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). I never really knew the answer because what I did came naturally to me. But once I became a business strategist over a decade ago, clients wanted to know how and why I thought a strategy would work for them. It took a while, but I finally figured out how to break down my thought process – including what I see most people doing wrong and how to change it with one simple shift.   Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 02:05 - How a strategist’s mind thinks 07:53 - Bad goals come from a lack of vision  12:12 - Why your strategy should inform your goals  19:19 - Case Study: My “Summer” Plan  32:11 - Use the Strategy Pyramid to create your plan   To get the rest of the steps in the Strategy Pyramid, as well as exercises to help you achieve your biggest goals (while having the time of your life!), grab your FREE copy of the H

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.
