Hey Derek, I've got to say, the Admiral Ackbar meme had me hooked right from the start – perfect trap analogy! 😬

I've been chasing my tail with goals too, often ending up feeling more like a hamster in a wheel than a trailblazer.

Your take on embracing systems over fixating on the endgame is enlightening. It’s a mindset shift I'm in the process of implementing, and it's done wonders for my morning routine.

Thanks for the insightful read and the chuckle! πŸ™βœ¨

Goal setting without a system to achieve that goal is for sure frustrating at best ! The trick is in the system and having this sorted so your goal is achieved!

I believe I am stage 2 when it comes to learning French πŸ˜‚. Thanks for the thought provoking piece, made me realise I need to look at my systems a bit more when it comes to Substack actually.

Should stage 2 in the diagram and the text be "Conscious Incompetence"?

ACK! yes, I just fixed it for the post, but (sigh) the newsletter will be wrong. Thanks for the catch!
