Dreams need deadlines

Got goals? Get a timeline!

Without a timeline, even brilliant business strategies are just wishes with buzzwords attached.

I've seen it repeatedly in my work: businesses that consistently achieve their goals all have one thing in common - they know exactly what needs to happen and when.

Your game-changing ideas deserve better than gathering dust in a forgotten Google Doc. They need DATES, DEADLINES, DIRECTIONS, TASKS, and MILESTONES.

The uncomfortable truth? Most business owners dodge timelines because they seem "too restrictive." Ironically, a solid timeline actually UNLEASHES creativity by eliminating the mental drain of constantly deciding what deserves attention next. It makes you more effective and gives you purpose.

I usually recommend a detailed first year timeline, with specific tasks and milestones, and a larger, more abstract roadmap for years two and three.

Think about it: If your business goals don't have deadlines, are they actually goals? Or just expensive daydreams you keep postponing? Take time to brainstorm where you want to go - you can do this with your team or with an outside strategic consultant who brings fresh perspective.
