ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Draw the Straight Line: Stay Focused on Your Goal
On a Sunday episode of the Growth Notes Podcast, Frazier reminds listeners that “the shortest distance between any two points is a straight line,” and challenges them to examine how often they zig and zag on the way to their objectives. He distinguishes unnecessary wandering from intentional pivoting, noting that many detours come from “maybe” thinking rather than a clear plan. Frazier connects this to daily execution as well—without a schedule or strategy, days become a squiggly line instead of controlled progress. As a practical exercise for November, he encourages listeners to choose a goal for the next 60 days, draw a straight line from “me November 1st” to the goal, write the actions required along the line, keep it visible as a map, and track how often they drift off path through the end of the year.
