Course overview
Lesson Overview
3.8 – Avoiding Vague Goal Language: Avoiding vague goal language means eliminating words like “better,” “more,” or “improve” unless they’re backed by specifics. Vague goals sound positive but provide no path for action. When you say “I want to get fit,” your mind has no clear instruction—but if you say “I will jog for 20 minutes, four times per week,” your body and brain know what to do. Precision turns intention into a roadmap. Clear language also prevents misunderstanding when working with teams or accountability partners. The more concrete your language, the easier it is to measure progress and celebrate success. Avoiding vague statements doesn’t limit creativity—it empowers it by giving structure. Words shape effort; if your words are clear, your direction is clear. Every goal begins as a sentence, so make that sentence strong, measurable, and ready to lead you somewhere real.
