Hi Reader,

Bottom Line Up Front: Clarity + Momentum + Results = Success (and it’s simpler than most people make it).

You’re juggling 17 hats, board members directing from the sidelines, staff burning out, mission stalling — and the overwhelm is winning more days than you’d like to admit.

You want to wake up with breathing room, lead with calm confidence, watch your team thrive, and actually see your mission grow — without more hours or more coffee.

That’s the transformation I’ve seen in over 200 non-profits — and it starts with one question:
​“Am I focusing on the result I’m trying to achieve?”

One leader I coached reclaimed 10 hours a week after applying the recipe — imagine what that kind of breathing room would do for you and your mission.

The 3-Ingredient Recipe for Success (battle-tested on submarines, carriers, and now saving non-profits $330K+)

1. Clarity & Focus​
   Cut the noise. Know exactly what deserves your attention this week.
   Post a Weekly Goals Watchbill with your Top 3 Priorities — life won’t steal your focus anymore.
2. Momentum Through Steps​
   Stack small daily wins with Whitt Steps (5–15 minute bursts of focused action).
   Mornings: attack the hard thing first. Afternoons: bonus mode. Tiny steps + consistency = unstoppable momentum.
3. Results Mindset​
   Every action answers one question: “What result does this produce?”
   Bad outcome? Adjust fire — no whining. Good outcome? Double down.
   Track it weekly with your Results Dashboard — because hope isn’t a strategy.

As a young Seaman on a submarine, I learned ships run smoothly not because everyone was “motivated,” but because we had clear watchbills, daily steps, and an obsession with the result (mission accomplished).
That same recipe — plus raw self-discipline — took me from Seaman to Captain. It’s now helping non-profits save $330K+ while leaders stop juggling and start winning.

Your Simple Daily Process (Start Today)

Practice makes perfect — or as we say in the Navy: fight the way you train.
Here’s how to make this recipe yours:

1. Every morning: Ask “What result am I trying to achieve today?” Write down your Top 3 Priorities.
2. Every day: Do one Whitt Step toward your #1 thing first — 5–15 minutes. Stack the wins.
3. Every week: Review your Results Dashboard on Sunday. Adjust fire. Celebrate progress.

Do this consistently — even imperfectly — and you’ll train yourself to win.
