.@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.

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.

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.

I'm trying to understand what stops people from setting & achieving their goals.
In work, life, and relationships.

I just discovered @readwise Reader and I'm having one of those giddy "I can't believe this is real" moments. Sometimes technology is just the best.
I've created several OKR workshops for engineering leaders! Right now @platohq is taking a poll to see which ones to promote this Spring. Can you check them out and upvote mine? Thanks! #okrs academy.platohq.com/ideas?id…
Excited to share that I'm launching an interview series on OKRs, goals, and strategy!
My first guest is @RachelAubrey, former CPO at Seedling. We spoke about creating the first augmented-reality teddy bear!

Thanks @smachadolopes! It was great to see mentor madness from the other side (and way easier)!
Shoutout to all our Wednesday afternoon mentors! @evanhammer @nhlhomer @JonZanoff @Bhavnasmusings Stephen Roland from @stripe and Salas Saraiya from @EmployeeCycle
Just did Saba Karim's branding workshop (gum.co/onfleet). It was super inspiring! First time I'm actually excited to build an audience because he showed how it could be a fun and authentic experience. Thanks @sabakarimm!
