Welcome back to episode 13 of the Traffic & Conversions Show! Today is all about an obsession of mine...goal CRUSHING! I’m interviewing the creator of the 90x Goal Planner, ALoN David.ALoN, founder and CEO of 90x, arrived in America without any business leads or connections. He had no university network or promising internships. ALoN didn’t even have a solid business idea. But he did have ambition. He had drive. He had the dream to make something of his life. So while going to school full-time, ALoN decided to get a job working construction for $5.25 per hour. Yet he knew that just getting a degree wasn’t enough, so instead of waking up each day complaining of his situation,  he decided he needed to set a goal to keep him focused on his dreams. The only problem was that there weren’t any quality goal-planners or systems out there. So ALoN decided to create his own system that could take a minimum-wage job and turn it into an opportunity.Inspired to further test his goal-system, ALoN decided in 2010 to start a photography business from scratch. Within a year, the photography business became a 6-figure side-gig and that was when ALoN knew that his 90x goal-system was something special. Looking to help others effectively set and achieve goals, ALoN put together the first 90x goal-planner. Now, if you’ve ever shopped around for a planner, you know that there are to-do planners, there are planners to help you schedule, there are planners that act more like diaries, but 90x is the first planner to incorporate all of the essential goal-setting elements into one complete system.Please tell me you’ve heard of 90x?! It’s what all the cool kids are using to achieve their dreams and change their lives. Today’s episode is all about how to effectively use goal setting to grow your business!“What is my intention today toward my goal?...” At minute 1:25, ALoN explains what the purpose of the 90x Goal Planner is and we’re talking all things planning, setting goals and taking action.“I knew what I wanted and I just went after it...” At 6:25, ALoN shares his story and the journey that brought him to creating 90x. I was so inspired when I heard his story and I’m so glad he is sharing it with you!“I’m working from the vision, not to the vision...” At minute 14:10, ALoN is sharing his strategies including what he’s doing to crush goals. Plus, we’re talking about how to find our why, set momentum and set our vision and actions to commit to for 90 days. ALoN helps us understand how to set your vision, find our goal, get a deeper why and how to start with small actions every day.“Anything until today is in your past...” At 27:15, ALoN shares how he overcomes being in a comfort zone, having fears and false beliFREE LIVE TRAINING: How To Get More Customers & Revenue In A Predictable Way (without throwing money away on ads!)Ready to Scale Without the Tech Overwhelm?
