Published: Sept. 30, 2019, 2 p.m.

What were you taught about setting goals as a kid? If we\u2019re taught anything, we\u2019re usually taught to set goals around New Year\u2019s. But now, as we head into the last quarter of the year, is actually the perfect time to start considering our goals for the upcoming year. Gary Keller and Jay Papasan show us that, if you want to have great success, you have to have a bigger view of time \u2014 and you have to understand that the actions you take today may not have results until days or months down the road. So, in this episode, Jay and Wendy Papasan are going to share how they\u2019ve been setting goals for years and how you can apply these simple practices into your own relationship and/or business, even if the other people in your world aren\u2019t goal setters.
