Short-term planning will set you up for short-term gains.

Long-term gains are best achieved by making careful investments, being patient, and playing the long game.

Taking action only on what’s in front of you is short-sighted and reactionary.

Being proactive means stepping forward and not waiting for someone else to do something.

Taking a look at the big picture can bring clarity to complicated situations.

It only takes a moment to take a step back to survey the scene.  Give it a try and you may find that you’ll see something new.
