Planning for your business doesn’t have to be boring. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing the exact business planning process I use in my own business, the same one I teach inside the Vivid Business Club and to my one-to-one clients. If traditional quarterly planning hasn’t worked for you, or you’ve tried mapping out goals in January but felt totally stuck in a cheese-and-wine fog, then this will be the permission slip you’ve been waiting for.
I’m sharing how I moved away from unrealistic goal-setting and created a more flexible, joyful business planning process that actually fits the rhythm of real life. We talk about setting your yearly vision in a way that feels exciting, how to break that down into bold goals and brave actions, and most importantly, how to make your plan work with your energy, your seasons, and your capacity.
Whether you’ve got big goals around visibility or simply want to work less and earn more, this episode will show you how to start making decisions with intention, not pressure.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why I plan my business year using thirds instead of quarters
How to build a planning model that supports your life, not drains it
The steps to creating a vision-led, energy-aware business planning process
How testing and consistency are more powerful than constant pivots
The power of setting brave, aligned actions that stretch you without burning you out
