Take a five-year plus horizon

You probably won’t accomplish anything significant in the next three months (unless you started long ago).

You may not even get much done over the next six months.

But you can get a lot done over the next five years. Look back over the last five years to see how far you’ve come.

If you’re going to start something new—whether it be entering a new niche or launching an unproven service—take a five-year plus horizon.

If it’s still worth pursuing, begin the process today—even if it’s in a small way.

You may still end up somewhere else in five years, but you’ll be glad you took action either way.
