Goals set a destination to aim for

2. Clarity on your priorities & direction

3. Clarity on what to do & what NOT to do

4. Connect with your inner ‘Why’ = Your Intrinsic Motivation

5. Accountability and a target to measure

“The major reason for setting goals is to compel you to become the person it takes to achieve them,” – Jim Rohn
