This is the time of year when many of us take stock of our lives and make plans for next year. With this in mind, I brought a long(ish) reading to episode 25 of Traction Heroes. Here’s the key fragment:
Vision is the most important thing. Vision is purpose and meaning. To have a clear vision is to have a picture of what you want your life to look like and a plan for how to get there.
I won’t share the source here. That’s a surprise: you’ll have to listen to the show to learn who wrote it.
But I agree with the sentiment: a clear vision is fundamental to establishing effective goals. You can’t set a direction if you’re unclear on where you want to go. And what point is there in gaining traction if you’re headed the wrong way?
