Welcome to episode 102! I’m so happy you’re here. To say I’m excited about this message today is truly an understatement. This is what I love, almost more than anything else, to help leaders with.

It’s also what I personally enjoy working through myself. And it is work. So we’re here today to give you some things to work on for your best year yet.

Have you been ancy and eager to do some planning for your year ahead but unsure where to start, and how to go about it? You want to prepare but you also want to be thorough. You really just want a simple straightforward effective guide.

You’re in the right spot! I’m so excited to do this with you!

Before we dive in, let me set this up. This is part one of two episodes. You’ll need and want time to spend on this message before listening to part two. Together they set you up for your best year yet.

All of my episodes are timeless. Meaning it doesn’t matter what time of year you listen, or where you’re at in your business journey, my intent is for the message to always be timely and valuable.

Although that is true for today’s episode as well, I hope you’ll listen at a point when you’re ready to plan for the year ahead, as in turning the calendar from one year to the next.

Today is about getting in a helpful head-space, with key questions and strategies to get you ready for the year ahead.

If this is finding you at any other time of the year this message can also be relevant and timely any month of the year when you need to hit the reset button for example. It could be after a big life change or a big business change. It could also be during a time when you’re kind of in a funk, things aren’t going as you want them to, and maybe you’re thinking, “What am I really doing? What’s this all for? I need to regroup.”

Those times would also be relevant, timely, and helpful.

I hope you’re listening when you’re planning for the year ahead. And if you’ve already done your annual planning for the year ahead, Awesome!!

I invite you to keep listening. You’ll either get a big dose of validation or you’ll get that and a few more points of value to add to what you’ve already done.

Let me share that I facilitate an actual workshop around this topic today. Meaning it comes with an actual workbook. I walk you through it. So keep in mind this is the short and sweet version of that without discussion, the workbook, or Q and A.

I’ll give you more on those options before we’re done today.

But for now, sit back and simply listen. Let yourself take this in. And I don’t know, if you’re driving or doing something else while listening, maybe you need to come back when you have more head space to truly use this to your advantage.

This message, my entire business really, is based on the message that the leader you’ve been to get where you are is not the leader you need to become to get where you want to go.

You hear it at the beginning of every episode. Because it is the truth. Every time I share this when I’m speaking (in person or virtually) I see light bulbs go off. I get people’s attention. They look up. They pick up their pens and write it down. They ask me to repeat it.
