Determine your goals for Q3 2026 to be more accomplished.
Yesterday we recapped our past 3 months, and I would like to continue in accountability.
Whether you have personal goals or business/career goals, write them down in the comments and after a quarter, we will revisit what we have done. (And what we will push into Q4.) :D
As for me, here is my scope for the upcoming Q3:
Work goals:
๐ Primarily focus on building my LinkedIn plugin that helps prevent people from being banned, so:
mention it at least one post per week on LinkedIn
publish the 1st MVP (non-paid version) in Chrome Store + create visual assets and descriptions
invite 10 active LinkedIn users to test it and get feedback โ I am learning to code thanks to this project
continue to collect testers via waitlist
๐ Publish those 30 Shorts videos on YouTube. :D
Personal goals:
๐ Travel again
๐ Exercise as usual (at least that one hour per day)
๐ Keep learning languages
๐ Attend cultural events during the summer to get to know new people
What are your Q3 goals? :)
Replies
Work:
Close 3 new enterprise clients for Gaper.io forward-deployed AI engineering model
Ship Altstack's first public case study showing real ROI numbers from a healthcare client
Publish 2 long-form pieces on what actually works when building AI agents for non-tech companies (not the fluffy stuff)
Hit consistent weekly posting rhythm on LinkedIn without outsourcing my voice
Personal:
One trip somewhere I've never been
Spend less time consuming content, more time creating it
Taking more breaks since my brain needs rest

@mustafa_najoomย Which is your LinkedIn? I would like to connect with you :)
@busmark_w_nikaย Request sent
Love this accountability idea. Thank you! My Q3:
Work goals:
๐ Launch the first public version of MettaShift โ nervous system support app for neurodivergent minds, and get at least 100 people to try it
๐ Collect feedback from 30 early users and turn it into concrete product improvements
๐ Have 20 conversations with founders, clinicians, and people building in the mental health / wellbeing space to better understand trust, positioning, and distribution
๐ Post on LinkedIn at least 3 times per week about nervous system regulation, trauma-informed design, neurodivergent minds, and mental health tools that work when people cannot think clearly
๐ Build a waitlist/community of at least 300 people interested in MettaShift
๐ Improve onboarding and messaging based on real feedback, not assumptions
Personal goals:
๐ Continue rock climbing regularly
๐ Take at least one real offline reset in natureย
๐ย Move my body at least 5 times per week
๐ Keep supporting my own nervous system, not only talking about regulation professionally
๐ Attend at least 3 cultural or community events this summer
๐ Make more space for depth and creativity, because that is where my best ideas usually come from
So for me, Q3 is about launching, listening, becoming more visible, and staying regulated enough to build from a clear place.

@marie_saxonย How long have you been building MettaShift? It sounds like a very comprehensive project (the topic is very huge). I am a fan of your sports effort :)
@busmark_w_nikaย Thank you, Nika! Weโve been working on MettaShift for about a year now, but most of that time went into the methodology โ turning therapeutic and neuropsychological processes into step-by-step flows.
The app itself is now approved by the App Store, and weโre testing it with our first users next week before opening it more broadly in the coming weeks.
And thank you for the sports encouragement :) I recently started climbing and honestly itโs one of the best hobbies Iโve picked up in years.

@marie_saxonย Have you started promoting it already? :) Now, distribution matters more than ever :)
@busmark_w_nikaย Thank you, Nika! And yes, honestly, distribution is probably the most intimidating part for every founder :)
Weโre actively promoting MettaShift on LinkedIn, building partnerships with relevant communities, and weโve just started working on TikTok as well.
If you have any advice or suggestions, Iโd be genuinely grateful.
Hi, Nika!
My Q3 main goal is to finish garageexit.com's functionality before end of July. Then ship it!
Then focus on distribution, distribution, distribution, which means more time in places like X, Product Hunt, Reddit and so on.
Btw, best of luck with your Linkedin plugin ๐๐ป

@rickcuellaย Start with the distribution now! :) By talking about it, buildinpublic :)
My Q3 goals are the following:
- Implement new design concepts for Vassant's brand-new marketing site
- Connect and resonate with more investors looking to manage their capital more efficiently
- Drive our referral program and receive feedback on more attractive referral rewards
- Publish our spotlight advertisement in the Raincross Gazette
Vassant is around 3 weeks away from our launch. I could not be more excited!

@blakeatvassantย What do you do with investors? Are you going to raise funds?
Love this thread, feels like the right kind of accountability for Q3.
My goal is to make sure AskAny.ai does not become another โlaunched once, forgotten laterโ product.
I have a Product Hunt launch coming up, but Iโm trying not to treat the launch as the strategy. The real goal is 100 manual conversations with people who already use AI at work and still deal with the copy/paste context struggle.
The proof Iโm looking for is not โnice tool.โ
Itโs something like:
โI use this every day to rewrite customer replies inside Zendesk.โ
Or:
โThis speeds up the constant copy/paste/attach workflow from one app to another.โ
If I find a few of those workflows, Q3 is a win. If I donโt, thatโs useful truth too.

@junes_el_hossiniย Will you be relaunching?
Love the accountability format, makes it real. My Q3 is mostly about narrowing focus, because we've been building a lot and need to prove a few things more deeply rather than adding more surface area.
Work side: get 3 more customer case studies documented with actual production metrics, sharpen the mid-market BFSI positioning, and finally get our content engine running consistently instead of in bursts. Personal side: stop letting work eat into the early morning block I set aside for running, it's the one thing that keeps the rest of the week from unraveling.
I like the accountability part here.
I think goals become much more useful when they are tied to clear inputs you can control- posts shipped, users spoken to, testers onboarded, product improvements made. The outcome matters, but the weekly execution system is what actually gets you there.
Q3 goal:
Build and ship my first real product.
Today I stumbled upon Tibo's blog and it gave me the final push to stop overthinking and start building.
My plan is simple:
- find a real problem
- validate it
- build it
- ship it
Let's see where this journey goes, good luck everybody.
personal goals
buy an f10. model doesnt matter 520i or m5. but it has to be f10.
work goals
just success...
Mine isn't really one list, it's three competing lists fighting for the same hours. Work goals: get FounderFlow's confidence grading tight enough that I trust it more than my own morning triage, keep the care home fully staffed through the summer dip before it becomes a fire, and finally hand off the cafe's ordering so it stops eating my Sunday nights. Personal goal, and this one's a little embarrassing: actually let the tool I built do the checking, instead of still manually looking across all three businesses every morning out of old habit.
