Why Best Year Yet® is Different

Most planning tools focus on what to do. The Best Year Yet® planning system helps you understand what’s in your way and how to move past it.

Typically, people don’t fail because they lack motivation. They fail because they’ve never clearly identified and addressed what’s in their way.

45 Years of transformation, now in your hands.

Best Year Yet® began in 1980 as a performance system used by coaches, executives, and organizations to improve clarity, focus, and results.

Over time, one insight became clear:

People don’t struggle because they lack goals.
They struggle because they haven’t identified what’s in their way.

Best Year Yet® was built to solve that problem.

Today, the same proven system is available directly to individuals. The simple, guided digital experience and year-long support will help you achieve meaningful results in the areas that matter most to you.

The Best Year Yet® Effect

Best Year Yet® helps you identify and address the gap between where you are and where you want to be — and gives you a clear, structured way to close it.

This is how people get results they once thought were out of reach.

The process, in two questions

This is how your Best Year Yet® starts

Before anything else, we ask you to feel the gap — that space between the year you want and the year you'll have if nothing changes. Everything in the methodology flows from that.

Imagine this.

How would you feel if you finally had clarity about what you want this year?

Choose the word that feels right

Now be honest.

How will you feel at year end if nothing changes?

Be honest — which one?
