Today’s Audio MASTERCLASS: The 12-Week Year: How to Accomplish More in 12 Weeks Than Most Do in 12 Months with Brian Moran
[1:10]– Brian shares something interesting about himself that most people do not know.
- He entered a disco dance contest in the early ’80s.
[3:19] – How can annual goals and plans be a barrier to great results?
- There are benefits to having annual goals and plans, however, the annual cycle is a long timeframe.

[6:18] – Brian defines “Diffused”, and shares how you can focus in a “Diffused World”
- The world is more diffused now than ever due to technology.
- “Diffused” is when you’re trying to do something from one place physically, but you’re in a different place mentally.
- Focus on the “less is more” concept until you achieve success.
[10:10] – Brian talks about his belief that execution trumps ideas every day of the week.

[20:59] – Why do most plans fail?
- Traditional plans often fail because the goal for most people is to just create a plan. Annualized planning just creates overwhelm
- Plans should be directional.
- It is difficult to execute a plan if it is too broad, overwhelming, and diffused.
[24:19] – What is the most powerful lead indicator?
- With the 12-Week Year, your overall plan translates into a weekly plan, and you can score your execution weekly.
- If you want to predict your future, look at your daily actions.
