Setting ambitious business goals is easy—executing them is where most entrepreneurs struggle. Many female founders start with a vision but quickly become overwhelmed by daily tasks, shifting priorities, and a lack of clear execution strategies. Without the right framework, goals can feel like distant dreams instead of achievable milestones.

At The Women’s Business Momentum Center (WBMC), we believe that goal-setting should be simple, strategic, and sustainable. That’s why we use a 90-day system that breaks big business objectives into manageable action steps—so you can stay focused, track progress, and actually achieve your goals.


Why Most Entrepreneurs Struggle to Execute Their Goals

Many business owners set goals at the start of the year, only to lose momentum within a few months. Why? Because they fall into these common traps:

Setting vague, unrealistic goals – Without clarity and structure, goals feel overwhelming and unattainable.
Lacking an execution plan – Big ideas need a step-by-step strategy to turn them into action.
Getting caught up in daily operations – Without prioritization, long-term goals get pushed aside.
No system for tracking progress – If you’re not measuring your success, you can’t make necessary adjustments.

The solution? A structured, action-driven framework that helps you set, execute, and track your goals without the overwhelm.


The 90-Day Goal-Setting Framework

Instead of setting annual goals that feel impossible to achieve, break them down into 90-day cycles. This method keeps you focused, motivated, and adaptable. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Define Your 90-Day Goal

Choose one major goal that will create the biggest impact in your business. Make sure it’s specific, measurable, and achievable within 90 days. Example:

🚀 Increase monthly revenue by 20% by launching a new group coaching offer.

Step 2: Break It Into Projects

Divide your goal into three clear projects with deliverables and milestones to track progress:

  • Project 1: Develop and finalize your coaching offer, ensuring clarity on pricing, structure, and delivery.
  • Project 2: Create a marketing and sales campaign with compelling messaging, lead generation, and outreach strategies.
  • Project 3: Launch, track results, and refine based on performance metrics and client feedback.

Step 3: Create Weekly Action Steps & Stay Accountable

Each week, review your 90-day plan and your top 3 projects to determine your weekly top 10 agreements—the specific tasks you're committed to completing to move your business forward.

Step 4: Track Progress, Mastermind & Adjust as Needed

Every week, our Momentum Squad Members start the week with a mastermind sessoin to review last week’s Top 10 Agreements, score progress, and brainstorm the next set of Top 10 weekly agreements. This is a powerful way to stay accountable, gain support, and ensure continuous momentum. Use this simple tracking system to reflect on your progress:

✔️ What worked?
✔️ What didn’t?
✔️ What adjustments need to be made?

Adjusting along the way ensures you stay on track without feeling stuck.


Staying Focused & Avoiding Overwhelm

Even with a solid plan, distractions and challenges will arise. Here’s how to stay on track:

Time Block for Success – Set dedicated CEO time to work on your goals.
Eliminate Unnecessary Tasks – Focus on revenue-generating and high-impact actions.
Stay Accountable – Join a mastermind or work with a mentor to keep momentum.
Celebrate Small Wins – Acknowledge progress to stay motivated and inspired.
