James C. Collins Quotes

Success should not necessarily be gauged by always reaching the goal set, but by progress and attainment.

An effective goal focuses primarily on results rather than activity. It identifies where you want to be, and, in the process, helps you determine where you are. It gives you important information on how to get there, and it tells you when you have arrived. It unifies your efforts and energy. It gives meaning and purpose to all you do.

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

In 2017, I was able to spend time with my family in Argentina, recharge my batteries, think about what had been achieved - I needed to change something to be better. I managed to score goals, make more assists: that is the important thing.

Ultimately I want to win. That's my main focus as my rookie year.

I want to become the best player in the world.

The reason so many individuals fail to achieve their goals in life is that they never really set them in the first place

The more goals you set, the more goals you get.

The way to get things done is to stimulate competition. I do not mean in a sordid, money-getting way, but in the desire to excel.

Failing to plan means planning to fail. What are your goals?

Don't ever be impressed with goal setting. Be impressed with goal getting.

Set your goals-without goals you cannot measure your progress. But don’t become frustrated because there are no obvious victories. Remind yourself that striving can be more important than arriving.

I've learned from my experience that desire is 80% of achievement. That if you really, really want something, if you really, really, really want to do something, that the vast majority of achieving it is wanting it. I mean, really wanting it. Not a preference, and not, "Gee, I hope this." I mean really wanting it. It is the desire that makes you do what you have to do to achieve.

It is good when you score lots of goals, but it is hard.

Your ability to set goals and to make plans for their accomplishment is the master skill of success.

Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.

It is necessary to prepare and to plan so that we don’t fritter away our lives. Without a goal, there can be no real success. One of the best definitions of success I have ever heard goes something like this: success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Someone has said the trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never cross the goal line.

My goal, everyone's goal is to get better at what we do.

I want to score goals in every match, as many as possible.

Set your goals and go out and do what you need to do to get it.

Set a goal, measure it, change if you need to, keep going after the goal.

Success is the progressive, timely achievement of your stated goals.

I realize that there are many variables outside my control in my quest, but focusing on the big goal down the road really motivates me. To help me stay focused, I set micro-goals such as races or training achievements that bring me one step closer to being at my best for major goals

The goals you don't set reveal the dreams you don't do.

Goals in writing are dreams with deadlines.
