Are your business goals just wishful thinking? If you're tired of setting targets with frameworks like SMART goals and falling short, this episode is your wake-up call. Serial entrepreneur Tanner Haas, who has founded four companies and sold two, joins Harmonious at Lunch to tear down conventional goal-setting advice he calls "fluff."

Tanner argues that success isn't about writing down a long list of goals; it's about extreme focus. He shares Warren Buffett's method of identifying your top 25 priorities and then eliminating 22 of them. This conversation provides a concrete system for turning massive, vague goals like "hit $5 million in revenue" into a daily, manageable checklist that drives real results. Learn why execution is the only metric that matters and how to build a simple, effective process to hold yourself accountable and accomplish what you set out to do.
