Meta Description:
Vague ambition creates drift. Scott Smith explains why leaders must define a measurable win before effort can compound.

🎙️ Episode Summary

“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.” — Epictetus

Most leaders are not tired. They’re undefined.

Growth, scale, impact — these are not wins. They are abstractions. In this episode, Scott challenges founders and executives to define a measurable, operational target for the next 90 days.

When the win is unclear, every opportunity looks attractive.
When the win is defined, distractions reveal themselves.

Clarity precedes discipline.
