In this short coaching talk, the presenter argues that agency owners often set overly broad annual goals that lose relevance as the year progresses. He stresses the critical habit of writing down goals and then breaking them into manageable timeframes: a big-picture annual target, quarterly milestones, and monthly sprints. By focusing the mind on 90‑day horizons and even one‑month bursts of effort, teams can maintain momentum, adapt to changing circumstances, and avoid the drift that typically causes annual goals to fail.

This next process we're going to go through can really change the momentum in your agency. It's super important that we have our goals and our plans written down. Here's where I want to go. But then you have to break it down. Having an annual goal is too big. It's okay, I want to get there eventually. 365 days from now, so many things have changed. So many things have come into our way that we lose track of it. What your mind can orient around is 90 days for sure. It can absolutely orient around a month, right? And we can sprint hard for a month. And so that's what we're gonna do is we're gonna set the big picture goal, but we have to make sure we break it down by quarter and by month.
