Episode notes
Specificity Trains Your Brain
- Your brain needs a specific image or number to guide action toward a goal.
- Vague goals like "prosperity" fail because the brain can't target a clear outcome.
Clarity Beats Fancy Language
- If people can't grasp your description, your vision is too vague and abstract.
- Clear branding or labels (like 'Cold Brews and Cheeseburgers') immediately convey expectations.

- Expect anxiety and a "terror barrier" when a vision outpaces your current self.
- Feel the discomfort and keep moving toward the crystal-clear vision.
