AI Read 9 Years of My Journals—Here's the 12-Month Plan It Gave Me

Based on everything you’ve written since 2016, here’s what a 12-month structured plan could look like to align your calling, income, brand, health, and family leadership—without burning out or bouncing around.

⚖️ PHILOSOPHY

Theme: “Faithful with little → Ruler over much.”
You already have the clarity, the platform, and the experience. This plan is about ruthless focus on what matters and disciplined iteration—treating your mission like a calling and a business, not a side project.

🧭 1. IDENTITY & MESSAGE (Weeks 1–2)

Goal: Cement your personal brand as Christian Leadership for Men in Business.

Deliverables:

• A 1-liner that defines your brand (e.g. “I help Christian entrepreneurs grow from $1M to $12M through operational and spiritual leadership.”)

• 3 content pillars:

  1. Spiritual leadership (e.g., calling, Biblical truth)

  2. Operational excellence (e.g., systems, delegation, $10K problems)

  3. Masculine strength (e.g., health, marriage, discipline)

🎥 2. CONTENT SYSTEM (Weeks 3–6)

Goal: Use daily publishing to drive authority and lead generation, not just dopamine.

Weekly rhythm:

• 1 Longform Video (YT / Podcast)

  • Interview, teaching, or breakdown

• 5+ Shorts (IG, YT Shorts, TikTok if desired)

• 2-3 Clips pulled from longform

• 1 Written blog/email based on the longform topic

Back-End Systems:

• Hire/retain editor (even $100/mo to start)

• Use repurposing tools (e.g. Opus, Repurpose.io)

• Google Sheet or Notion dashboard to track clips, titles, results

💰 3. OFFER & MONETIZATION (Weeks 6–10)

Goal: Make your first $2K–$10K/month from the brand within 90 days

Offer Stack:

• Free Lead Magnet: "12 Leadership Mistakes That Stall $1M–$6M Businesses" (PDF + landing page)

• Core Offer (one of these):

  1. $497 course: From Operator to Leader: 30-Day Framework

  2. $2,500 group cohort: 6-week Leadership Systems Accelerator

  3. $10K–$25K advisory: 1-on-1 Growth + Leadership Coaching

Start with one and iterate. Use sales calls, DMs, or email to close.

⛪ 4. COMMUNITY & MENTORSHIP (Months 3–6)

Goal: Surround yourself with aligned men who fuel, not dilute, your mission

Key Moves:

• Join or build a Christian men’s mastermind

• Attend 1–2 in-person events with content creators or Christian founders

• Start a local meetup for Christian entrepreneurs (low lift, high impact—even 3 guys showing up monthly gives traction)

🧠 5. SCHOOL & THEOLOGY INTEGRATION (Ongoing)

Goal: Merge Biblical depth with your business acumen

• Finish your SEU program with a content mindset: every course is 3 content ideas

• Continue studying under Heiser, BibleProject, etc., but turn notes into teachings

• Start a sub-series: “What This Verse Teaches Us About Leadership”

🧍‍♂️6. BODY & DISCIPLINE (Non-Negotiable, Start Week 1)

Goal: Be the man your message requires

• Stick to your 1,800–2,000 cal/day until target weight

• 5x/week movement: 3 lift days + 2 run or ruck days

• Weekly check-in photo and log

• Train toward one “trophy” feat (e.g., 10 strict pull-ups, Murph, sub-24:00 5K)

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 7. FAMILY LEADERSHIP (Ongoing)

Goal: Live what you teach at home

• Weekly rhythm: family dinner + prayer, 1-on-1 time with each kid

• Monthly check-in with wife: review finances, calendars, intimacy, dreams

• Quarterly family content trip: pick a location, film, bond, create

🔄 MONTHLY REVIEW

Goal: Adjust the plan—don’t quit the mission

At end of each month, answer:

• What worked?

• What didn’t?

• What will I do differently next month?
