Setting and Achieving Your Goals

John Norcross, a researcher who has been studying goals for many years, defines a goal as "a mental representation of the desired outcome to which a person is committed." A good example of a goal would be to "own a franchise within six months."

Bridges can be scary indeed, especially if the construction isn't built correctly. For example, some bridges are built for bikes and pedestrians only. If a full-sized vehicle were to pass over a bridge such as this, the outcome more than likely would be devastating. As a franchise consultant, I help to build strong bridges between ...
