$6K Worth of Business Consulting in 3 Minutes

Hey founders,

What if you could distill $6,000 worth of high-level business consulting into a 3-minute read?

That’s exactly what we’re doing this week. Trenton (Tribe founder) recently hired a business consultant—someone who charges $2,000 for 3 hours and has helped Fortune 500 companies achieve massive growth.

Here’s everything they shared—so you don’t have to pay the fee.

Let’s dive in!

Set Goals That Actually Work

Not all goals are created equal. Here’s how to set ones that drive results:

• Tie every goal back to your company vision. If a goal doesn’t align with your vision, toss it.

• Stick to 4 main goals MAX. Focus creates clarity. Clarity creates progress.

• Set realistic goals. Ambitious is good. Attainable is better. Studies show companies with realistic goals grow faster than those chasing the impossible.

Goals are your roadmap. They should guide every single action and decision.

To Do: Review your current goals today. Are they clear, focused, and connected to your vision? If not, refine them.

Accountability is Non-Negotiable

Accountability starts at the top. Strong leadership creates strong teams, and strong teams deliver results.

Here’s what great accountability looks like:

• Department heads take full ownership—no blaming down the chain.

• No excuses for missed goals. Own it, learn, and move forward.

• Missing goals 3 months in a row? It’s time for a serious conversation—or even letting someone go.

Accountability isn’t about being harsh—it’s about creating a culture of ownership and responsibility.

To Do: Start holding monthly reviews with department heads to track progress, address obstacles, and reinforce accountability.

Build a Culture of Respect and Efficiency

Your company’s culture drives performance. Here’s what this consultant had to say about creating one that works:

• Time is sacred. Being late to meetings isn’t just unprofessional—it’s disrespectful to everyone in the room.

• Commit to monthly reviews. Dedicate 3 hours per month to reviewing goals, tracking progress, and planning initiatives.

• Continuous improvement. Each department should always have 3 initiatives they’re working on to get better.

A culture of respect and continuous improvement keeps your team aligned and moving forward.

To do: Schedule a recurring monthly “alignment” meeting. Use this time to review progress and plan for what’s next.

Take the Lessons, Build the Results

We believe in sharing what works—because we grow together.

Here are your takeaways this week:

1. Set clear, focused, and vision-aligned goals.

2. Build accountability into every level of leadership.

3. Respect time, commit to improvement, and align your team regularly.

Challenge: Pick one lesson from this list and implement it this week. Small changes lead to massive results.

Consultants charge thousands for this advice. But at Tribe, we believe great business lessons should be accessible to everyone.

Have a great week!
