Awareness

Can you describe in great detail where do you want to arrive?

How about signals and indicators that will tell you if you are going in the right direction?

And how will you know that you have really arrived?

What about where you are right now?

Do you understand yourself? How you operate and what makes you tick?

Do you comprehend the ecosystem you are in?

Last by not least, do your colleagues have the same understanding of the business and world as you do?

Even a single no can greatly derail your efforts.
