Most business planning workshops start with vision statements and call quotas. But Bill argues there's a critical block missing from that equation: personal development. In this solo episode, he breaks down Block 8 from his 2026 Business Planning Strategy—the piece that asks not just what you need to do, but who you need to become to achieve your goals sustainably.
Bill covers four essential areas: AI literacy and staying current, personal branding and findability, digital marketing fundamentals, and systems thinking. But the real question driving this episode is deeper: Who do you need to become in 2026 to execute your plan without grinding yourself into the ground?
If you're planning for 2026, this episode challenges you to think beyond behaviors and quotas to the spiritual and personal dimension of sustainable success.
