How to Set Goals When Pre-OKRs (Template)
Ask any serial founder who has built companies from the ground up about OKRs and they will share a story of trying to implement them too soon and failing.
OKRs are excellent in theory for helping you get clear on your vision, strategy, and goals, but are too heavy-weight for early-stage teams.
What’s the alternative? A simplified goal-setting process that gives you 80% of the benefit of OKRs with 20% of the structure and implementation effort.
This template will teach you how to set up this simplified goal-setting process. It includes:
A Google sheet with sample data that explains how to use this simple goal-setting process
A tab with an in-depth explanation on how this system works
Links to a slideshow that further breaks down this process if you need more info to get started
Building a company is about discipline. Oftentimes, this requires knowing the right process to implement at each stage of your company.
We’re excited to help you get started with a simple but high-impact goal-setting tool. If you need more info, don’t hesitate to reach out to nathan@sharpened.co

“I’ve closed 7 figure deals, built multiple companies from the ground up, and run large teams. However, I’ve always struggled to find a simple goal-setting tool that works well through the early stages of company building (seed - Series B). That was until I found this process with Nathan.”
