Mel Abraham argues that vague goals are just guesses. You need a specific number, a real finish line, and a concrete plan to reach it. Without that clarity, you're running a race with no endpoint in sight.
You're running a race that you have no idea where the finish line is. It could be behind you. It could be ahead of you. You could literally be standing on it and you wouldn't even know it because you never defined it. And that hit harder than the pavement did. That conversation changed everything for me. Not because I needed a bigger number, but because I actually needed a real number. A number without a destination isn't a goal. It's a guess. Wearing a nice outfit— Define what your finish line is. Build the plan that gets you there and then go live like you actually know where you're going.
