You Don’t Need Better Goals,You Need Better Systems

Hello there,

"You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." – James Clear, Atomic Habits

Spoiler alert—I haven’t read the book... yet.

But this quote?

I hear it e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.

And honestly?

It’s true.

Try running a business without systems…

Try training for a half marathon without systems…

Try sticking to a healthy, balanced diet without systems…

Sure, you might be able to wing it for a while.,

But eventually, everything falls apart, leaving you frustrated, overwhelmed, and wondering what went wrong.

I hear you, sis.

WTF is a system?

A system is simply the repeated set of actions that lead to an outcome.

Everyone has systems. Even if you don’t think you do.

🏋️ Want to get fit? Your workout routine is a system.

💰 Want to build wealth? Your spending and investing habits are a system.

🧠 Want to make better decisions? The way you process information is a system.

⏳ Want to be on time for work, school pickup, or yoga class? Yep, that’s a system too.

The problem? Most people don’t design their systems.

They fall into them by accident, and sometimes they don’t work for them but against them.

Some systems are complex—like NASA’s space mission protocols or global financial markets.

Others are simple—like the way you start your morning.

But here’s the key: You don’t need to build from scratch.

You need to refine what’s already there.

Take a quick audit of your daily systems:

✅ Where is your system working? Keep it.

⚠️ Where is it failing? Adjust it.

❌ Where is it missing? Build it.

Because goals set direction, but systems create results.

So tell me, what’s one system in your life that’s working for you right now?

Hit reply and let me know.

Thanks for reading 🖤,
