Alan Stein, Jr. : Detaching Yourself From The Outcome | Speaker, Coach & Former NBA Performance Coach

We always hear about setting goals and objectives. It’s something we’re all taught since grade school – write out your goals and objectives for the year. A habit and practice that many of us know is essential to finding success.

Yet, the secret to finding success and achieving greatness is not about setting goals and objectives. Instead, it comes down to detaching yourself from the goals and results, and instead, focusing on the tasks, actions, routines, and processes that you need to be doing daily to help you get to your destination.

If you want to learn how you can break down your goals into actions and routines like an all-start athlete and coach, then this episode is for you.
