Fam, it’s more exciting and fun when you look back at your goals and you smashed them. On the other hand, I know you want to avoid it all together when you know that you're no way near reaching the first milestone, let alone reaching it. Trust me, I’m speaking from my own experience. Do we go back, after a few months, and review our New Year’s resolutions? What if progress didn’t come in the package, we expected it to come in? Would we still welcome it with open arms? How important is it to have a vision and accountability partners?
