VISIONARY SOLO BUSINESS OWNERS
Your Year, Your Growth, Your Way
Create a realistic, flexible 12-month plan for your business and life, so you can make meaningful progress without burning yourself out.
A half-day online workshop for solo business owners who are ready to stop winging it, get back in the driving seat, and create their most-likely-to-actually-happen plan yet.
Thursday 3rd December, 9.30am - 1pm GMT
Online, with a personalised, hand-drawn planning pack posted to you
Just 10 places available. Investment: £275.
Imagine starting January without the slightly panicky, “Right then, what on earth am I doing this year?” feeling.
Instead, you’re able to switch off over the festive season, knowing you’ve already given yourself the time and space to think.
You know what matters most.
You know which projects deserve your attention.
You have a clear, realistic plan to guide you through the year, while still leaving room for real life, changing priorities and the unexpected things that always crop up.
That’s what we’ll create together in Your Year, Your Growth, Your Way.
This is not a stuffy, overly-prescriptive planning session where you’re expected to map every waking minute in a fancy spreadsheet.
It’s a calm, practical and focused space to step back from the day-to-day, get clear on what you want from the year ahead, and create a flexible plan that works with your actual life, energy and priorities.
And we’re doing it in early December, not January when you’re tired, full of cheese and wondering what day it is.
Let’s check you’re in the right place...
Do you feel like you’re flying by the seat of your pants, with no real clue what’s happening in your business from one month to the next?
Do you get in a tailspin because you want to do everything NOW?
Do you make plans that turn out to be completely unrealistic, then beat yourself up because you’re not moving as quickly as you’d like?
Do you kick yourself because you know you could have done something better if only you’d given yourself more time?
Are you disappointed at the end of every month because you still haven’t progressed the things that would really move the needle in your business?
If you answered yes to all, or most, of those questions, you’re in exactly the right place.
This workshop will help put you back in the driving seat of your business and your life.
By the end of the workshop you’ll have…
A big-picture visual map of your year, from January to December.
Clarity on what success looks like for you, and what you actually want to prioritise.
A realistic sense of when to focus on each project, rather than trying to make everything happen at once.
Space in your plan for your life, your energy, your commitments and the inevitable curveballs.
A simple way to revisit, adjust and keep using your plan throughout the year.
In other words, you’ll leave with a plan that is:
Realistic enough to fit your actual capacity
Flexible enough to adapt when life happens
Motivating enough to help you keep taking action
Which means it’s also going to be the most-likely-to-actually-happen plan you’ve ever created.
And if you follow through and take action, which I’ll help you think about during the session, this could be the start of your most productive, progress-filled year in business so far.
“Working with Louise to plan out my year was a revelation! It feels wonderful seeing the whole year mapped out on a big sheet of paper. And integrating the life stuff too? How have I never done it like this before!
There’s something about Louise’s approach that brings everything to life. The magic is in the simplicity. I’m now way more realistic, have a clear roadmap to follow, and I’m actually getting things done.”
Janine Coombes, Sales and Marketing Coach, Speaker and Author
What’s this workshop all about then?
First things first: this is called ‘Your Year, Your Growth, Your Way’ for a reason:
Your year - you’ll design a year that works and feels good for YOU.
Your growth - you’ll get clear about what success looks like for YOU, and what YOU want to prioritise next year. (Let’s leave all those ‘shoulds’ at the door, shall we?)
Your way - you’ll be encouraged to trust yourself. I’ll empower you to create a plan that works for YOU, your life, and how you work best.
I’ll give you thoughtful prompts, gentle structure and practical guidance, but this is not about me handing you someone else’s definition of a successful year. It’s about empowering you to create a plan that works for your business, your life and how you work best.
During our time together, you’ll:
Get curious about how things have been going over the last 12 months
Get excited and motivated about what you want the year ahead to look like
Get crystal clear about the projects and ideas you’re ready to make happen
Get mapping, deciding what happens when from January to December
Get ready for action, with a plan you’ll know how to return to and adjust throughout the year
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a simple, flexible plan in your hands that you can’t wait to implement.
Yep, we’re doing this the old-school way, on a big sheet of paper.
Don’t worry, I’ll send you everything you need in the post.
