    Introducing Step-by-Step Strategy for Achieving ANY Income Goal in 2026 | Justin & Tara Williams from Millionaire University. Follow the show: Millionaire University #785 Want a dead-simple way to stop spinning your wheels and know exactly what to do next in your business — starting today? In this episode, hosts Justin and Tara Williams share a simple but powerful roadmap to remove the overwhelm that stops most entrepreneurs: GPS — Goals, Plan, Systems. They argue that a successful business is really just a well-prioritized, consistently executed to-do list — and GPS is how you decide what actually belongs on that list. You’ll learn how to set both big-picture goals (your lifestyle vision) and SMART goals (specific, measurable targets), then reverse-engineer your income goal into monthly, weekly, and daily action items (using a power-washing example to make it practical). Finally, they break down the systems that turn intention into execution — tracking/scorecards, calendaring, routines, accountability, and personal effectiveness — so you can stay focused, adapt fast, and keep moving forward without getting distracted by noise! What we discuss with Justin & Tara: + GPS roadmap overview + Goals, Plan, Systems explained + Big-picture vs SMART goals + Reverse engineering income goals + Breaking goals into targets + Daily to-do list execution + Power washing business example + Tracking with scorecards/KPIs + Calendaring and time blocking + Accountability and habit systems Thank you, Justin & Tara!
