Bitesize: How to set goals

How to set goals properly, by focusing on what we can control and recognising what we can’t. Also – it’s about understanding the truth behind that famous Einstein quote about insanity, which he defined as ‘doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.’We’re hearing from Olympic gold medal winning rower Ben Hunt Davis. He competed in three Olympic games and in the first two – in 1992 and 1996, he finished way outside the medals. A couple of years before the 2000 Olympics, he and his teammates had an epiphany: they needed to change HOW they were doing things.That prompted them to identify a goal – winning Olympic gold – while recognising that winning wasn’t something they could control directly. What they could focus on to give themselves the best chance of success was boat speed – prompting them to formulate a question that has since entered sporting folklore… ‘Will it make the boat go faster’? **Follow me:on instagram https://www.instagram.com/simonmundie/on twitter https://twitter.com/simonmundieAnd for the 'Mundie on Monday' newsletter - featuring three of the best Life Lessons from three years and 200 of these conversations - head to simonmundie.comPlease do share this episode with anyone who may benefit, and rate and review wherever you get your podcasts.
