Admittedly I did not know what BHAG meant and with that being said, I just skipped over it to get to "stuff" I knew.
Going back, it was time to chew rather than bite and wash it down with a swig of beer.
“Transformational is how I would best describe 2019 for VERB,” stated Rory J. Cutaia, VERB CEO. “Our team embraced Jim Collins’ BHAG and ran with it. Here’s what we accomplished in 2019:
BHAG is a concept developed in the book Built to Last. A BHAG (pronounced “Bee Hag,” short for "Big Hairy Audacious Goal"
is a powerful way to stimulate progress. A BHAG is clear and compelling, needing little explanation; people get it right away. Think of the NASA moon mission of the 1960s. The best BHAGs require both building for the long term AND exuding a relentless sense of urgency: What do we need to do today, with monomaniacal focus, and tomorrow, and the next day, to defy the probabilities and ultimately achieve our BHAG?

I can't count how many times I've personally said and written teamVERB / teamFUSZ over this past year not to mention how many times I've seen it and heard it by others and on top of that by Rory.
I knew they were crushing it and when Rory said , "try holding back a team of wild horses all wanting to take off in the same direction", I had a great visual. So, I had a "really good idea" what the metaphor meant.
Now reading about BHAG, it all takes a much more impressive shape!
Read and re-read what this team has done! In one year!
It must be exhausting and exhilaration to be any one of the team members to read what they had done.
If you've done something or been a part of something that you were so focused and so "all in" that you literally lose track of time only to look up 6 months later or a year later to see what you're truly accomplished, it is an overwhelming feeling.
And when you're a part of something like that and "the overall goal" hasn't been reached, but you take a quick look as to not to lose focus or brake stride it is more of an adrenaline rush than anything.
I liken it to overtaking someone in a high speed race, whether it be a car motorcycle whatever. That position you just fought for, gained and more importantly earned gives you a wild rush that sends chills up your spine and makes everything in front of you even more crystal clear as if it wasn't a second ago.
But that is just one event in a long race which is still ahead, we know what Rory is looking to create and what this unbelievable and impressive #teamVERB is mid-stride reaching for; after re-reading I see how all of that were just mere positions that have been overtaken by this team.
#teamVERB has now taken top spot, 1st place and are in the process of building on that lead and running away from the rest of the pack.
2020 will be the year that VERB is be recognized as the leader. And when people begin to realize they are so far ahead of the rest and it will be impossible for anyone to catch up because VERB has created something that no one can reproduce and catch up because of patents they will gain an entire new and massively huge fan base.
Lucky those fans will be able to back this team and become investors!
It will be interesting to look back on and see as the 2020's close, if VERB decides to stand alone, will it end up here

They has shown they have the goods to. And the unrelenting desire to accomplish any BHAG task ahead of them, so no reason to think they won't be on that list or real close to it.
What a great way to begin 2020 and a brand new decade!
Seatbelt fastened!
