In the book

Build this into a system — a repeatable process for predictably reaching the goal — and make sure the system actually serves your big-picture aim rather than some smaller one. Keep your thinking lean as you go: cut straight through the excess and aim directly at the goal rather than getting lost in the fat around it. Seen this way, success is less a finish line you cross than a system you refine, endlessly. — Goals, Action & Defining Success (Goal/Action/Success/Motivation)
