How to Reach Your One-Year Goal in 90 Days

It’s my mission to help as many entrepreneurs reach their one-year goal in 90-days as possible. I’ve always had the awareness that time is currency and we must spend it well to have the peace in life we desire and the goals met that we’ve set.

Let me give you the framework that it takes to make this happen.

Step One: Make the Decision

Decide what you want and know why you’re choosing it.  It starts with getting very clear on the goal.  Something like “I will serve 250 clients in 2021 through the course I’ve built” or “I will have (3) consistent $10,000 monthly sales months, earning $30,000 each quarter” or “I will post 52 blogs this year”.  

It’s one thing to set a goal, but take time to define WHY you want to achieve that goal.  That becomes the driver for achieving it.  

My WHY in this example is time, time is precious and we only have so much of it.  It’s important to me to use my time wisely and share with others how to do this too so you can stop running in circles and actually achieve something great.

Step Two: Get Focused

Create a clear plan for action.  Now that you’re clear on what you want and why you want it, now it’s time to build out the plan.  

In this strategy, we run in 12-weekly sprints to achieve this.  Start by breaking down each week by listing out the numbers 1-12.  Write down the 12 tasks that will be accomplished during this time, then prioritize them in order of first to last.  

Can you see how easy this is when you chunk it down this way?  It becomes simple to do, which gives you energy to reach it.  

Let’s use the $10,000 monthly production here as the example.  This shows you that it takes you selling $2,500 every week for the entire month. Now ask yourself “what’s it going to take to make that happen?”, let’s say that’s selling (2) $1,500 services, that’s less than securing 2 sales each week.  

Now it feels attainable.  Leverage the compound effect and you’ll reach your $30,000 sales goal in 90-days. 

Step Three: Get Support

Implement tools and build systems for performance.  Now that you’ve got a solid plan it’s time to add tools and support.  

Using the above sales example, what do you need to sell $2,500 each week?  What tools and support are necessary?  

You may need to work with a coach or mentor who knows how to achieve this so you can learn and implement the strategy which removes the tension around how, so you can just do.  

Removing as much mental friction as possible is important.  Working with an expert does that. 

Step Four: Hold Yourself Accountable

Adopt a clear strategy that holds you to your actions and removes the overwhelm.  

This can be as easy as joining a community or group on Facebook of like-minded people who are also trying to reach a similar goal or outcome.  

You may need to schedule in a weekly call with an accountability partner to share your progress or challenges with and track your daily actions to see what’s producing the results to get you to the goal.  

I always say “writing it down, kicks stress out of town."  It helps to put pen to paper and see it in writing, it’s kind of like therapy for business. 

Step Five: Create a Safety Net

Reflect and build habits to catch mistakes before they become bad habits in your business.  I don’t think people understand how important this is.

It’s as easy as implementing a sage follow-up plan in your business to ensure nothing slips through the cracks.  Just imagine if you took 20 minutes every Friday to reflect back on what you did that week.  Simply stopping and reflecting will show you if you’re off-course or tracking toward your goal?  

When you build this safety net, it allows you to stop doing something that either got you off track or is keeping you from moving forward.  

Don’t over think this one, just carve out time to review your weekly actions.  Ask yourself, “did my actions this week get me closer to my goal?” If not, tweak, pivot or change that action and keep moving forward. 

I trust you gained value in this framework. Now I challenge you to start implementing it, even if you adopt just one of these five steps, you’ll start getting closer to where you’re choosing to go.

Time matters and I’d like to see you maximize it so you can have what you want.
