Anchored, Not Chaotic

Craving fast results is human—but it can quietly wreck your strategy. We break down how slow, steady execution anchored to three clear goals will beat chaotic hustle every single time. Instead of spinning plates, we share the exact guardrails we use to protect focus, measure progress, and make better decisions when new tactics and “can’t-miss” opportunities appear.

We start by naming the problem: immediate gratification and shiny object chasing. Then we rebuild around a simple 90-day plan that actually survives past week two. You’ll hear how we choose three quarterly goals, translate them into weekly tasks, and use one alignment question to filter new ideas. If a tactic pushes a goal forward, it gets scheduled with intent; if not, it gets parked. That single rule cuts noise, reduces overwhelm, and creates proof you can track.

A real example brings it home. We turned down a speaking invite that didn’t match our target audience and used the insight to plan a better move: a March summit focused on therapists, the niche we want to grow. Saying no felt risky; aligning felt right. The payoff is sharper positioning, cleaner metrics, and momentum that compounds. If you’ve been half doing everything and fully finishing nothing, this is your reset: pick three goals, lock your weekly priorities, and follow through.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs focus, and leave a quick review with your three goals for the quarter—we’d love to cheer you on.

Many of us have the habit of wanting to have immediate gratification. This is especially true when it comes to our businesses. We want to quickly see results. We want to know that the time that we're putting into something is going to provide us with a greater outcome of revenue in the end. But the truth is, is that slow and steady, anchored in where you are trying to go, is going to make a bigger impact on your business than chaotic squirrel chasing of the brightest object possible at that time will ever be able to give you. That sort of effort of doing chasing those shiny objects is chaotic in what you are doing. And it's this constant feeling of hustling and overwhelm and just spinning so many plates because you don't have an anchored direction that you are trying to go. You're not steady and slow in where you are looking to hit. This is why I have put so much emphasis on your 90-day plan. And I'm talking, continuing to talk about your 90-day plan because a 90-day plan is often deserted second week in January, which is of course what we're in. Because we can think that, oh, we have this great plan I'll put out, and then, well, I got to put out this fire and I put out this fire and I put out that fire and I got to do this fire and oh wait, there's a shiny object there of a new trend that I need to try. We get distracted by things. You need to go back to your plan. What were your three goals? What were the tasks that you put in place? If you're putting in place a new task that you hadn't written down, is it because it's in line with that goal? That is the only reason you should be doing a different task that wasn't part of your 90-day plan. And maybe it's another strategy that you've decided that you can add. I'll be honest, I have done this. I had three goals for my first 90 days. And week one, I came up with an entirely new task that I hadn't thought of. And it's so smart. And why I never thought of it, I have no idea. But it was okay to add that because it was online. I told you last week that someone had reached out to me about doing the summit and I turned it down. Where normally I love to speak. I think speaking is great. And they were business owners, but they weren't niche specific. They weren't the audience that I was really wanting to pay attention to in my first 90 days of January. And I went back to my word of the year anchor and making sure that I kept a steady pace at where I was trying to go and stayed steadfast to my three goals and turned it down. But that summit invitation gave me an idea for why I wasn't running a summit and specifically for the audience that I want to get in front of. So you'll be seeing that I will be hosting a summit in March for therapists. And it is going to be focused on therapists because that is the audience that I am looking to grow in the next 90 days. So I want you to start to think about how you can make sure that the decisions you are making are steadfast and are in line with the goals that you are trying to make rather than trying to chaotically hustle and add things to your plate that do not need to be there because they are not part of your goals. That's not the three things that you are looking to expand upon or to improve upon. So start making sure that when you are trying to make decisions in your business of what tasks you're completing each week and prioritizing, that they are in line with those three goals. Because I'm telling you, when you stay anchored to where you are trying to go, you are going to see bigger and better results and provable strategies that you can see that they are making an impact in what you can improve upon because you focused on those tasks specifically without trying to add something else where you are kind of half assing everything else because you're trying to do too many things. So stay with those tasks, stay with those goals. And I'm telling you, you will see the results.
