BONUS EPISODE! Whisky Webinar - June 2022 - '90 Days For The Rest Of Your Life' We're back and breaking script for a moment. It's the beginning of a new financial year here in Australia. Many business owners and founders are looking to the year ahead and wondering what's in store for their business (and lives).  It's sometimes hard to plan when so much uncertainty is around you. Thinking about just the day at hand can sometimes be too much. But one things for sure; if you can give yourself some breathing room to think big picture and pair it with a plan, your chances of success quintuple. ​​So in this episode, we’re going deep into the psychology and strategy of creating a 90 day sales sprint that will become the quarter in business you forever look back on as ‘the 90 days that changed that I thought I was capable of’. ​Together, we’ll cover: ✅ Setting a goal that legitimately lights you up, instead of goals you feel like the world expects you to set. ​​✅ Overcoming the hurdles, roadblocks and mental fears that stand in between you and your sprint goal (we call these dragons, and it’s time to get slaying). ​​✅ How to decide upon the 20% of lead measures that will help you hit 80% of your sprint goal at the end of the day. Thank you, Mr. Pareto! ​​✅ The key to setting celebrations and rewards that will keep you driven and motivated from within. This, believe it or not, is the most important step. 😉 ​​​🔥 Walk away with Outbound’s own 90 Day Sprint Planner to help you map out your next quarter with a clear and simple roadmap for success. ​​Sip on a whisky, wine, choccy milk or whatever helps you dig in, have ‘aha moments’ and dig underneath the surface for the gold that can’t be found anywhere else. Enjoy, Steve & Darcy

In this episode we deep dive into the topics of our latest book (The Arcade Effect) due to be released Q3 this year! Each chapter represents a 'level' and builds upon the next. It's how we've designed The Outbound Game and any growth model we teach. Level 1: Life has a game like quality to it and those who want to level up do. Level 2: Love it two, search for the blank space only you can find. Level 3: When work becomes play and play becomes work. Level 4: Focus on what you can control, not on what you can't. Level 5: Thinking leads to more thinking. Doing leads to more doing. We will be covering off on the final 4 levels on the next episode. Enjoy your Easter!
