Determine your goals for Q3 2026 to be more accomplished.

by•

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:

👉 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 – I am learning to code thanks to this project

  • continue to collect testers via

👉 Publish those 30 Shorts videos on YouTube. :D

Personal goals:

👉 Travel again

👉 Exercise as usual (at least that one hour per day)

👉 Keep learning languages

👉 Attend cultural events during the summer to get to know new people

What are your Q3 goals? :)

Work goal - we're running a 60 day content push to grow a newsletter and I want to actually finish the full run instead of trailing off after the first two exciting weeks, that's usually where these things quietly die for me. Also want to get more disciplined about turning warm engagement (replies, DMs) into actual subscribers instead of just posting and hoping. Personal goal is boring but real - protect at least one fully offline evening a week, no laptop in the room.

 I think that the most difficult one goals is that personal :D

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

 Which is your LinkedIn? I would like to connect with you :)

Love this accountability idea. Thank you! My Q3:


Work goals:
👉 Launch the first public version of MettaShift — nervous system support app for neurodivergent minds, and get at least 100 people to try it
👉 Collect feedback from 30 early users and turn it into concrete product improvements
👉 Have 20 conversations with founders, clinicians, and people building in the mental health / wellbeing space to better understand trust, positioning, and distribution
👉 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
👉 Build a waitlist/community of at least 300 people interested in MettaShift
👉 Improve onboarding and messaging based on real feedback, not assumptions


Personal goals:
👉 Continue rock climbing regularly
👉 Take at least one real offline reset in nature 
👉 Move my body at least 5 times per week
👉 Keep supporting my own nervous system, not only talking about regulation professionally
👉 Attend at least 3 cultural or community events this summer
👉 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.

 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 :)

 Thank you, Nika! We’ve been working on MettaShift for about a year now, but most of that time went into the methodology — turning therapeutic and neuropsychological processes into step-by-step flows.

The app itself is now approved by the App Store, and we’re 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 it’s one of the best hobbies I’ve picked up in years.

 Have you started promoting it already? :) Now, distribution matters more than ever :)

 Thank you, Nika! And yes, honestly, distribution is probably the most intimidating part for every founder :)

We’re actively promoting MettaShift on LinkedIn, building partnerships with relevant communities, and we’ve just started working on TikTok as well.

If you have any advice or suggestions, I’d be genuinely grateful.

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!

 What do you do with investors? Are you going to raise funds?

Hi, Nika!
My Q3 main goal is to finish '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 🙌🏻

 Start with the distribution now! :) By talking about it, buildinpublic :)

Love this thread, feels like the right kind of accountability for Q3.

My goal is to make sure does not become another “launched once, forgotten later” product.

I have a Product Hunt launch coming up, but I’m 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 I’m looking for is not “nice tool.”

It’s something like:

“I use this every day to rewrite customer replies inside Zendesk.”

Or:

“This speeds up the constant copy/paste/attach workflow from one app to another.”

If I find a few of those workflows, Q3 is a win. If I don’t, that’s useful truth too.

 Will you be relaunching?
