I'm not a big believer in long-term planning and far-off goals. In fact, I generally set 3-month and 6-month dreamlines. The variables change too much and in-the-future distance becomes an excuse for postponing action.

That is a lesson that very few product developers and marketers have learned, and it's unfortunate.
