First 30 days: establish the baseline
Clarify target roles, inventory your evidence, organise your applications, and identify the largest information gaps. Build a routine you can sustain.
Next 30 days: run focused experiments
Test positioning, strengthen one priority skill, and seek conversations that challenge your assumptions.
- Track leading actions and meaningful outcomes
- Keep experiments small enough to compare
- Protect time for reflection
Final 30 days: decide what scales
Review which roles respond, which stories resonate, and where energy is producing progress. Continue the effective loops and retire the rest.
