Episode 156 - How I Plan My Business For The Year Ahead
If planning your year feels overwhelming, vague, or like it turns into a chaotic to-do list by February, this episode is your reset. I’m walking you through the exact yearly planning system I use to create clarity, protect my energy, and map out what I’m selling 12+ months in advance, without burning out or overcommitting.
You’ll hear why a proper yearly review is non-negotiable for sustainable growth, and how I use reflection to guide decisions instead of guessing. I also break down how I plan in a way that supports regulation and radiance, including how I build quarterly breaks into my calendar so business growth does not come at the cost of wellbeing.
This is a practical, values-led approach to business planning for women business owners who want aligned strategy, clear offers, and a plan that feels spacious, realistic and genuinely supportive.
