Success = Goals + Habits

Goals and habits are the two main variables in the success equation. While goals provide you with a sense of direction and help you focus, effective habits give you the mental discipline to reach your goals. If either variable is missing, the success equation simply doesn’t add up. Conversely, when you improve your goal setting skills and form good habits, success levels soar.
