Episode Summary:

In this episode, hosts Michael Crosa and Elaine Zambos dive into the power of the 90-day sprint—a focused, quarterly approach to goal-setting that ensures you stay productive without feeling overwhelmed. Elaine shares how business coach Rick Powell introduced her to this method when she became the executive director of BNI Southeast Tennessee.

The 90-day sprint focuses on prioritizing tasks over shorter, digestible periods, helping individuals stay motivated and on track. Michael and Elaine emphasize the importance of setting clear start dates and deadlines, planning like you would when building a house. Whether it's business or personal goals, scheduling each step ensures everything flows smoothly. They also stress the importance of seeking help from others, including fellow BNI chapter members, to hit key milestones.
