The replay of our 12 Week Year Kick Off is here 🤍 Let’s get this party started. 🚀 If you missed it live, watch it at your earliest convenience, but know you will need time afterward to do your vision work, set your goals and tactics, and get your tracking system ready for a start on Monday, Feb 23. Because the next 12 weeks are your playground with a group of like-minded entrepreneurs doing the thing. This is how we are showing up. The Twelve-Week Year System. 1. Vision You will create two visions. -Long-term vision Where are you going in 5, 10, or 15 years? -Near-term vision Where do you want to be in the next 36 months? Your vision should stretch you. It should feel exciting. Maybe even a little uncomfortable. Bigger than your current reality. That is the point. 2. 12 Week Goals From your vision, choose 1 to 3 meaningful goals for this 12-week cycle. Then break them into • Weekly action-oriented tactics • Clear weekly outcomes Your goals need to be measurable and realistic. Your weekly tactics need to be actions you can actually complete each week. Not vague hopes. Clear moves. 3. Keep Score We track execution weekly. Because what gets measured gets improved. And execution is what we actually control. Standard members -Use the free trackers from the author's website. Premium members -Use the custom Google Sheets tracker inside the community classroom. Execution rate matters more than intention. But we need both. If you want the full system, the tracker, live feedback, and masterminds, check your status or upgrade to Premium here. 4. Weekly Accountability Every Monday is WAM day. WAM means Weekly Accountability Meeting. Standard members - Post your 90-second WAM on the Wall of WAMs Padlet. Premium -Join live for WAM feedback on Mondays or post on the Padlet

I’m really excited to finally say this out loud. We are starting our 12 Week Year together very soon. I'm adding dates to the calendar now! We’ll officially kick things off on Tuesday, February 17, at 12 PM EST, and between now and then, I’ll be sharing something connected to the 12 Week Year with you almost every day inside this space. Think of these next couple of weeks as a gentle runway. I’ll be dropping tools and ideas to help you slow down, get clear, and shape the next twelve weeks with intention. Nothing overwhelming. Just small pieces that add up. You don’t need to do anything right now. Just stay curious and notice what shows up in your days. So… what is the 12 Week Year? At its core, the 12 Week Year is a way of working that helps you make more progress in 12 weeks than most people do in 12 months. The biggest shift is this: Instead of spreading goals across a long, fuzzy year, we work in a shorter, focused season. That one change alters how you think, plan, and follow through. When the window is smaller, clarity increases. Urgency shows up, but without panic. And momentum becomes easier to build. Here are a few ideas from the book that I’ll come back to again and again: -We focus on execution, not just planning. -We use twelve weeks to create urgency, not stress. -Each week matters because it is a meaningful part of the whole. We choose fewer goals and commit to them fully. And we use systems so we don’t go rogue or burn out halfway through. Most people already work hard. This system helps you work more calmly and intentionally. We’ll be working from the book The 12 Week Year. You’re welcome to grab a copy if that feels supportive, but it’s not required. I’ll also share summaries, videos, and examples so you can fully participate, whether or not you can attend. The shared language we’ll use together You’ll hear these terms a lot inside this space, so I want to name them early. Vision Where you’re going and why it matters to you. This is the why behind the work.

I often find myself sitting at the computer clicking through tabs, thinking I could do this, or I could do that, and just overanalyzing things and not taking a decision on something to do. I feel like I waste a lot of time doing this. Does this happen to anyone else? How do I break out of it? I could literally be thinking... well I could upload a video to youtube, or I could start planning future posts, or I could start planning out what my next offer could be, and the thought loop continues with me not actually doing anything but just burning time. Open to suggestions.
