The Importance of Setting Goals

Setting both telescope and microscope goals is crucial for achieving long-term success. Telescope goals represent your larger, long-term ambitions, while microscope goals are the actionable steps you take daily to reach those aspirations. For example, a Major League Baseball pitcher might aim for a decade-long career while breaking that down into winning daily pitches. This method emphasizes the need for clear and structured planning to translate big dreams into attainable objectives.
