A coach explains why a concrete plan beats a vague goal, using Janice's deal-closing effort and Warren Buffett's nine-year path to his first million as proof. Most people quit when things get hard. The ones who stick with a clear plan for 2026 are the ones who win.

So I just want to get super clear on what 26 looks like and then commit to it, because then all the speed bumps that come up, like Janice experienced, you ask and you get answers and you keep going.
