What happens at a 90 day planning event?

If you’ve ever thought of attending a 90-day planning event, you might be thinking “what the hell happens at these planning events?”

So we put together a list of all the questions that we get about our 90-day planning events and answered them for you.

And there’s no better place to start than:

Why is it so important to have a 90-day plan?

There’s something that makes most people happy. But it’s not always cash. After all, we’ve all heard the stories of the billionaire that’s depressed.

So what does make us happy?

Progress certainly contributes towards our happiness.

And goals give us something to progress towards.

Think about when you’ve been at your lowest, it’s usually because things aren’t going forwards. If anything, things are going backward when you are a little down in the dumps.

Goals give us direction, they literally grab us by the shoulders and turn us to face the direction in which we will move. As long as you then walk towards that goal and take action, sooner or later you’ll get there.

The progress that comes from moving towards goals can make us happy and give us a sense of achievement.

That’s why it’s so important to have a 90-day plan. It gives you a goal and direction.

The blueprint

Here’s a great one-liner to summarise feelings of pain, frustration, or depression.

“Pain comes from having a blueprint of what life should look like, and it’s not going like that.”

Think about it, you are frustrated because you’re late for a meeting and you pride yourself on being on time. That frustration comes from your blueprint (of always being on time) and you not being able to nail the blueprint.

And on a bigger scale, when a relationship ends, the person who didn’t want it to end is often in a great deal of pain.

Why?

Their blueprint of the future has been destroyed.

There are two things that you can do when things don’t align with the blueprint.

Create a new blueprint

Get the blueprint back on track

That’s exactly what 90-day planning is all about.

Setting a 90-day goal is like creating a blueprint for your business over the next 90 days.

What if I don’t have a goal or plan?

If you don’t know where you’re going, where are you likely to be 5 years from now?

In about the same place you are now.

You can work really hard, and still end up in the same place years later.

How does that happen?

Because of a lack of direction.

Successful people do things with the intention of goal achieving and of going somewhere, unsuccessful people do things with the intention of tension relieving.

What happens when I hit my goals?

When you’ve hit your goals, the least important thing is what you’ll have. The most important thing is what you’ve become.

Once you’ve hit them, what do you do next? The same thing that happens when you finish a meal, you get hungry again and eat another meal. So you simply set another goal.

The astronauts that famously landed on the moon in 1969 came back to earth, shook the president’s hand, and had a ticker tape parade. Then what happened? Several reports of depression and alcohol abuse.

Why?

Because as the bible says “men (and women) with no vision perish.”

They didn’t have another goal to move on towards.

In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to daily acts of trivia.

And when it’s all said and done, clarity is power.
