New Year, Same Hustle: The Sequel

Cue the dramatic soundtrack—we're back for another season of entrepreneurship! January’s got that fresh-start energy, but instead of vague resolutions, we’re scripting SMART goals. The kind that are less "win an Oscar" and more "finish the screenplay by March."

We’ll walk through how to set goals that actually work: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Not sexy, but effective (kind of like that underdog indie film that wins big at Sundance).

Quick Scene Checklist:

• Zoom out: What’s your 3-year vision?

• Zoom in: What does success this quarter look like?

• Cast wisely: Who on your team plays a key role?

• Plot twist prep: What obstacles might show up uninvited?
