Why 13 Weeks Beats 12 Months

ByJowi

One thing I see often is:

We plan for a year and then quit after one month.
The fact is that most people already quit their New Year’s resolution by February.
They plan and have high hopes.
​Next year is going to be different.

So every December they sit down with big dreams.
Finally to start that business.
Finally to block more time for family.
Every year it is sad to see how many start and then fail before they actually make a difference.

We try to think and dream in a year.
It feels like the best way.
We celebrate our birthday once every year.
We have the year on the ground number to grow.
And we celebrate all festivities once a year.

There is something that is often forgotten—mixed up.
It’s not the year that gets split into 4 quarters.
​It’s the other way around.

One year is the cycle of all 4 seasons to have passed once.​
So the year is not the whole.
​Each season is the whole.​
We have 4 seasons as the foundation.

Depending where you’re at, the length might vary.
Each season is about 13 weeks.
This gives us a clear plan:
​13 weeks × 4 seasons = one year.

Now we don’t need to wait and plan the next year with actions.
​We plan 13 weeks.

This means when February rolls around, we are already 50% there to reach our goals.

    Every time I sit down to work I feel a little pull.I wish I could be with my family. There is so much that I would like to do with them, but I need to get my work done. On the other end, there is the problem too. When I’m with my family, I’m checking my phone, looking at what has been happening in the business. I’m getting pulled between my business and my family. I imagine you’re experiencing the same inner tug-of-war. When we’re doing business things, we feel like we’re not there for the…

  • Broken Families break Society

    Broken Families break Society Broken families lead to broken societies, distant communities, and empty neighborhoods. My brother and I puzzled a lot. We had one puzzle where, in the end, one piece was missing. We puzzled many landscapes to hang them up as pictures on the wall. Once you found the missing piece, no matter how often you looked at the picture, you always noticed this missing piece. There was an empty space. When I think of broken families, I think of this incomplete puzzle. It…

  • Fix your strategy to gain clarity

    I have talked with more than 20 men in my coaching by now. They all dream to grow a business. Yet they all get stuck. They are motivated, they have their reason and are excited to start. Yet they lack the strategy. They want clients. Yet have no offer, no leads, and no conversion. In the end, they are frustrated, confused, and overwhelmed. I know how that feels. I have been there too. It sucks. When we’re in the coaching sessions, I come to bring the strategy to build an offer, get leads, and…

    I have to admit something.I love my business and I really enjoy building businesses. That might not be that surprising. The surprising side is that I’m proud of how much I work. 50 hours a week is a good baseline. (I’m actively not counting all things because the shadow schedule is a lot bigger.) I started my business to build for my family, not to run from them. Now I have a business that hides me from my family. When I’m not working, I feel bad about not getting more done. So I get back to…

  • Content Won’t Matter (Until You Know This)

    The creator economy is bound to grow the next few years. A lot of people want to get onboard. The sad part is that I see a lot of repeated content. Something really copy-and-paste content. Taken from top creators. Now with AI added to the mix, there is also plenty of AI content out there. So people post every day, yet seem to not get it right. They are consistent— but not seeing any progress. I got a message the other day saying that my content “feels so different and unique.” Most people…

  • The $1 Billion Business You Would Never Sell?

    Hey Reader, In a recent podcast that I listened to, they were chatting about the perfect business. A lot of people advise to build a business you could sell later. It is with the idea to personally get so much money out of the exit that you would never need to work again in your life. When I talk to my clients, they always say that they don’t mind to work. It is the other way around. They want to show their work. What a good work ethic looks like. In the podcast, the host asked: “What if I…
