Episode notes
Build Forcing Mechanisms
- Create forcing mechanisms: public calendar entries, third-party payments, coaches, or penalties to guarantee follow-through.
- If there's no forcing mechanism, you're not serious about the goal.
Categorize Goals Clearly
- Categorize goals into personal, family, growth/marketing, and strategic initiatives.
- Map each category onto your calendar and test whether the systems' math supports the targets.
Fill Gaps With Vetted Talent
- Delegate or hire multiple vetted experts to fill skill gaps instead of stalling for knowledge.
- Vet vendors by asking for references and proven RIA results before paying.
