111: Long Term Decisions vs. Short Term Action

Any time you start something there is a desire to have that thing find success, whatever level of success that may be. Perhaps it’s completely passive income, making seven figures a year, having a certain amount of clients, or just having enough to do the things you really want to do.

Goals, dreams, and aspirations are all very important. Having a path in front of us helps to determine where we walk and what we do.

There’s a lot of advice out there about envisioning the future, deciding who you want to be and then modifying your behavior to fit that persona. We’re told to decide how successful we want our business to be and then “make it happen”.
