Will you succeed in reaching your next big goal? Only time will tell. Because success (or failure) generally comes at the end of the process.

Except that every success or failure is actually made up of countless smaller successes or failures that happened along the way. And paying more attention to those can save us a lot of frustration and disappointment.

In this episode, I’m borrowing a powerful concept from the world of business that can help you notch more wins, build confidence, and feel more in control of your progress—whatever you’re working toward.

Key Takeaways

  1. Lagging indicators reflect the results of your actions—but only after the fact.
  2. Leading indicators are the consistent, controllable actions that move you toward your goal. They help you stay engaged with the process, even when the payoff is weeks or months away.
  3. When you define progress by your actions, you create more opportunities for wins—even before the results show up.
  4. Clarifying what your outcome is meant to make possible helps sustain motivation—and shapes smarter action plans.
  5. If progress is elusive, look upstream. Ask: "What behaviors am I consistently tracking—and are they the right ones?"
