Yes, that and getting out of one’s comfort zone…
In order to get what you’re not getting, you have to do what you’re not doing.

This article can be applied to all areas of life. #8 caught my attention straightaway, before any of the other points. It’s so important to make sure your goals match your values or else you’re setting yourself up for failure.

I think this is where a lot of people have trouble in the business world. Maybe the tasks they are asked to do at their jobs, in order to meet the company’s targets, don’t entirely match their personal belief systems … and then they beat themselves up for not being able to meet the targets on a consistent basis. The truth is, the only goals you can ever consistently meet are the ones that are congruent with your personal beliefs/values/viewpoints. If that’s not the case, it’s seriously time to find a new goal … or a new job, in this case.

No 7 and 8 stand out for me.

I am not sure if I want to do anything if it’s not in alignment with my values. Without No 7 and 8, it’s difficult to have any drive or sustaining power.

Once this is clear the rest falls under strategy for me. Great tips!
