 This program has been an absolute game-changer for me! 

As a small business owner working hands-on 5-7 days a week, I often find it hard to stay consistent with my marketing efforts. This program helped me establish consistent habits (something I had always struggled with). I am in the middle of rebranding in the Super Bloom program as well so things are starting to move and align very quickly for me!

What I love most is the ability to replay the coaching calls. With my busy schedule, being able to catch up at my own pace has been crucial. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to take their business to the next level without feeling overwhelmed!

What Will Planning Circle Do for Me? 

  • Help you look & plan further ahead (in life and biz).
  • Help you actually DO the Goal-setting (and tracking!) 
  • Help you make key decisions (instead of putting them off).
  • Help you disintegrate overwhelm before it starts.
  • Make procrastination a thing of the past
  • Help you avoid burnout and guilt by learning how to manage your time more strategically.
  • Provide accountability so you sit down and do it.
  • Help you goal-set, track, and get more organized.
  • Help you learn how to do less while having more (more cash, more time, and especially more joy).

 
 Setting these goals at the start of the year has really helped me stay specific with my focus! 

I love the planning calls! Setting these goals at the start of the year has really helped me stay specific with my focus. Checking-in monthly on the calls has helped me see all the progress I have made and the work I'm putting in. I've finally accomplished so many things this year that I have had on my to do list for ages. The accountability has been awesome to help me do this.

I love the planner too... The year-at-a-glance calendar with dates and ones with space to write out plans. I love the pages that list the months with lines below.  I've been using that to write down my sessions/sales for each month 🧡

What Makes This Experience Special? 

JOY FIRST

All of our practical strategies, techniques, planning rituals and even our printed planners are rooted in our joy first philosophy: helping you step out of decision-making based on fear and scarcity, and into a world where you’re choosing and operating from a place of expansiveness, abundance and joy (trust me when I say, in 20 yrs this is one of the most underrated productivity hacks, and I’ve seen work wonders!!) This is one of the big reasons we love operating this as a group experience: connection = joy.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE JANUARY

Our planners don’t have dates, so you can jump in anytime and benefit from this planner, and the support, accountability and connection of our monthly, quarterly or annual live planning and review calls straight away. When you jump in we'll encourage you to set your first 90 day themed 'sprint' and off you go!

FREEDOM TO DO IT YOUR WAY

We operate this program with a ‘take what you like, leave the rest’ policy: this is not a course with an end-date, we don’t take attendance, there is no content to consume and no homework to do. In this program there is no ‘getting behind’. This is simply a safe container, a set of well-tested tools, and some powerful coaching to help you find and keep focus on what matters to YOU.

 It has helped me meet deadlines and reach goals. Finally! 

The combination of physical planner, planning calls, co-working calls, and a supportive community have helped me to (finally!) stop operating from a place of overwhelm and panic. Instead, I've started actually, you know, *planning.* Operating from a mindset of "Where is the joy?" and "What would be easy?" I have been able to map out the small, interim steps that I need to accomplish each week, month, and quarter. And that has helped me meet deadlines and reach goals. Finally!

Who is it For?

We are a good fit for you if you are a business owner who wants to live and work in a more joy first way: creating more revenue and more free time, while maximizing more marketing opportunities, and have happier relationships at work and at home. There is no room for toxic hustle culture here.

THIS IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF...

You've identified that a combo of focus, consistent marketing and connection (not going it alone) are essential for your growth right now.

You want access to expert guidance without the high cost of 1:1 coaching and without having to show up for 20 live calls a month.

You could really use a joy first space full of supportive entrepreneurs who get it, free from the noise and negativity of the world right now.

Why Does How we do it Work Better? 

HABIT SUPPORT
We hold space for consistency, every week, twice a week. It's not magic, but it sure can feel like it once you show up that 12th or 13th time and suddenly your productivity is on auto-pilot!
REVENUE FOCUS
We help you create, track and reflect on revenue goals daily, monthly, quarterly and bi-annually.  What gets measured gets improved. Part of the magic is in the repetition we reinforce.
COMMUNITY
In our world community isn't a buzz word, it's a whole vibe. Our people are so awesome, many of them who've met in our spaces travel hundreds of miles to meet up in-person. We attract * the best * people.

  Time to get focused in a way that puts happiness over hustle.

FAQs

Q: I'm just starting my business. Is this too advanced for me?

Not at all! The Planning Circle is designed to meet you where you are. Many of our members are in the early stages of business, and the structured approach is especially valuable when you're establishing foundations. Equally, many of our members are more advanced in their brand and business, and they also enjoy the coaching, energy, community and accountability the Planning Circle provides.

Q: How much time will I need to commit each week?

The minimum commitment is 2-3 hours a month (not a week, a month) but I think you'll find there's work you're either not doing and should be (and the guilt or stress is draining you), or work you are doing alone, that would be better brought to co-working sessions and turned into a fun weekly ritual instead of a slog. Many members use the co-working each Monday to write their newsletter, each Friday to write a blog etc.

Q: I've tried other planning programs before. How is this different?

The Planning Circle structure is a culmination of over 10 years helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses: it's everything you need, and nothing you don't (that's why we have one call a month, not 10). Planning Circle combines expert guidance, built-in accountability, physical planning tools, all for an unbeatable price. It's the the perfect combination that create the kind of magic that our members tell us has finally helped them break through resistance and distraction to create consistency.

Q: How long will I have access to the Marketing Makeover program?

When you join the Planning Circle you can choose to join as a monthly or annual member. You'll have unlimited access to all the resources and calls as long as you're a paying member in good standing. If you receive any bonuses (including the 12 Month Marketing Makeover) with your membership, you'll have unlimited access to them as long as you remain a member.
