Big picture planning.

The topic of conversation here this week in Glasgow has been predominately about Storm Isha, which has been closely followed by Storm Jocelyn. I was out in the pitch black with my son earlier in the week as we tried to tether our trampoline to something to keep it from flying off into a neighbour's garden! I didn't have any rope, but managed to use a hose pipe and an old TV cable to secure it. Thankfully it held ok! I had been chatting to my mechanic, as I need to get my campervan checked over, and he woke to find his neighbour's extension in his garden! 😱

Anyway, I chat a lot about values and vision and I think knowing your future vision is important (hopefully one without airborne trampolines!). Where is it that you're headed in life? What's the big dream? It's something that can be done at anytime of the year, and I suggest it's something you want to revisit too. This is not a once and done type activity. And so, it's something that I've been journaling on this week. I've segmented my vision board into sections, Health + Fitness, Home, Travel, Business and Lifestyle. However, with some of my more recent reflections, what I've decided to add is Relationships as a separate segment (I previously had bundled this up in 'lifestyle'). I've been feeling a little lonely, and so nurturing my friendships is something that I'm going to be prioritising.

I've peeled back the curtain in this week's blog post to share with you how I strategically plan out my year for my business.

In summary, this looks like:

👉🏼 Reflection on 2023; what went well and what could have been better?

👉🏼 Check-in with my future vision

👉🏼 Goal setting for 2024

👉🏼 Create my monthly plan (keeping it high level)

👉🏼 Drill into the details in my project management tool, Asana (want to learn how I use this free tool to manage my biz, access my on-demand training here).
