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

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
