What does deadline before the deadline mean?

deadline is the last day to complete a certain task.

you can think of your goals as a dream that has deadline. it makes you both passionate and realistic.it also means that sure you can try to achieve but it doesnt always work

If the IRS receives your return or payment after the deadline date but it is postmarked on or before the deadline date, then it is considered to have been filed on time.

A deadline can be changed, but a priority deadline cannot.

I think you mean "A goal is a dream with a deadline." Napoleon Hill said this, and he was differentiating between goals and dreams, implying that goals are things that you actually plan to accomplish...
