Show Notes

We've had so many amazing conversations with people over the years, so we've decided to go into our archive and bring back some of our favorite podcasts for you. In this Freedom Fast Lane replay, we learn from coach and advisor Todd Herman about structuring your productivity calendar and goals in ways that deliver you better results, in a faster and saner way.

Todd won't deny the importance of a long-term vision for success. But achieving that vision through long-term goals is the wrong way to go about it. We need to stop chasing goals with year-long, five-year-long, or ten-year-long deadlines, and we should instead break down our quest into 90 day sprints.

Why 90 days?

It's short enough to feel tangible and doable, while long enough to achieve a serious goal. You also take advantage of positive neurological feedback loops by bringing the rush of success from achieving your goals more quickly, giving you the drive to ramp up your business faster than ever.

How can you get started?

You pick one particular, high-impact skill or goal that, if you focused on honing right now, would deliver the best performance results. That's your target for the next 90 days.

These can be outcome goals (e.g. losing X pounds in 90 days), performance goals (e.g. doubling Facebook followers in 90 days), or process goals (determining who will do what, when, and where, to enhance business clarity and momentum).

Don't let long-term goals drag down your long-term vision. Break things down into 90 day sprints, and you'll see results sooner.

Key takeaways:

• Long-term vision is important, but long-term goals are inefficient at achieving that vision
• Pick your most high-impact skill or goal, and focus on that for 90 days
• These can be outcome goals, performance goals, or process goals.
