Session 1 is where we build your 90-day plan. This is where you sharpen the raw material first.
Four movements. Around fifteen minutes. At the end, this builds your personal brief, the document we will sit down and work from together.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Nothing you write leaves this page until you choose to copy or print it. Be honest. Honesty is the whole point.
Not the polished version. The real ones. Name up to three goals you want to have moved in the next ninety days. Specific beats impressive.
Make it concrete enough that we'd both know if you hit it. "Launch the side business" beats "work on my business."
The goal is the what. This is the fuel. When it gets hard in week six, this is the line I'll read back to you.
Add your first goal and why it matters to continue.
This is the movement most people want to skip. Don't. The space between what you want and what you've actually done is exactly what the next three months are built to close.
Just the facts. Real actions taken, not intentions or research rabbit holes. This is often a shorter list than people expect, and that's useful.
Not the convenient answer ("time," "money"). The real one underneath it. Fear it won't work? Fear it will? No one keeping you to it? Name it.
Answer all three to continue. The honesty here is what makes Session 1 land.
A 90-day goal is just the sum of what you repeat. Let's look at the rhythms underneath it: the ones to build, and the ones quietly working against you.
If you could only keep one new weekly rhythm for the next ninety days, what would do the heaviest lifting?
The one that steals the time, the energy, or the focus the goal needs. We don't just add good habits. We name the ones to starve.
Across your life generally: when you decide to do something, how reliably does it actually happen?
Name your keystone habit, the pattern working against you, and your consistency score.
Accountability is a muscle, and the first rep happens now. Two short answers and your brief is ready.
Small and real beats big and vague. One email sent, one number checked, one conversation had. We start the way we mean to continue: moving.
Paint the finish line. What's different in your life, in concrete terms, if Iron Sharpens Iron does exactly what you hoped?
Answer both questions and add your name to generate your brief.
Save this, screenshot it, or print it, and have it with you for Session 1. John will build your 90-Day Goal Map directly from it.
Copied. Paste it somewhere safe and bring it to Session 1.
One last thing: do the step you named in Movement IV before we talk. That's your first rep, and it's the whole game.
