It Starts With A Vision And A Dream

Goals are incredibly important to success. Most of us realize that reaching a goal is an achievement worthy of pride and even praise. What you may not know is that goals that exists in a vacuum aren’t likely to lead to the kind of success and satisfaction that is substantial and long-lasting. That’s because a goal by itself is lacking a reason for its existence. Perhaps you’ve heard the phrase, “Know your ‘why’.” Your “why” is your reason for pursuing a certain activity or objective.
