[#16] How I Plan My Annual Calendar (You Asked, I Answered)

Watch on YouTube » Read this episode » One of the most important aspects of my business costs about $12 on Amazon. It's a cheap plastic 12 month calendar that I stick on a wall. In this episode, I break down my entire annual planning system. I'll show you how I schedule big rocks (webinars, launches, events), build in proper runway and recovery time, and create the margin needed for life's inevitable curveballs. I'm also sharing my five guiding principles for 2026: fewer commitments, stronger yeses, slower starts, deeper fulfillment, and cleaner endings. Whether you're in startup mode or ready to work less and create more, this framework will help you design a year that's sustainable, profitable, and fulfilling.
