In this episode of Databox‘s Metrics and Chill Podcast, Brandon Powell, CEO and Founder of HatchWorks, shares how implementing a new goal-setting process called “Making Big Happen” led his team to their best quarter ever. Learn the steps to identify your Highly Outrageous Targets (HOTs) and how focusing on leading activities can bring a feeling of control, focus, and predictable performance to your company.

Listen to the podcast

Key Takeaways:

  • Traditional goal-setting frameworks can prove unhelpful and may leave teams feeling discouraged when they miss certain goals.
  • “Making Big Happen” focuses on hitting a few critical goals and spending the rest of the quarter relentlessly focused on leading activities that move the needle on those goals.
  • The process involves picking 3 HOTs (Highly Outrageous Targets), determining the critical leading activities to achieve these goals, breaking down the activities into smaller parts, and measuring results at the end of the quarter.
  • Implementing this framework can lead to improved revenue, increased control, and more predictable performance.
  • Continuously calibrating and refining the leading activities can help drive growth and achieve desired outcomes.

In a recent interview with Sarah Tourville on the Taking Flight: The Entrepreneurs Journey Podcast, Brandon Powell, CEO of Hatchworks, shared his journey as a lifelong learner and entrepreneur.

Listen to the podcast

Over the past six years, Brandon has learned more than he ever thought possible. He attributes his success to two key decisions:

  • First, he chose not to have a co-founder and despite the initial challenges, he now realizes it was the right choice.
  • Second, he secured his first 1-3 customers before quitting his corporate job, ensuring he had a steady source of income for his business.

Brandon cites his mother as his biggest support system. Growing up as a single child, his mother instilled a strong work ethic and the drive to earn what he wanted.

Brandon is grateful for the support he receives from his Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) Atlanta Forum, stating that 90% of being an entrepreneur is about mindset, work-life balance, and stability.

When asked about his favorite book, Brandon says “Making Big Happen” by Mark Moses.
