3 Key Points:

Goals should be specific and contain aspects that make it a ‘smart goal.’ (Specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, time-bound.)
It’s important to ‘shoot for the moon’ when trying to achieve a goal, because one might ‘land among the stars.’ (As corny as that sounds, John insists it’s true.)
The Freedom Journal is a tool designed to help users set and accomplish their goals. It’s not just a revenue model; the product is intended to make a lasting impact on the world.
