I know this time of year is when most of us are starting to think ahead about planning for the new year, so today I’m giving you quick tips on planning that will help you be more successful, get more done, and feel like you actually did something at the end of the day. I’m also giving you an inside look at the Boutique Boss Planner, which is meant to be your retail bible full of checklists, a calendar, reflections for every month, and so much more!
Listen in as I dive into why setting boundaries is critical for successful planning, how to set clear and measurable goals, and how to stop focusing on your never-ending to-do list. You’ll learn how to focus on your “ta-done list” and how you can sprint to finish the 20% of tasks that will move 80% of the needle in your business—all while making sure you have balance between work, life, and family.
