If you have a small business, you are the CEO and you need to not just be setting fun, dream goals, but STRATEGIC, attainable goals.

I shared in THIS VIDEO how I plan for my mid-year and quarterly goals using Powersheets.

Start 2025 off on the right foot

Below is a peek inside the Cultivate What Matters Powersheets Goal Planner (2024).

My business COMPLETELY changed in 2024, and it wasn’t for the better…

I made a BIG pivot in 2024 by investing $4,000 into a course that taught me how to create passive income strategically. I desired more time and less 1:1 clients so I dove in to the work and revamped my Squarespace With Confidence course to be Beyond the Template.

Although I believe I came out with a better product, I spent 9 months and 200+ hours focussing on this which resulted in a HUGE dip in income. So what will I change in 2025? I will plan my year more strategically and not chase unrealistic goals (I’m sorry but you can’t make $10K months on a course if you don’t have a decent sized following).

Here’s what I’m doing differently in planning my business:

1. Answer – what didn’t go well this year?
2. Looking at the numbers/ metrics to see what truly moves the needle in my business.
3. Is there anything I can outsource? Instead of spending money on education, I am going to focus on spending money on services (someone to do ads FOR me is my next goal).
4. Writing down what brings me the most joy and what my WHY is. I started this business to be home with (future) kids, have freedom to travel, chase goals, and donate money however I want. Some of those things are going great (I’ll be in Hawaii with my husband for a week and then in Minnesota for a week and then in Iowa for a week! The BEST December in my opinion).
5. Re-launching instead of coming up with a new way to launch or a new product.

This approach will help me set more realistic, actionable goals that align with my revenue targets, cut out unnecessary busywork, free up my time, and stay on track all year without the overwhelm.
