.@DavidNebinski recently hosted me for an OKR workshop, and did something subtle that had a profound effect on the conversation.

During our setup, he noticed a book on my bookshelf and asked about it. We began discussing books we'd been reading...

Do platforms like Etsy, Shopify, or Airbnb primarily serve buyers or sellers?

For businesses that facilitate transactions or connect multiple parties, deciding on a primary customer presents a critical challenge...

One Covoy member has this goal: 350+ days of philosophical study and reflection in 2024.

Here's how they can transform it to be an identity change.

My most important goals for the week (of Jan 29th) are:

1. 📅 Email Covoy subscribers about upcoming cohorts
2. 📣 Have 3 Covoy partnership meetings
3. 🎯 Have 3 OKR sales meetings

Would it be helpful for you to share your goals too? If so, post them below!

This week I tried to grow my businesses while preparing to go to Guadeloupe.

So, how did I do?

1. 🤔 Setup a community space for Covoy's 2nd cohort
2. ✅ Reach out to 10+ startup CEOs for OKR coaching
3. ✅ Pack for our trip to Guadeloupe

Heading out for a run with the exercise lover at the helm (rather than the reluctant runner) feels way more exhilarating.

@ndwignall Thank you!! A lot of procrastination articles focus on behavioral tactics rather than dealing with the emotional causes. Really appreciated your analysis and advice.

[Evan Hammer @evanhammer]

As someone with a tendency to procrastinate, I loved @ndwignall's "4 Simple Steps to Stop Procrastinating".

"Behind every struggle with procrastination is a difficult emotion handled poorly."

Exciting news! We just kicked off our first 20-person cohort!

They set big goals, wrote action plans, and found an inspiring community. Now they have a team to ensure they reach those goals.

@taywall @steviemctweets Hey @steviemctweets! I run a bunch of weekly accountability groups -- let's chat!

[Alex Lieberman @businessbarista]

Most people f*ck up New Year’s resolutions.

And it’s because they don’t understand how goals work.

Goals are a combo of direction & discipline and few people know how to get both right.

Direction without discipline = running in place
Discipline without direction = running aimlessly
Discipline + direction = running to a destination

To make sure I actually hit my 2024 goals, I’m doing this awesome program called Covoy that a buddy (@evanhammer) started.

It combines goal-setting with group accountability to make sure I actually have a chance of crushing my crazy goals.

Check the link below if you want to join me…

[Alex Lieberman @businessbarista]

I'm trying to understand what stops people from setting & achieving their goals.

In work, life, and relationships.

If you have 30 seconds, plz fill out this survey that will help me answer this question & potentially build a killer product.

Had a great time talking with
@victoriaguido about OKRs and goal-setting!!

[Giant Robots Podcast @GiantRobots]

Check out the new convo about the importance and challenges of goal setting! 🏆

OKR Coach @evanhammer highlights how identifying and articulating real problems can be transformative, turning abstract desires for growth into concrete plans for improvement. https://t.co/WSXKeEsZnm

[Evan Hammer @evanhammer]

@businessbarista Glad you had such a profound experience! It's amazing how human beings respond to being around other human beings.

[Evan Hammer @evanhammer]
