Show Notes

M.A.T.A. is the acronym we use to set meaningful year-long goals and achieve them. It stands for Meaningful, Actionable, Time-Constrained, and Accountable.

Start With Be is a concept we discuss in great detail during our second podcast episode. It comes up again as we discuss setting Meaningful goals that can be distilled down to a single word and then used in a “Be-statement.”

13-Hour Offsite is a retreat format we developed as a way to take a digital detox and check-in quarterly (or every 13 weeks) with ourselves. Learn how it works and how to host your own 13-Hour Offsite in our blog post here: 13-Hour Offsite: How to Decide What To Do With Your Life 13 Weeks at a Time.

We built a worksheet you can use to follow the M.A.T.A. framework. Click here to download the FREE M.A.T.A. worksheet!
