Ben Kirk: Goal Setting and Accountability | Work in Progress #61

·50 min·3 clips

The difference between a reason and an excuse is that a reason is something you have absolutely no control over.

Accountability coach Ben Kirk shares his goal-setting framework on the Work in Progress podcast, including the 10-by-10 goal challenge, the bowling ball metaphor for limiting active goals, and the critical distinction between reasons and excuses. Drawing from his background in fitness coaching, military service, and mentorship under Brian Tracy, Kirk emphasizes time blocking, quarterly goal reviews, and confronting obstacles head-on.
