The Goal Standard Challenge began last week, but today is where the work begins. We couldn't be more excited to have you part of this very special program. The five-week program is designed to help you achieve your goals and make 2017 yours.
Last week, we focused on preparation – helping you craft a goal – and now we are getting ready to help you achieve it.
During this stage, what researchers call the "Honeymoon Stage," you're understandably excited. You've got big energy and anything seems possible. We're here to show you how to harness that energy to create positive habits and real momentum to help you through the rest of the challenge. We've got a number of ways to help you do just that, all outlined in the schedule below.
