North Star — {CUSTOMER_NAME}

Your destination. The real why beneath everything. Drafted from intake; refine over time. Don't auto-edit; rewrites require deliberate input.

The financial mile-marker

  • Target: [fill from intake — e.g., "$1M USD net worth" / "$10K/mo MRR" / "100K subscribers"]
  • Why this number: [fill — what does this number unlock?]
  • Time horizon: [fill — when do you want to hit it?]

The real why

This is not the financial number. This is the deeper thing — the person you're trying to take care of, the family you're trying to feed, the dream that has a real face.

[fill from intake — write 2-3 sentences. The real one, not the LinkedIn-post one.]

The shame / fear at the bottom

What you're climbing AWAY from. Naming this matters.

[fill — be honest. Optional but recommended.]

What the destination looks like once you arrive

Specific. What's the day look like? Where are you? Who's there? What's not there anymore?

[fill]

Stages between here and there

Optional — your version of "stages" (similar to the Stage 0 → 5 framing some operators use). Define your own.

  • Stage 0: [fill — current state]
  • Stage 1: [fill — first survival milestone]
  • Stage 2: [fill — first stable milestone]
  • Stage 3: [fill — first comfort milestone]
  • Stage 4: [fill — first scale milestone]
  • Stage 5: [fill — destination]

When to re-read this file

  • Every /sunday (briefly — does the week's work serve this?)
  • Every /monthly (longer — does the month's bets serve this?)
  • When you're about to say yes to a big commitment (does it serve this?)
  • When you're tempted to quit (re-read; remember why)
  • When you're celebrating a win (re-read; calibrate the win against the destination)
