Episode 16 of The FitsPRO Podcast is all about my first experience with quarterly planning in regards to my business. Although I’ve technically owned a business for four years, I NEVER did quarterly planning. In fact I’d never really heard of it until November 2018 when my friend Paige brought Amber McCue’s Fresh Start Workbook and Planner to my attention.
I always did Hilary Rushford’s yearly review + planning workshop and LOVE IT. But this quarterly planning sounded like just the thing I was looking for heading into 2019. Which would be my first year FULLY self employed.
I believe Amber’s workbook is $37 or it was at the time. But there are TONS of options when it comes to quarterly planners. Amber’s was downloadable which worked perfect for me as we were traveling the world. But if I was stateside I’d 100% get a pen and paper 90 day planner for entrepreneurs. So if you too love putting your pen to physical paper, I would either get Amber’s workbook and PRINT IT OUT, or do some research and find on that suits your fancy.
The planner itself is of less importance than your intent and ability to IMPLEMENT the actual planning. This is where the magic happens. This is where MY MAGIC happened in quarter 1 of 2019. I reached goals, I didn’t reach goals, I realized A LOT of things, and I’ll get better and better each quarter.
I even use 30, 60, and 90 planning inside FitsPRO Foundations because it was so effective for me, I couldn’t possibly keep it from my students. And I truly believe if I would have started quarterly planning earlier on in my business journey, I would have grown faster + learned a lot about myself. So whether you’ve been in the world of business for a hot minute, or you’re a newb…I highly suggest you give this episode a listen, and start quarterly planning NOW.
