$1,000,000 Guru Tip Found Here...

Hi Mike,

Thanks, that was (as usual) a very thought-provoking post!

I read some of the writings of Robert Fritz which you linked to in your last post (such as this article), about different "frames" you can view things in.

As you pointed out, if your "time-frame" in which you view your activities is too immediate, you won't be able to plan for the larger projects, that require sustained work for anything more than a day. But,

Look at things with TOO big a time-frame, and you'll likely be dreaming a "pie in the sky" type of dream.

So, you need something in-between.

My question is - how do you determine this "optimal" in-between "frame" in which to view things? Do you have any insight into this? For example, what "time-frame" is the optimal one to consider (from the viewpoint of entrepreneurship)?

Or, taking it back to your example of John Buford, how did he determine which was the optimal distance from which to view things for his battles?

Thanks, Mike, for any further insights you can shed on this!
