1 What is the difference between goal setting and goal achieving?
There are significant differences between goal setting and goal achieving or attaining. For example, goal setting incorporates developing an action plan to inspire and guide an individual towards achieving a specific goal. Goal setting relates that an individual has committed emotion, behavior, and thought towards attaining an objective. On the other hand, goal-achieving is more than hard work and dedication.
