90-Day Goals
Our people must learn to devote themselves to doing what is good,
in order that they may provide for daily necessities
and not live unproductive lives.
TITUS 3:14
Feeling stuck in your business plans? We always advise business owners to Think-Execute-Account, every 90 days, even if the next 90 days holds a pandemic and political disruptions. Think-Execute-Account can also help when we’re trying to generate social change.
But here's what we find — most of us do only one or two of the three steps well. Few of us put all three in motion in a timely, coordinated way. It's putting all three to work that allows us to re-wire.
Think.
Don't just lunge at the problem. Imagine. Deliberate. Reflect. Examine. Apply logic. Strategize. Plan. Set goals. Then...
Execute.
Perform. Accomplish. Make it happen. Achieve. Carry out. Follow through. Then...
Account.
Evaluate. Analyze. Assess. Examine. Question. Review. And do it all 90 days at a time.
Some people love to think about it. Some like to do it without thinking about it. And some want only to imagine the results without doing what it takes to get there. When we do all three, look out.
We don’t know exactly how the future will roll out, but we can ask God to show us how to be productive one day at a time, seven days at a time, 30 days at a time, 90 days at a time.
What are your objectives in the next 90 days? What discipline do you need to hone—think, execute or account?
