This week as we start the new year, I wanted to share with you some of the tools my team and I use to prepare – plan – and then EXECUTE on our annual goals.

But before I get to that…

I’m sure I’m not the first person to wish you a Happy New Year. But here I am wishing you the most amazing – loving – connected AND prosperous New Year!

I’ve been hiding out doing a mix of family fun and some behind the scenes prep and planning work for 2019. ?

This past weekend my hubby took the kids and I into NY to see Wicked!! I saw it years ago but have wanted soooo much to take the kids to see it!! The only downside was that my oldest left Saturday on a trip with his peeps to Costa Rica for the New Year!

In addition to Wicked, I then whisked my hubby down to Atlantic City the next day to see a band we love – Breaking Benjamin. ?

Then last night we hung out with a group of friends to ring in the New Year!

Now today, my hubby is back to work – so I’m cramming in a mix of sleeping in with a little busy work!!

How do YOU spend that weird week between Christmas and the New Year??

Do you feel like you’re walking around in circles?? I know I OFTEN feel that way!

But now, I get to whip out my colored markers and my 4-foot calendar and start planning!! (I’m such a calendar geek).

So as I mentioned, I wanted to share with you some of the tools my team and I use to run a multiple six-figure concierge business.

One of my MUST HAVE planning tools!! Dun dun dun…

My wall calendar lol!

Here’s a direct Amazon link to the actual wall calendar I use! https://amzn.to/2rYKk4I

In addition to a big wall calendar, other ways I prepare for the New Year are:

• Color coded calendar
• Shared calendar with my team
• Asana for Project Management and systems
• Google Drive for shared files
• A paper planner (I use the Full Focus Planner and have it auto-delivered every quarter – here’s an affiliate link you can use to order your own – https://bit.ly/2ETru7y)

But truly the most important part of my planning is my 10 STEP Strategic Planning Framework.

When I first started out in business, I set some goals every year. But I never thought them through the way I do now.

Now – I actually map out each and every goal – AND the plan to achieving those goals.

Then I take all that information and use the tools I listed above to ensure I stay on TRACK!

I’m gearing up for the Strategic Planning Day for Concierge, Personal Assistants and Professional Organizers being held next week on Jan 10th as a virtual workshop!

Many of those that have already signed up have started the pre-work!

But don’t fret!!

All you have to do is follow this Paypal link – It’s only $99 for the training, the workbooks, the full day virtual workshop PLUS a bonus follow up call scheduled for Feb 7th. ?

I know doing something like this can be scary – but I promise – I hold your hand the entire time. ?
