Where do you want to be ten years from now? It’s is a good question, but it’s so far off it doesn’t help as much as shortening the time period. Where do you want to be two years from now? That’s a better question because it’s long enough to dream and short enough to make it happen. Figure that out and then ask: HOW CAN I DO THAT IN SIX MONTHS?
My hiatus timeline is so minimal, there's only a select number of projects that I can go in for.
