The loneliness creeps in, and the self-doubt roars like a hungry lion.

You might even think, "Do I need a business partner to be taken seriously?"

Master Your Goals in 2025: The Power of the 12 Week Year

There’s nothing like the satisfaction of completing a challenging sprint and crossing that finish line with a sense of accomplishment...

You feel that rush of adrenaline, the pride of having met your goal in a short, intense burst of effort. That feeling is the motivation behind the approach I'm diving into today.

Imagine transforming your entire year into a series of these successful sprints, focusing intensely on just a few key goals at a time.

You might be someone who, like me, has a small addiction to buying planners, crafting elaborate year-long plans, only to have them fall by the wayside by February.

I've been there, stuck in a cycle of setting big goals and not reaching them because life happens.

If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed by your to-do list and frustrated by unmet goals, then it's time to change the game.

In this episode, I share a revolutionary strategy designed for people who thrive on short bursts of focus and energy - perfect for those of us with ADHD or anyone who's struggled with traditional planning methods.

By listening to this episode, you’ll discover how to set realistic, impactful goals that you can achieve within 12 weeks - a method that's already changing my life and could change yours too.

Imagine this: you're scrolling through the latest business advice from the top names in the industry, Tim Ferriss and Steven Bartlett, and feeling an overwhelming sense of inadequacy.

You think, "If Tim could do it with four hours a week and Steven could do it living in a crowded New York apartment, why can't I?"

But here's the thing - what you're not seeing is the privilege laid out beneath their stories.

In this episode of The Weeniecast, I'm explaining why following the advice of privileged figures won't necessarily help you build your business.

I'll reveal the hidden layers of privilege these stories don't discuss, and how you might be setting yourself up for failure by trying to mimic their journeys.

Listen in to discover how acknowledging your unique circumstances and challenges can be a game-changer in developing a business strategy that works for you.

Once you understand that you don't need to fit into someone else's mold, you'll unlock the freedom to craft your own authentic path to success.

And that is a feeling worth chasing.
