The GOALD 2027 wall calendar, January GOALD on a phone

The Problem Was Never Your Willpower

Every January, millions of people sit down and decide this is the year. And by summer, most of them have quietly let it go. In one study of New Year's resolvers, fewer than half were still at it six months later.*

It isn't because they're weak. It's because the goal they set on January 1 is out of sight by January 15, and they never had a way to turn it into something they do every single day.

So this year, don't just make a resolution. Build a system around it. Put the life you're working toward on your wall where you'll see it every morning. Learn how habits actually work. And track them every day, so you always know where you stand.

* Norcross, Mrykalo and Blagys, Journal of Clinical Psychology 58(4), 2002: 46% still successful at six months.

  • My Game Plan, right up front. Plan your whole year on one page, with dozens of ideas if you need a place to start.
  • Big, clean month grids with room to write.

The Game of Achieving Life Daily

The calendar shows you where you're going. The course shows you how to get there, one habit at a time.

Every video runs about 3 to 5 minutes, so it's easy to digest, understand and put to work. Watch it, check it off, move on. Small wins, stacked. That's how you finish the course, and it's how you'll build every habit after it.

Who's Behind It

Matt Stefanik

I'm Matt Stefanik. I've been self-employed for more than 24 years, building businesses in five industries, from real estate to software. Every one of them was built the same way: small habits, done every day.

I built GOALD to make building them a game you can win every day, and this kit to give you everything you need to make 2027 the year it finally sticks.

Go Together

Bring your spouse, your brother or sister, your best friend or your workout buddy. You hold them to it, and they hold you to it. In a Dominican University study, people who sent a friend a weekly progress report reached their goal or got more than halfway there 76% of the time, compared with 43% of people who kept their goals in their head.*

Go Together

Your partner's gift, wrapped and ready

A course login and an app are hard to put under the tree. So when you Go Together, your thank-you page has a gift card waiting for your partner, with their link already inside. Type two first names, tap Send, and it's on its way.

They get their own login to the course, their own year of GOALD, and a calendar from you.

Questions

When will my calendar arrive?

Every calendar is printed to order and shipped by USPS. Order by December 12 and it arrives before January 1.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes. Ship it to anyone: just enter their address at checkout. The course and app login come to your email, so you can pass them along with the gift.

What if I already use GOALD?

Perfect. Your year of Builder adds on top of the time you already have, so you never lose a day.

Do I have to use the app to use the calendar?

No. The calendar works on its own. The app and the course are what turn the plan on your wall into something you do every day.

How does my partner get theirs?

Both calendars come to you in one box, so you can hand one over (it makes a great Christmas gift). Your partner gets their own login to the course and their own year of GOALD, too. Right after checkout, your thank-you page has a gift card ready to send them with their link already inside (it's in your order email too). They fill in their name and email, and they get their own welcome email with everything they need.

Do you ship outside the US?

Not this season. The 2027 calendar ships to US addresses only.
