Sky introduces the Smart goals system for poker players. He explains how specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and timebound goals help build winning habits. Sky shares his own January goals and offers free daily action steps to help players stay consistent.

Action builds habits. Habits create the player who achieves dreams. Short-term goals beat yearly resolutions.

Building Your Poker Success System:

  • Dreams require becoming the player who can achieve them through consistent habits
  • Smart goals are specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and timebound
  • Weekly or monthly goals allow easier course correction than yearly resolutions
  • Focused poker sessions beat high-volume distracted play for skill development
  • Daily action steps create momentum faster than sporadic effort
  • Short time frames prevent procrastination and maintain urgency
  • The formula: "I will [action] in [timeframe] in order to [habit]"
