A fresh start with a simple framework for annual goal setting.
(For elite performers.)

It's all about client-centric focus, clear outcomes, and measurable actions.

Most people:
⇥ Set vague, aspirational goals that lack specific, measurable outcomes.
⇥ Assume they understand client priorities without real data validation.
⇥ Skip structured check-ins, hoping to stay on track automatically.

But here’s what happens:
⇥ Initiatives become too broad, leading to scattered, unfocused work.
⇥ Efforts miss the mark because goals are based on false assumptions.
⇥ Feast or famine performance without regular, disciplined reviews.

Instead, elite performers:
⇥ Define layered plans with clear, measurable results at each level.
⇥ Get goals validated with client data and industry insights.
⇥ Commitment to reviews based on real progress.

To stay effective, create client-driven goals, track consistently, and adapt as needed to stay relevant and impactful.

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
