Hey friend,

Why do we stop when we are 90% done with a task? Everyone does it. Do you know why?

Some Thoughts

Someone said; “Stop calling meetings so you can simply organise your own thoughts with witnesses”. This is funny because it’s true. We have ALL been in those meetings. Clearly seeing that the organiser has not taken the time to think before calling you all in to discuss things. Don’t lead your own team in this way. Take the time on your own before you use the time of others.

What you will learn this week:

☀️ Why a 60 day sprint works so well

🌍 Exactly how to make your goals happen

🍄 The daily non-negotiables for success

There are 60 Days Left to Win the Year. Time for One More Big Goal.

I woke up this morning with a realization that hit me like a cold shower: we have just 60 days left in the year.

Sixty days.

This is my last chance to turn 2024 into something extraordinary.

And yours too.

You know that goal you’ve been pushing to the back of your mind? The one that makes your heart race a little faster when you think about it? It’s time to drag it into the light.

I’ve spent years chasing goals, both hitting and missing them, and I’ve learned something crucial: the difference between a good year and a great year often comes down to one defining achievement. One bold move. One commitment that changes everything.

Right now, we’re standing in that sweet spot of urgency and possibility.

Sixty days is an interesting number – it’s long enough to accomplish something significant but short enough to sustain an all-out sprint.

It’s the perfect window for one last push toward something meaningful.

Think about it.

What’s the one thing you could achieve in the next two months that would make you look back at 2024 with pride?

Perhaps it’s finally launching that side business you’ve been planning in your head.

Perhaps it’s completing that piece of writing that’s been sitting in your drafts folder.

Postscript

I re-discovered Reddit. The project management community seems pretty vibrant. And it's given me the space to answer questions in much more depth. Conversation and engagement on Reddit seems better than on LinkedIn. Which do you prefer? Check out this post which went viral.

Until next time,
