightlifter and photographer who writes about how to improve your work and health. Once you reach a goal, that goal is no longer there to motivate you. "When all of your hard work is focused on a particular goal, what is left to push you forward after you achieve it?" Clear asks.
