12 Week Year: Book Breakdown

Let's Get Started!

CEOs, I’ve always been a reader. As a young girl, we’d get dropped off to the library daily in the summer( I now know that my mom just needed a break ) and be there literally ALL day. Each summer either my sister or I’d win, the most read books. As an adult, I always had a book in my purse, and even for short trips to the store etc. I’d pull out my book to read. It was my nature. But now, as a busy entrepreneur-I don’t have as much time as I used to-to read. If I can get 1-2 books read in a month-I count that as as win.

I have been wanting to start some sort of book reading with you all for a while. Giving my video breakdowns on socials was a start-but let’s go deeper. Because I don’t have a ton of time, I am reading with a specific purpose AND I recommend to you with a specific purpose.

Most of the books that I suggest to you have are intentional and have lessons that will

• broaden your thinking of what is possible

• encourage you through the stories of other entrepreneurs

• go directly into sharing specific strategies ( I love these type of books )

So, at this point, I want to break some of them down, get you to read, then discuss them with you. I am determining exactly how we will do this as we go.

We are kicking this off with the 12 Week Year. This book was impactful to me for these reasons:

• I get SUPER annoyed when I’m working with a client and they push off projects to years and years away. I have since learned

• Shortening the time between learning and launching has been key to my business. This books goes into this deeply ( early in the book-chapter 2 ) and I think this is something that most entrepreneurs need to learn and adapt

• I liked how the book got you to focus on increasing your urgency to get projects done. If I have 1 hour to do something-it can take me one hour. If I give myself all day to do something-it will definitely take all day.

• I like to segment projects and to do’s. This book helps me with organizing that.

• Multi-tasking is a GREAT skill of most women. However, it is a skill that actually dilutes our power sometimes. We need more focused time on tasks and projects instead of doing everything all at once.

I want you to start your reading now.

YOUR Assignment/GOAL: Read or Re-Read Chapters 1-3, then, let’s discuss.
