MEET HOWARD

"I don't build hype; I build habits that ship results." —Howard L. White, Jr.

I'm a business builder and the author of Think Smarter & Scale More with AI. I created the 91-Day Year®—a sprint-based execution system that helps teams accomplish more in thirteen focused weeks than most achieve in an entire year. I lead Business Growth Dynamics and the AI-SGA: Super Growth Academy at AIsmallbizAcademy.com, where leaders earn their Black Belt in AI and install the operating rhythms that fuel real scale.

My work bridges the gap between strategy and execution by combining the 91-Day Year® framework with my Five AI Implementables—your Analytical Ally, Brainstorming Buddy, Creative Colleague, Productivity Partner, and Thinking Team—powered by ROCC-based prompts. I transform fragmented operations into clean, aligned, high-output workflows that save time, accelerate execution, and significantly increase revenue.

My mission is simple: I give leaders the mindset, skillsets, and toolsets to stop being operators and start being visionaries in their own companies.

The SMARTER Not Harder Framework

Five Pillars to Install Sustainable, AI-Powered Execution

High-performing teams don't scale by accident—they scale because they're built on a foundation that makes winning the default, not the exception. The SMARTER Not Harder Framework is that foundation. It transforms how leaders think, work, decide, and operate by installing the disciplines and AI-powered systems that create clarity, eliminate friction, and sustain momentum. When these five pillars are in place, your team becomes faster, sharper, and more aligned—every single week.

SMARTER Framework Diagram

1. MINDSET — Think Smarter

Your beliefs drive your behaviors. We install a growth mindset that embraces AI as a force multiplier, not a threat.

2. WILLSET — Work Smarter

Mindset without discipline is just motivation. Willset is about commitment to the cadence—showing up for the 2×4 Weekly rhythm even when it's hard.

3. SKILLSET — Lead Smarter

You can't execute what you don't know how to do. We build the skills to use AI effectively and lead AI-powered teams.

4. TOOLSET — LIVE Smarter

The right tools, properly integrated, multiply your team's impact. We don't add more tools—we make your existing tools talk to each other and add AI where it matters.

5. RESET — Sustain Smarter

Burnout kills momentum. Reset isn't about taking a vacation—it's about building recovery into your rhythm so you can sustain performance.

AI-Super Growth Academy

"Systems scale people—AI just makes those systems faster, clearer, and kinder to your calendar." —Howard L. White, Jr.

Replace chaos with a weekly operating rhythm so you reclaim time, see real-time progress on a single KPI scorecard, and ship revenue-driving campaigns every week. You'll walk out with a 91-day plan, ROCC-ready prompts, and dashboards that make decisions obvious. Offered in a bootcamp or 1-day sprint format.

AI Super Growth Academy

What you'll master (Five AI Implementables™ skillset):

  • Analytical Ally — Make better decisions with practical dashboards & KPI rhythms.
  • Brainstorming Buddy — Endless ideas on demand; hooks, angles, and options.

  • Productivity Partner — SOPs, checklists, cadences; from chaos → clarity.
  • Thinking Team — Strategy sessions that compare paths and pick the right one.

Activated with ROCC-based prompts (Roles, Objectives, Context & Constraints) and delivered through the Black Belt AI Training and AI-SGA: AI-Super Growth Academy.

The 91-Day Year®

"Thirteen disciplined weeks can out-produce a distracted year." —Howard L. White, Jr.

The 91-Day Year® is a simple, fast-moving system that helps teams get more done in thirteen focused weeks than they typically achieve in a full year. Turn your vision into a small set of measurable goals, monthly milestones, weekly priorities, and clear daily actions. Everyone knows what matters. Everyone knows what to do. Progress becomes visible, momentum builds, and results compound. It's execution made simple—and it works.

91-Day Year Framework

Framework Components

  • Purpose — Clarify why you exist and the specific change you commit to create in the next 13 weeks. Output: a one-sentence Purpose + success definition.
  • Dynamic Growth Vision (DGV) — Paint a vivid, near-term picture of "what great looks like" 13 weeks from now. Define 3–5 success conditions and guardrails (constraints/assumptions).
  • 91-Day Game Plan (Goals) — Translate the DGV into 3–5 measurable Promises (Goals) with owners, KPIs, and milestones that cover the 81 execution days inside the 91-day cycle (with buffer for planning/reset).
  • Monthly Action Planning (MAP) — Break Promises into monthly outcomes and sequences. Assign resources, risks, and checkpoints to keep momentum compounding.
  • Weekly Priorities — HYBWE (Have Your Best Week Ever) — Lock two major outcomes and four critical actions using the 2×4 Weekly Method; align calendars, prep assets, and block focus time.
  • Daily Pursuit — MAAD (Massive Action, Accountability Daily) — Execute the plan with time-boxed sprints, quick stand-ups, and end-of-day score updates; capture lessons into SOPs so improvement sticks.

Outcome: A Leader and Team that know where they are going (Vision); What to Do (Goals & Gameplans); and how to ship it - every week.
