Michael Hyatt is a former literary agent and then CEO of a book publishing company. He’s now a full time author, speaker, blogger, and podcaster. Michael’s latest book is entitled, Your Best Year Ever. So, you know, when we opened up the rolodex to find someone to talk to about planning your best year ever — well, Michael sort of jumped out.
After a great interview, we asked Michael for a definitive piece of advice, ‘what’s that one thing you would want to leave our listeners with related to the idea of having your best year yet?’
Michael’s response: Don’t enter 2018 without a plan.
This response sent Brett into a bit of a tailspin… Nick! It’s January! How can we put out a show about making a plan when it’s already too late?! We should have put this episode out back in December. Given our listeners a few weeks at least. Now we are basically just telling them – Hey, here’s how to make 2018 your best year ever, but guess what, for you, it’s too late.
Set aside a bit of time and give the latest episode of Where There’s Smoke a listen. You’ll hear Nick’s amazing skills at talking Brett off of a plan-making-cliff. But mostly, we hope you’ll gain a few new skills around setting goals and knowing how to tackle them, whether you start your year on January 1st or July 27th.
Formerly the chairman and CEO of Thomas Nelson Publishers, Michael is also a bestselling author, and successful entrepreneur. In fact, his business was recently named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies after experiencing 330 percent growth in just three years. But his favorite wins are at home. He’s been married to his wife, Gail, for thirty-nine years and they’re more in love now than ever. They have five grown daughters, eight grandchildren, and an exceptional dog named Winston.
