A short coaching/presentation excerpt describing a strategic planning method called 'reverse engineering the year' and the idea of creating a 'preloaded year' by placing business and revenue goals into a 2026 calendar with concrete actions during a strategic planning day. The speaker credits Dale Beaumont and Business Blueprint for the concept.
Step four is reverse engineering the year. Once you know the goals and this is what we do, we plug them into the calendar with the actions we need to take to fulfill these goals. So, say, for example, we have business goals, certain revenue goals. Everything gets a place in the calendar. You got to ask yourself, and be honest, what do I need to do? What do I need to commit myself to doing in order to reach these goals? This is something that is called a preloaded year. I learned this from my buddy Dale Beaumont from Business Blueprint. And basically, by the end of our strategic plan day, all of 2026, the whole calendar of 2026 is completed. We know exactly what we're doing. It's all planned out.
