How to Apply The 12 Week Year
Achieve more in twelve weeks than most people manage in twelve months
About This Book
Most people already know what they need to do to succeed, so why do so few of them actually do it? Brian Moran and Michael Lennington, consultants who spent over a decade helping individuals and companies execute better, argue the problem is never knowledge, it's execution. Inside, you'll discover why a top sales agent's secret helped nobody who heard it, why a real Olympic training technique from the 1970s can multiply your results, why your brain actively resists the future you want, and why scoring yourself honestly every week, uncomfortable as it feels, is what actually builds confidence. This is a system for closing the gap between the life you live and the one you're capable of.About the Author
Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington are business consultants who, for more than a decade before writing this book, worked directly with individuals, teams and corporations to help them execute their plans and reach their goals. Their approach grew out of thousands of client engagements across industries including sales, financial services and healthcare, where they saw the same pattern again and again: the gap between people's potential and their results came down to execution, not ideas. They adapted periodization, a technique originally developed for Olympic athletic training, into a twelve week system for business and personal performance, taught through workshops, coaching and an online platform.
Biggest Takeaway
Apply this and you'll stop chasing new strategies and start finishing the ones you already have. You'll break your year into a twelve week block with its own real deadline, so urgency doesn't disappear until November. You'll know, week by week, through an honest execution score, whether you're actually on track, before the results even show up. You'll build a written weekly plan and protect blocks of uninterrupted time so your best hours go to your highest value work instead of leaking into email. And you'll trade excuses for ownership, so setbacks become information you act on rather than reasons to stop.
