Does this sound familiar? You set big goals with the best of intentions, only to find yourself months later wondering why so little has actually moved forward. The truth is, the problem usually isn’t your planning–it’s your execution. That’s where the 12 Week Year framework comes in. By shrinking your focus from twelve months to just twelve weeks, you create urgency, clarity, and momentum that help you actually achieve the things that matter most.

In this encore episode, we share five practical tips to help you master the 12 Week Year and finally close the gap between goals and results. Whether you’ve tried the framework before and struggled, or you’re hearing about it for the first time, these strategies will help you simplify your focus, strengthen your “why,” and put systems in place that make success inevitable.
