186: Behind the Scenes of My Q3 Planning Process
Description
Everyone loves to talk about quarterly planning like it’s just a checklist: revisit your goals, double down, push harder. But that’s not how I approach it - and honestly, that’s not what helps you scale sustainably.
In this episode, I’m bringing you behind the scenes of my actual Q3 planning process - what I’m focusing on in my business, what I’m letting go of, and where I’m choosing to spend my time and team energy. You’ll hear how I review data, evaluate visibility strategies, and reflect on what’s actually working.
Because growth isn’t just about offers or pricing. It’s about alignment, honest reflection, and knowing what to double down on - and what to walk away from. I’m sharing all of it with you here.
