For years, we had learned that a good vision is a BHAG (a Big Hairy Audacious Goal) and that it should be a short, memorable slogan. In reality, before you start marketing, you need clarity on whom you’re targeting, what your positioning is, i.e. what their pain is, what current solutions exist, and what you’re doing that’s world-changing.

The Pinto resulted in 53 deaths and many more injuries because workers omitted safety checks in pursuit of Lee Iacocca's BHAG goal of a car that would be "under 2000 pounds and under $2,000" by 1970. And not just any goals, but stretch goals.
