My 2023 Goals. ​
​Plus, Themes for the Year.

Last week, we did a recap of 2022.

Up next, my 2023 goals.

I broke them down by:

1. Professional goals
2. Personal goals
3. Themes for the year

We also recorded a podcast breaking everything down.

Plus, we included some frameworks and systems you can use to actually achieve these.

Professional Goals:

• GrowthHit: $4,000,000
• One Day Design: $1,000,000
• Handsome Chaos: $250,000
• Email Newsletter: 10,000 emails
• Podcast to 1,000 downloads an episode
• Pull off one marketing stunt or be in the headline of a major publication

Personal Goals:

• 4 "epic" family trips
• 1 shared experience with each kid
• 2 date nights per month with the wife
• 150 HITT workouts
• Continue my "dad university" with the girls
• Read 2 books per month

Themes for the Year:

• Think Bigger: Whether you’re building a rocket ship or a bagel store down the street, you’re still working damn hard. So, you might as well go big. The biggest limitation to my own successes are my own constraints. What if GrowthHit, One Day Design, or Handsome Chaos were $1B companies. What would they look like? I am going to try and think bigger in 2023.
• What’s Undervalued vs. Overvalued: What are you not doing or doing little of that's actually undervalued? VS. What are the things you're doing too much of or investing in that are overvalued? In addition to thinking bigger, I need to think different. This is a framework for that.
• Systems are Sexy: If there isn’t a system then it won't work. Build the systems around the actions that lead to my goals. It's not sexy but systems are the way! Actually, let's make systems sexy. That's it.

Good luck with your goal setting.

As usual, here are 3 things that caught my attention this week:

TOGETHER WITH INSIDE.COM​

The New Social Channel of 2023

Are you a founder or marketer that’s looking for the next untapped social channel?

Look no further than Inside.com.

Seriously, they just launched and is already getting insane traffic. It’s the website love child of Reddit and Twitter but for business.

I love it because, unlike other social platforms, it is a social news site and community that cuts through the noise. I can discover content from other founders and it’s a great place to share my own thoughts with professionals. (I am actually starting to g et traffic from it.)

Plus, they host AMAs so you can connect with other likeminded professionals. It’s more than just news - it’s an efficient way to grow your network with impressive business minds.

Last, grab your Inside url before someone else does. (Luckily I got Jimhuffman!) Connect with me and let's chat..
