Big goals don't create results — consistent execution does. In our annual goal setting episode, Darren and Christina share how they personally plan their year using a framework that blends EOS-style 90-day planning, daily habit systems, anti-goals, and weekly scorecards.

You'll learn why annual goals alone don't drive behavior, how to break big goals into manageable checkpoints, and how small daily actions compound into massive progress over time. The conversation also covers why perfection isn't required, how to recover quickly when you fall off track, and how to keep momentum going without burnout.

This episode is designed to help you move from motivation to control — and build a year that actually reflects your priorities.

Let's make 2026 your biggest and most successful year yet!
