Why I Gave Up On S.M.A.R.T. Goals and Annual Planning

by | Uncategorized

A little over a year ago, I really thought I was getting a lot done.  I have 4 kids, a full time job and I’m founder of a national non-profit. Everyday feels pretty full and accomplished.

And then something game changing happened.

In December 2015 I met someone who took it to a whole new level.   Someone who has taught Olympians, professional athletes and the world’s smartest CEO’s how to improve their game of setting goals and achieving even more……without killing themselves in the process.

I need all you busy moms and dads, business owners and anyone feeling overwhelmed with their to do list to make time to watch this.

And you know how much I value time.  Mine, yours and everyones.   This one can be a game changer for you.

This is the first video in my friend Todd Herman’s new 90 Day Year – Business Achievement Masterclass series, and all I can say is… this is what started the change in momentum to accomplish even more in my business….while doing less actually.

I always thought I had a pretty good handle on this goal setting thing.  Leaning on the trusted S.M.A.R.T. goal formula that’s been the “gold standard” of the self-development industry for the last few decades.

But even though I always felt that something was *missing* in that goal setting system, I could never quite figure out WHY (but I totally thought it must have been me doing something wrong.)

That was until I got to Todd’s video, and it completely OBLITERATED everything I thought I knew about goal setting and achievement.

Had I only approached my goals in this way, not only would I have achieved MORE in FAR less time…
… but I would have done so with more clarity, predictability and less leaked energy.

So if setting S.M.A.R.T goals has long drawn your suspicion…and you’re tired of hearing that acronym spelled out to you over and over again by “leaders” in the business world….then you’re ready to ditch them in favor of a proven goal ACHIEVEMENT system.

The first time I applied the 90 day year system, I wrote a 350 page book in about 6 weeks.  So far 3,000 copies have been sold.  Yeah.  Writing a book was sorta on my bucket list but seemed like a “yeah right when are you going to do that?” kind of goal.   90 day later, I looked up and I had my own book in my hands.

Since then, I’ve operated in the 90 Day Year mode for 18 months and I’ve…..

  • tripled my team size to keep up with my business
  • stopped accepting boring contracts just for the money and have become selective in the types of projects and clients I want to work with
  • added an entirely new program offering (How She Quits)
  • created another book product for our non-profit – the Fire Wife Coloring Journal
  • my home and family are more organized
  • taken more time off for family fun than ever when working my 9-to-5

And in general, I’m working with more peace and calm than ever before.

Join me in watching Todd’s first training video, and learn:

  • The 3 reasons why SMART goals are a surefire way to sabotage your success in 2017 (ever notice how millions of business owners set them, yet only a handful ever achieve something on a large scale?)
  • The hidden “leak” in your day-to-day routine that may be robbing you of up to 80% of your productive efficiency… and how to instantly patch it up for good.
  • The “Nike Paradox” and why the pervasive “just do it” business battlecry is short sighted and even disastrous in helping you sustain long term, continual achievement.
  • The subtle differences between the OW and WOW mindsets, and how with just a few simple tweaks you can move from a self-sabotaging, anxiety-driven entrepreneur caught in the constant comparison trap… to a confident, motivated, constantly-improving high performer.
  • Why setting goals beyond 90 days sucks all the air out of your motivation, leads to crippling procrastination, and goes against the way your brain is naturally wired.

P.S. In case you’re wondering…Who’s Todd Herman:

Simply put, he’s the best no-bs, Peak Performance Coach you’ve never heard of.   I tend to be a little cynical and suspicious of those big names that are showing their face all over the internet and wonder if they’ve really done what they claim they can teach us.    When I first met Todd, I knew he was different.  Why?

Because while all the “mindset gurus” and “self help starlets” were busy spamming your inbox with one pseudo-scientific claim after another…
… Todd was in the real world trenches, showing up day in and day out on the world’s most pressure-packed stages, coaching professional athletes, Olympians, Fortune 100 CEO’S, and high-level entrepreneurs on how to perform when the stakes are highest.

—–> Can you see why I decided to listen to him?

He’s dug into the science… and even brought on third-party Harvard researchers to independently validate the claims of his systems.

Have you bought other online programs only to let them collect dust in your digital library?   Not this one.  I’ve absorbed it all the way through.  Multiple times.  Because it keeps delivering for me over and over again.

Here’s your first step.
