Roles provide a way of breaking down what you do on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis into different groups or roles.

Goals are the primary, broad outcomes you wish to achieve in your life.
Without goals we are leaving our lives to random chance. The defining of our goals is the first step of turning your vision into a plan.

Objectives will be further broken down into tactics or actions.
Execution
If you want different results you are going to have to be different, and this is going to require work.
The problem with execution lies with a lack of awareness of who we are and what we want out of life.
