Staying Solo

Planning Without the BS: How to Prep for the New Year Without Wasting Time


Listen Later

Traditional planning often fails solo business owners…

Yet, everywhere you look, it’s the same old thing: big, bold goals, detailed action plans, and endless hype about setting yourself up for your “best year ever.”

The problem? You don’t have endless resources to make all these big, lofty goals a reality. You’re a team of one, meaning your time and energy are finite resources, so you must plan accordingly. 

In today’s episode, we’ll explore the three pillars of the Staying Solo Framework—space, salary, and strategy—to help you build a sustainable plan for the new year. 

Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • Why planning tends to go wrong for solo business owners.

  • Defining what ‘enough’ looks like for you. 

  • How to plan for specific pillars of the Staying Solo Framework:

    • Space - protecting time and energy and managing your capacity.

    • Salary - setting financial goals that matter and ensuring you’re paying yourself appropriately. 

    • Strategy - aligning your business with your goals. 

  • Focusing on what really matters in your business.
