Definitely a very interesting article Esther! I've got 10 years of experience using The 12 Week Year. One piece you didn't account for is the weekly accountability meetings (WAM) with a group of peers. That is a critical piece that has helped me stay on track all these years even when things shifted in my business. I've got two other men and a woman in that weekly meeting and we've seen pivots and shifts for all of us. Trying to do it solo will burn anyone out. So, if someone decides they want to go with the 12 Week Year, they need to get into a WAM group to see the best results.
Thank you, Chad - that’s a great addition to the discussion. I focused mainly on the planning methodology itself, but the accountability built into WAMs is definitely a key piece of the puzzle. Thanks for adding that perspective!
