Planning, Growth Zones

I see so many business owners entering each new year already exhausted. That exhaustion? It originates from months before. Now is the time not just to plan out your 2026 — but it is the time to truly sit with your goals, and understand how you can accomplish them this next year.

In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, I’ll walk you through the exact planning strategy I’m using to plan my 2026.

And it is all about clarity, focus, and alignment. So if you’re already overwhelmed looking at what you need to get done next year… this is the strategy you need to follow.

Here’s What You’ll Come Away With: 

  • Why “busy” can NOT be your default business strategy in 2026 – and how to prevent the overwhelm.
  • My business planning strategy from start to finish, so you can go into the next year feeling calm, organised… and excited.
  • The 3 parts that are essential when building your business plan in 2026, and why each step is a pillar to your organisation.
  • Why the right plan doesn’t add MORE to your plate… but actually protects your time and your energy.
  • The difference between a healthy goal that stretches you versus one that silently drains you.
  • How to actually make TIME for big-picture thinking and strategy, even when your to-do list is a mile long.
  • The secret strategy that makes planning your year 10x more effective (and fun!)
  • A FREE downloadable Resource to help you plan out YOUR 2026
