Why Writing Down Your Goals and Reflecting Regularly Changes Everything

What separates dreamers from doers? Daymond John’s answer is simple: action. In 'Powershift,' he reveals that writing down your goals and regularly taking stock of your progress are the most powerful habits you can build.

Research shows that people who write their goals are far more likely to achieve them. John recommends breaking down big dreams into specific, actionable steps, and reviewing them daily. This keeps your vision front and center, fueling motivation.



Self-inventory means reflecting honestly on your strengths, weaknesses, and lessons learned. By celebrating small wins and adjusting your strategy, you keep moving forward—even when life throws curveballs.

Goal setting and self-inventory aren’t just productivity hacks—they’re the engine of personal growth. Start today, and watch your life transform.
