In this New Year's episode of Escaping the Drift, host John Gafford shares his foolproof system for setting objectives and creating an actionable plan to achieve them. John explains that most resolutions fail because people lack a clear vision and strategy.

He walks listeners through his exact process - starting with writing a compelling vision statement for the future using the present tense. Next is crafting a mission statement to define purpose and value. John then stresses the importance of setting objectives that are specific and measurable.

The bulk of the episode focuses on selecting three strategies that can independently hit objectives, and reverse engineering them to create definitive action steps. John emphasizes tracking progress and letting data drive decisions. He also advises taking calculated risks to stay excited.

Through real estate and weight loss examples, John demonstrates how to quantify strategies, schedule tactics, and ensure plans become a reality. For anyone seeking to escape drift and start achieving their dreams, this episode provides an invaluable blueprint for success.

Highlights:

"Monotony becomes the enemy of enthusiasm. Repetition becomes the enemy of enthusiasm."

"I'm never married to my business plan. I'm honest with myself. The truth lies in the math."

"As long as you are constantly measuring and have your finger on the pulse of what your business is, you'll be able to catch that next wave."
