For years, people asked me my secret to achieving really big, hard-to-reach goals (like becoming an entertainment lawyer, a BigLaw partner and practice group leader, or making Nashville's 40 Under 40).

For years, I followed the same tried-and-true goal-setting method that most of us were taught—annual planning followed by quarterly planning. But five years ago, a friend told me about a different approach. I tried it, and I've been hooked ever since. I even use it with my mastermind and business strategy clients. It's actually much easier than quarterly planning and leads to better results. Don't believe me? I'm sharing a few of my 2025 personal and business goals, along with results, to demonstrate the before and after. It's wild! Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 02:12 - Why I stopped...
