Description

Grab your coffee and settle in for some real talk! Today I'm diving into something that affects 99.9% of my clients (and probably you too) - the exhausting cycle of constantly reacting in your business instead of having a strategic plan. If you're tired of Wednesday panic mode, dropping everything to answer every message, or scrambling to figure out what to post on Instagram, this episode is exactly what you need.




Key Topics Covered

In this game-changing episode, I explore:

  • The difference between reactive and responsive business - and why one serves you while the other burns you out
  • What a reactive business actually looks like - putting out fires, dropping everything for every message, and living in constant "what do I need to do this week?" mode
  • The dangers of over-planning - why spending more time color-coding spreadsheets than actually doing the work is just perfectionism in disguise
  • My proven framework: Quarterly intentions + Monthly focus + Weekly flexibility
  • Why generators and manifesting generators struggle with rigid planning - and what works better for your energy type
  • The power of a weekly business scan - one hour that will save you countless hours of scrambling
