1. In the clearest possible terms, what is your goal? Could an unbiased observer know whether you achieved it?
  1. Why is it important to you? And why is that reason important? And why that...?
  1. Why might you NOT achieve it? Maybe you’ll forget, change your priorities, experience a physical setback... anticipate these things early.
  1. How will you get from point A to point B? What’s the very next step in front of you?

When you do this type of work upfront, you get to make it look easy to succeed later on. Share this with someone who’s got a goal!
