It is my pleasure to share the The video for my OKR training course. I also added The Scaling Founder's OKR Manual and the presentation that goes along with the training. Setting OKRs is one of the things that founders consistently get wrong. Why? Because they don't connect to an emotional WHY. In other words, they have no soul. This is why OKRs need to be written with Soul and Precision. If you get this right, you will see the difference in how people embrace goals. I am about to drop a new Vivid Vision recorded exercise that should be used in connection to all my trainings. Have a great day! Cruz

I'm absolutely PUMPED to announce our new Constraint Discovery Office Hours starting Thursday, Oct 9TH! Every Thursday at 12 PM ET | 90 Minutes of Pure Value This isn't your typical "listen and leave" webinar. This is where we roll up our sleeves and solve REAL problems together. Here's what's happening: ✅ Interactive constraint discovery sessions ✅ Strategic founder networking (real connections, not small talk) ✅ Live problem-solving with your actual business challenges ✅ Breakthrough insights that move the needle REQUIREMENTS: You MUST be a 7-figure founder (or close) You MUST take the constraint assessment before joining: constraint.ascendgrowthventures.com Why? Because we're not here to waste time on surface-level stuff. We're diving deep into what's ACTUALLY holding your business back. I've seen too many brilliant founders spinning their wheels on the wrong problems. This is where we fix that. Kick off will be on Thursday, Oct 9th. 12 PM ET. Be there. Who's ready to stop being the constraint in their own business? Drop a 🚀 below if you're in! Let's build something incredible together. Cruz P.S. - Camera ON, sleeves rolled up, ready to work. This is for serious founders who want serious results.

We are 39 strong now, we grew 26 just on the month of September alone, and the month is not really over. My vision for this community is that very shortly we will start having weekly office hours to answer your scaling questions. Just came back from an amazing mindset and spiritual shifting trip to Antigua, Guatemala. I am more clear than ever on what we are building here on Ascend Growth ventures, and the reality is that it is not possible without your support. So I wanted to acknowledge that and tell you how excited I am to be building this with you. Life is good. Let's build it! Cruz

Today I wrote an article on LinkedIn about setting OKRs the right way. The back story, I was sitting down with a fellow entrepreneur and friend at the Guatemala City airport. I was in Guatemala doing mindset work with my mastermind coach and peers. That's a whole different story I will write about eventually. We talked about one of his businesses and realized that his business was facing what I have seen in many others: a lack of inspiring OKRs. I have been training teams on OKRs and now realize that I have to go long on spreading the knowledge here, because OKRs are such a powerful tool for running a business. Yet, like everything in life, it's all about the details. If you don't have a clear, bold vision/BHAG that speaks to your team, it's hard to get them excited about OKRs. OKRs run the risk of turning into Corporate Theater. Something people do to get your bosses off your back. If that's what it is for you, that's your sign that you are doing it all wrong. Anyhow, I uploaded my Setting OKRs the right way for founders presentation. Check it out. I will record a video with additional insights on it. For now, you can also check out the article on Linkedin. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-your-okrs-suck-how-fix-them-cruz-gamboa-1gxcf/?trackingId=0OMK33Wpo8t3%2FOmNslQ8sQ%3D%3D Happy Saturday.
