Session 27: Goal Setting and Execution - Turning Plans Into Progress

Why Goal Setting and Execution Matter
A goal without execution is just a wish. And execution without clear goals often leads to wasted energy. Successful entrepreneurs know how to set specific, measurable goals - and then break them into actionable steps that are consistently tracked and followed. Goals bring clarity, and execution brings accountability.


A Real-World Picture
John Doerr, venture capitalist and author of Measure What Matters, introduced the OKR (Objectives and Key Results) framework to companies like Google. That system of clear goal-setting and disciplined execution helped Google grow from a small search engine into one of the largest companies in the world. Their secret wasn’t just brilliant engineers - it was relentless focus on clear goals.


Humor Break
Setting vague goals is like saying, “I want to get in shape” while sitting on the couch eating chips. Execution is the gym membership - and actually showing up.


Action Step for You
This week, write down one big business goal. Then break it into three smaller action steps you can take in the next month. Put those steps in your calendar and hold yourself accountable.
