A-B-Z Framework is a mental model to save you from analysis paralysis while starting new projects or achieving your life goals.
What is your career target?
Building a successful company? Becoming a CEO?
Having a long-term goal for yourself is good. But it might be overwhelming when you start thinking about how to get there.
Too many steps to figure out, and too many unknowns…
With the A-B-Z Framework, you don’t need to know all the steps to achieve your aim.
All you need to know is your A-B-Z:
That’s it.
You don’t need to know steps C, D, or E at the beginning. Focusing on them will cause you to procrastinate instead of taking action.
Assess where you are (A), set your direction (Z), and decide on your immediate next step (B). Take that action.
You will figure out the rest along the way.
