who agrees?
You shouldn't care if you fall short wrt the profit goals.* IMO falling short re volume goals isn't acceptable - unless some great unexpected event happens that physically displaces you making you unable to grind.
And when I say that, I'm not referring to Mason's 100k hand volume goal. I wouldn't say that is a healthy/sustainable goal but more of a challenge of sorts - it doesn't really matter whether he achieves that or not because regardless of where he lands, he aimed so high he's bound to have achieved a very solid monthly volume in any case.
But if you're playing full time, for instance, and set a weekly goal of 40 hours volume - or maybe you set 160 hours monthly, then it really does matter whether you achieve it or not. Because if you're regularly slacking with regard to fairly pedestrian volume goals, it shows you're probably not where you need to be discipline/mental game wise to be playing full time.
Obv if you're a rec who takes the game somewhat srs, it's prob not the end of the world if you miss volume targets but for someone like Mason, and for anyone playing full time, missing realistic volume targets is a recipe for disaster imo.
