No bigger lie was ever told... if you take the time to read biographies... you will find out that there is no such thing as success without meticulous planning and a great deal of dedication and work...
Success is a science... and every science has laws and rules... and if you want to master that science... you have to learn the rules and respect the laws inherent to that science...
Life is a journey... and if you start that journey not knowing where you want to go... you'll end up nowhere... and with nothing... and, that, you can take to the bank...

I agree with this, and have examples of goal setting working brilliantly. However, I have also had the opposite work brilliantly too. There are amasing examples of both paths. Branson is different to say Buffet. The story of Vivekananda is really interesting. I think the common thread is self assuredness, certainty, fearlessness.
