Without clear goals you will fail.

Hey Reader,

Sometimes I have days when I start to feel confused.
When I don’t see the next step.

At this point it is always good to work out the exact steps to take.
Where do I want to go? This is my big goal.

Then I have quarterly goals, which are the season I’m in. The quarterly goals are good to see — they only have 12 weeks. In order to get there I trace back the steps that need to happen to make this work.

It is really helpful to know those exact steps, and this brings clarity out of chaos.
It even helps to give a sense of urgency as well. You know then what to do and when to do it.

This is my powerful way to gain clarity.
It does require that you know your goal.

Therefore we go back to the question: Where do you want to go?

For most people I work with, this is a monetary milestone. Reaching the next 10k/100k or reaching the point to quit the job.

Where do you want to reach that point? Then it is a matter of sequence: What needs to happen so that this will become true?

Are there any milestones between here and there?
How many clients do you need?
How many units do you need to sell?

These are your stepping stones to success.

Take the next step today!

You got this!

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    Greetings Reader, Over the weekend I had a few chats with a friend on the effects of AI. We will be in for a ride. Sure the opportunities are endless.

The development is just so much faster than I anticipated. I’ve been in this space now since the launch of GPT 3,5. And it’s been a wild ride. I can promise…

  • The Three Models That Help You Move Fast

    Greetings Reader, Last night I spoke with a lot of Founders at a local event. There is one pattern that kept coming up. I’m planning this. I’m waiting on this. I haven’t gotten the feedback yet. All those statements are holding your business back. They will lock and keep you stuck, because you gave the power to act away. Over the past years I’ve tried to study the greed and there are three models that help you move fast. Urgency is the mover. Urgency means to just close the gap between…

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…
