    The 12 Week Year (Part 1)

    Part 1: Understanding The 12 Week Year Episode Focus: Introduction to the “12 Week Year” strategy—and why most New Year’s goals fail. Overview of the annualized mindset vs. the 12-week approach. The three foundational principles: Accountability, Commitment, Greatness in the Moment. Laying the groundwork for quarterly goal achievement. Main Talking Points: Why most people lose momentum after January, and how shorter cycles maintain urgency. The definition of a “12 Week Year” and how it changes your approach to planning. The core principles behind the success of this framework. How accountability is about personal ownership—not blame or punishment. Commitment as a daily habit, not just good intentions. Making every moment count—acting today vs. waiting for “inspiration.” Action Steps: Start visualizing your goals in a 12-week window. Ask yourself: What would I change if I only had 12 weeks to make this happen? Identify the mindset shifts that unlock momentum and consistency. Teaser for Part 2: Next episode: We’ll dig in on the five disciplines of execution and map out your first real 12-week plan.
