Here’s the flow chart and process guide.

This 90-day accelerator process detailed in my book Close the Gap is designed to help solopreneurs achieve a significant objective that aligns with their ideal lifestyle—faster and more easily. What follows is a step-by-step breakdown of the three phases of the process, along with the key actions within each.

Phase 1: Clarify Your Direction

To start, you’ll define the destination you’re optimizing for. This ensures every step of the process aligns with your desired outcome.

1. Define Your Ideal Lifestyle:

• Describe the lifestyle you want your business to fund and fit around.  

• Focus on your values, priorities, and vision for fulfillment.  

2. Audit Your Hard Assets:

• Take inventory of tangible resources such as skills, relationships, and financial assets.  

3. Audit Your Soft Assets:  

• Reflect on how you’re spending your time, attention, and effort. Identify areas to recapture and reallocate.

Outcome: A clear understanding of where you’re starting from and the lifestyle you’re aiming to achieve.

Phase 2: Craft Your Path

In this phase, you’ll design an actionable and sustainable plan to achieve your 90-day objective.

1. Define a 90-Day Objective: 

• Select one focused, measurable priority that will make the most significant impact on your business and lifestyle.  

2. Identify 3 Essential Components:

• Determine the two or three most critical things that must go right for you to succeed.  

3. Optimize for Intentional Action:

• Develop a reliable, repeatable success system to execute small, meaningful steps consistently.

Outcome: A strategic plan with clear priorities to move toward your desired outcome with confidence and efficiency.

Phase 3: Collapse Time to Target

This is where you accelerate your progress by addressing constraints and optimizing your approach.

1. Identify Your Most Immediate Constraint:

• Pinpoint the single most pressing challenge or obstacle preventing progress.  

2. Engage the Field:  

•  Apply small, intentional steps to test assumptions, gather feedback, and refine your approach.  

3. C.A.S.E. (Collect, Analyze, Strategize, Execute): 

•  Regularly optimize your systems by using this four-step framework to refine what’s working and eliminate what’s not.

Outcome: Meaningful progress toward your 90-day objective, with refined systems and clarity for the next steps.

Feedback Loops: Evaluate and Adjust

Once the 90-day process is complete, revisit the following questions to assess and refine your approach:  

• Did you achieve your 90-day objective?  

• Does your ideal lifestyle need to be revised based on what you learned during this cycle?  

• What insights can you carry forward into the next 90 days?  

If the objective is achieved: Reassess your ideal lifestyle and define a new 90-day objective to further align with your long-term vision.  

If the objective is not achieved: Reevaluate your most immediate constraint, refine your strategies, and begin a new cycle.

The Process is the Shortcut

This process is designed to ensure intentional action, accelerate progress, and foster continuous learning. Each cycle brings you closer to a business that funds and fits your ideal lifestyle—on your terms.  

Remember: Progress is a journey, not a destination. The process itself is the shortcut to the life and business you desire.
