Goals Are Overrated.
Execution Is Everything.

Thinking big is not enough.

Everybody wants a gold medal, but few people want to train like an Olympian. Having a goal is easy. Executing on a goal is hard. Starters are many. Finishers are few. And in the end, execution is everything.

In this highly motivational talk, James Clear shows you how to be a finisher, rising above a world that is idea-rich, but execution poor. What holds us back is rarely our ideas or our goals. The real bottleneck of progress is our daily habits and the system we have for making them happen. Great companies, teams, and leaders execute on the things that matter, when it matters most. They don’t merely set goals, they build systems. This prescriptive presentation shows you, step-by-step how to build the systems you need to get the results you want.

Description: We stand at the brink of a technological evolution. The future will be unlike anything we have ever seen before. In this world, we have constant access to information, but what will we do with it? We live in a world that is idea rich, but execution poor. We have more access to information and ideas than ever before. What holds us back is not our ideas, our dreams, or our goals. The bottleneck of progress is our daily habits and the system we have for making them happen. Having a goal is easy. Executing on a goal is hard. Starters are many. Finishers are few.

What do all great companies, teams, and leaders have in common? They execute on the things that matter when it matters most. They don’t merely set goals, they build systems. In this powerful talk, James Clear will break down, step-by-step, how to build the systems you need to get the results you want. Setting big goals and coming up with a grand vision is not enough to make progress. We need better systems and more execution, if we wish to actually deliver on our dreams and ambitions.

Everybody wants a gold medal, but few people want to train like an Olympian. In a world where information and ideas are easy to access, execution is the difference between success and mediocrity. Winners win because they have better systems, not because they have bigger goals. Thinking big is not enough. Improvement requires execution.
