Ever wondered what the success formula is for top entrepreneurs? In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Steve Krein discuss the “25-Year Transformation” and how it can benefit entrepreneurs by helping them prioritize their biggest goals and measure progress every quarter. They explain how having a quarterly rhythm can be transformational, and provide insights into how to achieve long-term goals, adapt to advancements in technology and crises in the marketplace, and maintain a transformational mindset.

Highlights:

• Measuring your past progress and planning out the next quarter, every quarter, helps simplify and multiply your efforts.
• This kind of self-accountability and measurement allows for compounding results.
• Growth entrepreneurs must have a quarterly reflection to achieve their goals.
• Entrepreneurs who treat every quarter in business as a 90-day period of progress, recalibrating and staying committed to their goals, are much more likely to weather market disruptions (such as a global pandemic) and will fare better in the long run.
• Quarterly review and recalibration are essential for achieving not only professional goals, but personal ones as well, and help you build meaningful relationships.
• Your social circle can either support or obstruct your goals. Curate it regularly.
• Avoid making major decisions on Friday afternoons. Everything feels much bigger and scarier when you’re tired from the week, whereas you have a fresh perspective and more energy at the start of the week.
• To reach your quarterly goals, you must commit to weekly improvements.
