Several times a year, I start feeling a little bit lost. Scattered, unfocused, and reactive in my business. Maybe that’s how you feel right now – all of the ideas but unable to make progress on any of it. Too many people don’t give themselves the gift of stepping away from the day to day operations of the business and looking at the bigger picture.

To combat this, I’ve adopted akeystone habit of stepping away for one full day every quarter to reflect on and plan for my business – and this is my 90-day planning process. This keystone habit helps make so many other aspects of my business easier like: 

• Creating consistent content;
• Knowing how to focus my time well;
• Seeing my progress clearly, and
• Being able to step back and evaluate and decide on new ideas for my business.

In this week’s episode, I’m going to walk through my 90-day planning process. I’ll be sharing the logistics involved as well as the different steps I take during that time which are:

1. Reflecting and looking back at what happened
2. Reviewing my financial results
3. Reviewing annual goals
4. Setting 90-day goals
5. Making the Action Plan
6. BONUS: Adding anything else that makes sense to do on a quarterly basis i.e. content and social media planning, taxes, special promotions
