Critique Your Own Five-Year Plan for Wishful Thinking
A five-year plan written on a good day tends to skip the boring parts: the first step, the money, the goals quietly competing for the same eighteen months. This checks the plan for what depends on luck, what has no real starting point, and rewrites the weakest goals into something you could actually resource.
