Don't plan annual goals -> plan for the next 12 weeks

Most people don't do well planning for annual goals. By focusing on just 1-3 strategic goals for the next 12 weeks you'll move closer to your long-term vision than you will by planning annually. Check out Megan's 12-week Goal Setting Session, a 1-hour session that results in clear goals, an amazing action plan (with checklists 😆), and a plan to avoid roadblocks.
