Achieve More: Mastering Quarterly Goals with EOS Strategies in 2026

In this insightful episode, Helen continues her series on setting impactful goals, guiding listeners through a structured approach to planning for the year ahead. Building on the foundation laid in part one, this episode focuses on breaking down annual goals into manageable, actionable steps, using the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) framework. Helen emphasizes the importance of quarterly planning and regular reviews to ensure progress and accountability.


Key Takeaways:


  • Quarterly Planning: Helen advocates for dividing the year into 90-day sprints, which helps maintain focus and allows for more achievable goal setting. This method ensures that progress is consistent and manageable.
  • Identifying Key Objectives (Rocks): Inspired by the EOS system, Helen explains how to identify your most important goals, or "rocks," that will drive your business or personal growth. These are the big objectives that should be prioritized above all else.
  • Reverse Engineering Goals: To effectively plan your actions, Helen suggests reverse engineering your goals. Start with the desired outcome and work backward to determine the specific steps needed to achieve it.
  • Accountability Strategies: Helen highlights the value of accountability, whether through regular team meetings or an accountability buddy. These practices ensure that goals remain a priority and that progress is monitored consistently.
  • Weekly Check-ins: Regular weekly meetings are crucial for reviewing progress on your goals. These meetings help keep everyone on track and provide an opportunity to address any obstacles.
  • Practical Examples: Helen shares real examples from her business, illustrating how to set sales targets, refine client onboarding processes, and implement necessary tools like CRM systems to streamline operations.


Listener Challenge:

Helen encourages listeners to implement a quarterly planning process and set their key "rocks" for the next 90 days. She challenges them to reverse engineer their goals and establish accountability practices that will keep them on track.
