Unmute Yourself Podcast: The 12-Week Revolution for Crushing Your Goals and Unleashing Your Power

You know those big goals you have that you keep pushing to the next week?  Or the next month?  Or, who are we kidding – the next year?  The book, the career change, the podcast, starting your side hustle, taking your side hustle to the next level, the new business, the rebranding, your resume – ALL OF IT.  When we think about these big, powerful goals we set for ourselves – overwhelm kicks in and we end up torpedoing our own success.

Not today, Podsters!  Today I’m talking with business strategist and the most organized person I know – Kathleen Lawson who has made a career and successful business out of showing people how to bring their vision to life.  And specifically, how the 12-week year is your secret sauce for leveling up in all areas of your life.

"So, where are we with this?" is a question we all need in our lives, especially when powering through those goals and turning our plans into action.

We dig into the magic of time blocking, not just in your daily grind but in planning your life 12 weeks at a time; scheduling specific tasks within a set timeframe, custom-tailored to your peak energy time frames, and when you’re most likely to actually DO THE THING.

We both love the 12-week year concept and give the side-eye to the traditional annual planning cycle. Kathleen makes a solid case for the practicality of shorter planning periods, throwing the spotlight on the urgency and laser focus these focused, measurable busts of action bring. It's all about adapting to the twists and turns of your own personal life rollercoaster.

Did you know that the key to overcoming procrastination is simple? Kathleen does and she sums it up in one word. CLARITY.

Kathleen also reminds us that strategic planning goes beyond just tasks; it's about identifying dependencies, setting priorities, and recognizing that you're the captain of your ship.

Ready to face obstacles head-on? Kathleen's got the playbook. Plan for potential roadblocks, tackle challenges proactively, and know yourself so you can DO THE THING at work, at home or wherever you wish!

So, if you're up for the challenge of effective goal-setting, mastering time blocking, and crafting a roadmap to success in your personal and professional life, buckle up, Podsters, this one's epic!
