I don't really understand that comment. Why would having a continuous goal rather than a distant one mean lack of action?
If your goal is continuous improvement then you would
work on it, just like any other goal. If anything, I find short term action more encouraging - distant goals are so far away as to be demotivating. And while you certainly have short term goals as well you know they're just one piece down, a zillion to go.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I don't know about you, but I'd find that journey a lot more achievable if I was thinking about the day, or the hour's travel rather than the 999 miles lying ahead of me.
