Happy New Year’s Business Athlete Nation.

What is the ultimate form of accountability?

Public accountability.

It's shouting your goals from the rooftops—that's what!

Even if nobody is listening, your own mirror is listening, and that's a powerful way to stick to your intentions.

That's exactly what I'm doing in this email: laying out our 2024 map for success and elaborating on the journey we're embarking on in The Lab.

Visionaries can see things other people can't.

We have the responsibility to guide actions towards that invisible future, and we do it for the benefit of our fellow humans.

I know you need BAPL.

You just don’t know it—yet.

Ever heard of the saying, "You don't know what you're missing until it's right in front of you"?

That is BAPL.

It's the gym—the community—you didn't know you needed until you stepped in.

With the world constantly changing, adapting to remote work and distributed teams, we're learning to flex new muscles.

But it's not just about the physical gym anymore.

Think about it.

Social proof is now the new gold standard for measuring experiences. There's this incredible shift from macro to micro-cultures, and communities of like-minded, like-believing people are popping up globally every day.

And guess what?

We're creating our very own tribe right here at BAPL—a home for career-transitioning business leaders and athletes.

It's a new kind of locker room.

A place where you're safe to build, create, and shape your personal brand.

Your experience?

That's your ticket to your next big thing. This is accountability at its finest; a challenge to yourself, by yourself.

Ever found yourself chasing a goal with no one to support or guide you, only to give up midway or even sooner?

That's where we come in.

You're used to structure, a system, a team.

And now, as you stand alone, seeking accountability, you might feel lost, even doubtful.

You might be waiting for that perfect moment, yet feel paralyzed by the fear of starting.

We're here to support you.

We get it.

Starting anew is tough. I am doing it right in front of you.

Your experience is your most valuable asset, and realizing this is the first step towards crafting your Next.

YOU are your next big brand.

But where do you even start?

We're here to guide you, to be your accountability partner—the most dedicated in the world.

As we focus on our community and audience, we're rolling out innovative and tailored solutions to propel you to your Next.

And hey, we're offering a 7-day, no-obligations FREE trial on all our memberships.

Let's make 2024 the year of action, growth, and accountability!

POPA - Power of Public Accountability

To hold myself accountable to our business goals, I want to publicly lay them out for you. While they may seem ambitious, I believe that without ambition, you have already accepted defeat.

When we have ambition, we have permission to try, fail, re-adjust.

To pivot.

And begin again.

What are your business goals this year?
