I. The Surprising Power of Atomic Habits

Goals vs System

  • Goals are about the results you want to achieve.
  • Systems are about the processes that lead to those results

For example:

If you are an entrepreneur, your goal might be to build a million-dollar business. Your system is how you test product ideas, hire employees, and run marketing campaigns.

  • Winners and losers have the same goals, what makes them different is the system  
  • Achieving a goal is only a momentary change
  • The purpose of building a system is to continue playing the game
  • It is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress
