b'It\\u2019s planning time. My favorite time of year. Time to pull out the giant calendar, the sharpies, and any other office supply I can get my hands on. And start to plan for BIG things in 2019.\\n In this special bonus episode, I walk through my 7-step process for getting what you really want in your business in 2019. Download my 2019 Planning Roadmap and follow along, because I know great things are waiting for you next year...\\n Are you ready?\\n Oh, and three things before you get started\\u2026\\n #1: Just focus on the first 6 months. Don\\u2019t think beyond that so you can stay focused.\\n #2: Take ONE entire day to plan. Break out that white board, the post-its, anything that gets your juices flowing, and eliminate any distractions. Think about getting out of your environment, even booking a hotel room for a day so you can really dive in.\\n #3: Plan with someone who knows your business. Whether it\\u2019s your virtual assistant or a trusted colleague, the more someone knows you and where you want to go, the better.\\n Again, make sure to download the step-by-step worksheet that goes along with this episode\\u2014your 2019 Planning Roadmap\\u2014to follow along and do this exercise.\\n Let\\u2019s get started\\u2026\\n First you\\u2019re going to start with your opportunities and big dreams for the next 6 months. Will you create your own digital course? Hire a VA for extra support? FINALLY write that book that\\u2019s been swirling around in your brain?\\n Then you are going to decide on your non-negotiables\\u2014what did you hate doing this year? What are you not willing to do or experience to get to your wildly successful year? There is always stuff that you just get tired of doing. For me, I\\u2019m no longer to make excuses for not posting on Social Media. You might say: I\\u2019m no longer going to take clients out of fear that you will lose out on the money.\\n Then you get to the fun part\\u2014to declare your number. Is it $555K or $55K? How much do you want want to earn next year?\\n Next you\\u2019ll take a step back to move forward. I\\u2019m not about living in the past, however one thing I always do on my planning day is to look at the metrics of 2018. Because so much of what you\\u2019ve done (the good, the bad and the ugly) influences how you are going to move forward. \\xa0\\n Then you\\u2019ll do your calendar planning in two phases. This is the big step. In phase one you\\u2019ll figure out how you\\u2019ll make the number you declared. Then in phase two you will calendar it out.\\n Then you\\u2019ll identify how you need to show up to make 2019 the biggest year yet.\\n In the final step, you\\u2019re taking action. There is where you pull it all together and identify your steps to get it done.\\n Now promise me one thing: At the end of this process, you need to celebrate and do something special to commemorate the moment! (My integrator, Chloe, and I did something fun and silly!)\\n So get going and build your vision for 2019.\\n Subscribe & Review in iTunes Are you subscribed to my podcast?
