Have you ever gotten to the end of a year and felt discouraged by your progress in the previous 12 months? We understand that life can get in the way. Maybe you procrastinate, lack motivation, or just don’t have someone to keep you accountable.
We recently read through the book The 12 Week Year by Brian P. Moran and Michael Lennington, and were so motivated by it that we just had to start up a 12-week accountability group on the Guitar Fam site called Guitar Fam Growth Groups. More on that later.
If you haven’t read the book yet, the audiobook version is free on KZbin. Here is the link for you.

The idea behind the book is to achieve your goals faster by using 12-week periods to focus on hitting your target instead of full years. That smaller time frame helps you create a greater sense of urgency and focus through a solid plan, consistent action, and accountability.
With that in mind, here are our 6 favorite takeaways from The 12 Week Year.
#1 - 12-Week Cycles
#2 - Accountability
#3 - Weekly Planning
#4 - Discipline
#5 - Flexibility
#6 - Focus on the Now
By following the principles in The 12 Week Year, the book encourages us that we can make more progress in 12 weeks than most people do in a year. Imagine making measurable progress at the end of 12 weeks on the musical goal that is most important to you. AND imagine making lifelong friendships with people who share your passion for music and will cheer you on and keep you on track.
We want to make it easy for you to implement these principles, see progress and make meaningful connections. That’s why we are starting the 12-week Guitar Fam Growth Groups.
Starting Saturday, June 1st at 10 AM Pacific, we will meet over Zoom at the same time each week for 12 weeks. Each person will pick 1 or 2 goals to focus on for those 12 weeks and have an opportunity to check in with their successes and struggles.
If you are a Guitar Fam premium member this is already included in your membership at no extra cost. All you have to do is show up in the Zoom meeting. If you are not a premium member, you can join with a monthly or annual membership.
This is a great way to set some goals and hold yourself to them for 12 weeks. Let’s avoid spinning our wheels on the same guitar struggles again next year.
So if you want to join us, follow these 3 Steps:
Sign up for a premium monthly or annual Guitar Fam account.
Grab the Zoom link from the member’s area.
Show up on June 1st.
Get your premium account today and we’ll see you on June 1st.
See you there,
Nate & Chelsea
