A dream without a goal is just a fantasy. This episode is all about taking baby steps toward the two key things you need to make your dream a reality: planning, and action. Taking action without a plan can and does often lead to wasted time & resources, and planning without execution is an exercise in mental masturbation.

Whether your goal is to establish yourself as an iconic brand, an artist reaching for the stars, or a commercial tour-de-force as a producer, if you're stuck or on the fence about committing fully to making a career out of your passion, these questions are designed for finality and concreteness. Delusionists beware, you will come to a conclusion.

These questions come from many business growth and personal development books, and years of my own personal experience in doing it all in the worst ways! Learn from my mistakes so you don't have to suffer the same things I endured.
