The 100-Day Sprint: How THIS Goal-Setting Hack Gets Me Better Results Than Annual Plans

The Jordan P. Anderson Show

September 20, 2024.

102 days left in the year. Time for a different approach to goal-setting.

* 🎯 Ditch the guessing game of annual planning

* 🏃‍♂️ Embrace the power of 2-week sprints

* 💪 Focus on projects, not vague “million dollar goals”

* 🧠 Leverage your average day for consistent wins

* 🚀 Make the next 100 days count

Why Your Annual “Goals” Aren't Cutting It

Setting a goal to make $100,000 this year or land 10 clients sounds great.

But how?

You end up playing a guessing game, trying to reverse-engineer your way to success.

It's a recipe for stress and disappointment.

The 2-Week Sprint

Here's what's working for me and Doran at Nice Slice Studio:

1. Set realistic, push-yourself-a-little project lists for 2 weeks

2. You’ll end up achieving 80-90% of what you set out to do

3. Review, adjust, and plan the next sprint

No more endless to-do lists. No more vague yearly goals. Just focused, achievable projects that compound over time.

Imagine knocking out 20-25 big projects in a year…

That's the power of consistent 2-week sprints.

You'll look back and say, "Holy shit, I achieved a lot this year."

What I’m working on now: Your 100-Day Game Plan

We've got 100 days left in 2024.

I’m putting together a 100 Day Goal Setting Workshop for next week on CreatorU

Here's how to make them count:

1. Break it down into three 1-month sprints

2. Define 3 big achievements for each sprint

3. Create your "average day" template

4. Review past mistakes and develop contingency plans

I hope you have an "Average Day"…

Forget striving for perfect days.

Define your ideal average day:

- Wake-up time

- Content creation goals

- Client interactions

- Email targets

Make your average day consistently great, and watch your success compound.

Things will go wrong. Expect it.

The holiday season is coming.

Family visits, parties, travel.

How will you stay on track?

Build contingencies into your plan. Know your typical traps and bad habits. Have a backup plan for when life inevitably throws curveballs.

Your Next Move

1. Map out your next 100 days

2. Break it into three 1-month sprints

3. Define your ideal "average day"

4. Join our workshop next week to refine your plan (details coming soon)

Remember, while everyone's waiting for January to kickstart their goals, we've got a 100-day head start.

Let's make them count.

Cheers,

Jordan Anderson
