Do not miss these highlights: 

04:05 Commencing the planning process for the upcoming three years, which include 2024, 2025, and 2026.

05:30 Achieve greater clarity and inner peace and ensure you are fully prepared to start the new year with a well-defined framework for the upcoming 2024. 

06:40 Consider that time holds significant importance for visionaries, entrepreneurs, and problem solvers, even though it may seem counterintuitive to those who tend to be overachievers.  

10:02 Consider a planning process in quarterly increments, balancing the act of forward-thinking with a narrowed focus on the present moment. 

12:45 The strategy for this conversation involves more discussions on how to bridge the gap from the current moment to the end of 2024, encompassing the planning for today and the future.

13:30 One of the actions you can take is to harness your present energy to grant yourself permission to express both your desires and your dislikes. 

15:40 Generating new outcomes, shaped by the choices you make and the behaviors you adopt in that context, will necessitate a transformation in yourself.

18:00 The second element is for you to consider that your thoughts and feelings are what shape the outcomes you achieve.

20:40 Characteristics and traits can manifest as both external and internal qualities, and there's also the version of yourself that you truly aspire to embody in practice. 

22:33 Establish a revenue target and then refine and adjust it further, considering what you aim to earn by the year's end.

26:25 Results Mapping out the results regarding the revenue goal involves determining how you will reach that objective through the offers you intend to sell. 

29:30 Knowing both what you're selling and the number of units you need to sell is essential to determine how you'll market and distribute them.

31:55 Take note of the elements you should schedule in your calendar to provide a clearer outline of what you're selling when you plan to sell it, and potentially, how you intend to sell it. 

33:40 Begin contemplating the gaps in knowledge, tools, or resources that you need to address promptly, not postponing them, as you'll consistently encounter aspects where gaps exist.

36:36 You must streamline your focus, energy, and resources. You will reach your goal more quickly, whether you're dealing with a group of 1,000 people or just two individuals.  

37:50 This becomes crucial when you're considering all these factors. It doesn't necessarily involve making final decisions; instead, it provides you with the room and space to contemplate, and this is the crucial element that has been missing.

41:07 You aim to make more intentional decisions, avoiding haste, as this gift of perspective benefits you.
