Most creative professionals are flying blind when it comes to annual planning—reacting to opportunities instead of creating them. Today I'm walking you through my 12-Month Outlook template step-by-step, showing you exactly how to get complete clarity on your year and stop leaving your business growth to chance.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

• How to work backwards from launch dates using the 4D Creative Process framework
• The exact template for visualizing your entire creative year at a glance
• How to build realistic timelines that include margin instead of constant firefighting
• Why bringing the system to where you are matters more than perfect planning
• How to make better decisions about what to say yes to (and what to decline)
