Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep planning by staring at the huge faraway goal and feeling stuck, when what I actually need is to look at what I already have right now and ask what that makes possible this week.
• I have a big goal but no idea what to actually do about it this week, so my days fill up with whatever lands in front of me and the goal just sits there, never broken down into anything I can pick up today.
• I’ve got this big goal way out there but no idea what I’m supposed to actually do this week to get closer, so it just sits there as a someday thing and I never move on it.
• I have this huge dream I care about deeply, but it just hovers out there as a wish
• I get genuinely fired up about a goal and then keep falling at the exact same internal hurdle
