Have you ever met someone who’s highly motivated, full of energy, and ready to take on the world, yet they never seem to get anything done? They’re passionate and have the greatest intentions, but for some reason they just can’t accomplish their goals. In the fighter pilot world, they are what we call “all thrust and no vector.”
They have the thrust — power and motivation — but lack the vector — the guidance, the target, the direction. They’re flying in all directions at full afterburner without a plan to guide them to their goal. The end result is wasted energy coupled with frustration and disappointment.
