A ski instructor told the speaker to keep your eye on the horizon and your balance will always be better. The lesson works as a metaphor for life and business: a big goal acts as your horizon, keeping daily actions aligned with what matters.

So I had a ski lesson today and our guide told me something that really changed my perspective. He said, keep your eye on the horizon and your balance will always be better. And I just love that quote because I feel like it's applicable in so many other things in life, like in business. Having a big audacious goal can really help you keep your balance as you're doing the small things because you see how they connect to the bigger picture. And just wanted to come on and share that. I thought that was really special and I learned something new today.
