This is the final episode in our 3-part Goal Planning series —and today we’re building the playbook.

If you keep restarting your goals, buying new planners, or saying “this time I’m serious,” this isn’t just about discipline. It’s about structure.

In this Lessons Lounge, I break down my Binder Method step-by-step: how to name your year, write a governing credo, define vision vs. mission, build an anchor page for when motivation drops, and organize the nine areas of your life into goals, strategy, systems, and habits.

We’re moving from motivation to operation.

Plus, for Black History Month, we spotlight Joelle Lee industry leader, multicultural and skin expert. Honoring her impact on safe treatment of skin of color and business education in esthetics.
