PLANNING 2024

In this episode you’ll learn two ways to uncover your Word Of The Year, and learn my framework for setting 3 core business goals in 2023.


Word of the year

How do you want to feel next year?

All goals we set are really feelings we want to have. So make the feeling the word of the year. It’ll remind you that the end goal isn’t the REAL goal, the feeling is, and we can create that feeling in more ways than one rigid end result we want to have.

What is your top desire in your business?

What is one thing you’re struggling with that is in the way of that goal, and why? The why can be your word of the year.

Setting business goals

First, write down these areas of business and rank them out of 10

  • Niche & messaging

  • Marketing

  • Offers

  • Mindset

  • Audience growth

  • Productivity & organization

  • Income

Circle the 3 that ranked lowest and set one goal for each of those areas.

For example, let’s say your lowest ranked were marketing, income, and productivity/organization.

You might choose to commit consistently to posting on Instagram 5x/week and sending 1 email to your list every week for your marketing goal.

You might choose $60K/year ($5K months) as your income goal, and decide to sell 24 x $2500 packages to reach it.

And you might choose “organize my client process in Dubsado” or “set up and stick to a content batching process” as your productivity/organization goal. (PS - I have a course that will help you set up, learn & customize Dubsado in just 1 day! Learn more here and get 25% off Dubsado with my affiliate link.)

I have a One Page Business Plan template you can fill out to create a 12-month plan to boost profit and provide clarity + direction.. all on one simple page.

Instead of a long, complicated 20-page Google Doc you create once and never use again, this is a one-page template outlining only the most important plans you need, such as your...

  • Niche, tagline and target market

  • Brand Info - the core things that make your brand stand out

  • Offer Suite

  • Content Pillars

  • Your Yearly Sales Goals

  • Your 12-month Business Plan

DO I NEED A SPECIFIC APP TO USE THIS?

When you purchase you’ll receive two file types:

    1. Notion Template

    2. Google Docs Template

You'll be able to duplicate the Notion template and add it to your account. Or alternatively, you can duplicate the Google Doc OR download it to your own device.

What happens after I purchase?

You'll instantly download a PDF including instructions and the link to your templates.
