Most of us have heard of SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound), but what is a big gorgeous goal? What makes a big gorgeous goal unique?

The problem is that, without taking a break, you’re not allowing yourself time and space to do that big picture visioning that brings your work to life.
