Sales & Marketing, Podcasts

Subscribe

As this episode goes to air we’re right at the start of November so we thought it would be great to give you a gentle nudge to get your annual plan for next year done THIS MONTH.

And here’s why…

You don’t want to be planning the year in January.

You’re already behind.

That’s why your hosts, Suzi Dafnis and Michelle Falzon, are sharing the planning structure and framework they use in their Mastermind and businesses for planning the upcoming year in the November of the year before.

When you can start deep-dive planning in November, by the time January arrives your business is set up for success.

Listen to this episode to hear more about:

  • The ONE shift in your annual planning that could skyrocket your results next year… and why NOW is the time to start.
  • Why November is the sweet spot for planning the year ahead—and how waiting until January could leave you missing out on critical growth.
  • The “Big Kahuna” strategy that can radically change your business in just one year.
  • The “mental marinade” effect: How giving yourself thinking time unlocks breakthroughs and avoids strategic missteps.
  • How to use 11 months of hindsight to create a crystal-clear, data-driven plan for the year ahead.
  • How to create space for game-changing ideas to emerge naturally.
  • The unexpected side benefit of planning ahead that enables you to “ride the coat-tails” of major events and holidays.
  • The 90-day recalibration trick: How checking in on your progress every quarter can keep your year on track.
  • How a simple planning tweak helped one entrepreneur cut her launches and make more money—and how you can apply the same strategy.
  • How one tweak in your planning can prevent burnout and still keep you moving forward.
  • The “early bird” method: How getting ahead with your planning sets you up for success.
  • And much more…
