Hi, David - thanks for this interesting article.

I'm enjoying reading your book, although I've had to temporarily set it aside ... not from seasickness, but because of some urgent matters:)

The learning that comes out for me from your thoughts is that determining our purpose, creating a vision, and installing specific measures and action steps all give us one important thing;  Focus.

The "Focus" word is almost overused these days, but that does not take away from its importance.  If we take the time to clarify what we want, why we want it, how we will know we have it, and what we need to do to get it, we have truly focused on that thing.

This, in turn, makes it much more likely that we will actually achieve it:)

Great thoughts and I am looking forward to reengaging with your book.

John