“As a procrastinating creative, I appreciated Louise's encouragement to be gentle and flexible with planning and dealing with setbacks. I feel like I'm organised for the year ahead but without being too structured - that's the Holy Grail for creatives and not something we're good at doing on our own!
Louise helped me to get clarity on what's REALLY important for my business and my life, and to prioritise those.”
Gudrun Lauret
“Louise creates a professional yet relaxed and calming atmosphere that facilitates a fab planning session.
You look backwards and ahead, and are free to practically and purposefully plan your dream year ahead.
Thank you, Louise. It was a positive and affirming experience. See you next year!”
Joely Hodgson
What this planning workshop is not…
This is not pie-in-the-sky, wishful thinking, where you randomly cram all your projects and ideas into the first few months of the year.
It’s also not a “here’s a fancy spreadsheet, fill it in and then crack on” situation.
And it’s definitely not about creating some mythical perfect plan that you’ll follow perfectly, because honestly, life does not work like that.
This is three and a half hours for you to step into your role as CEO of your business and designer of your life.
To lift your head above the weeds.
To connect with what you want your life and business to look and feel like.
To get clear about what you’re working towards, what you have capacity for, and how you can create a plan that aligns with all of that.
If you’re used to making plans and then abandoning them, this workshop is designed to help you break that pattern.
I’ll encourage you to be flexible, to make space for setbacks and shifts, and to remember that changing your plan does not mean you’ve failed.
It means you’re responding intentionally to real life.
The plan we create together will not end up forgotten, gathering dust in a drawer. It will be there to remind you what matters, help you make decisions and keep you focused on the things that will move you forward.
“This was a significant door-opening experience. A simple, analog door with paper and sticky notes. And yet, going through the process felt so different from any other time I've mapped out my year. I was less likely to get caught in my brain, to overload, to spend too long and end up in the weeds and fried. And, the little bits of challenge and discovery exchange on the chat helped me, in a way I can't quite describe.
I came out feeling energized, capable, and stronger than when I went in. And, now I am looking forward to the year ahead. That's pretty dramatic!”
Alison M
“I've done lots of planning sessions before joining Louise's Purposeful Planning workshop, but have often felt quite overwhelmed and anxious during the process.
With Louise it was different - it felt so calm and peaceful.
I loved the quiet interaction we had with Louise whilst we were working on each stage… All I had to do was focus on what I wanted for me, my life, and my business.
If you love the idea of having a plan but dread the idea of creating one, then spend three hours with Louise. You won't regret it.”
Kaye King
Why plan the next 12 months in early December?
Are you usually a bit frazzled and/or knackered by the middle of December?
And how are your energy and focus levels in the first week of January?
If you know you’re not at your best once the festive season kicks in, but you still want to create a plan that will support you during the year ahead, let’s do it before the kids break up from school and before you fall too deeply into the Quality Street.
You’ll be able to roll with whatever the festive season throws at you, knowing your plan is ready and waiting.
Then, when you are ready to pick things back up in January, you can land feeling focused, clear and properly on it, rather than staring at a blank page wondering where to begin.
“When I saw your email for a yearly planning session, my first thought was, I have no idea what I’m doing next year, I’m still in the thick of this year!
Then I paused and thought, this is precisely why I should join the session.
I’ve gone from having no idea what next year looks like to having a clear, focused outline, with permission to shift my thinking as needed along the way. Thank you Louise.”
Lynsay McFarlane-Shaw
“I consider myself a good planner but there is nothing like getting professional help when you’re knees-deep in running your own business.
The purposeful planning workshop was lovely: a calm, kind space which nonetheless feels like it has got me shipshape for next year. I have come away feeling excited about my plan, not overwhelmed.
Not to mention it is flexible so no guilt allowed! Thanks Louise for facilitating.”
Emily Edwards
Hi, I’m Louise and I’ve been helping small business owners achieve incredible things since 2016.
Having experienced work-related stress and anxiety in my former career, I know how important it is to lift your head above the weeds and make intentional choices around what gets your focus and what can wait.
My slow, mindful approach to productivity has helped hundreds of business owners get the important things done in a way that feels good.
Whether they’re running their first online summit, launching a new offer, or finally getting into a regular rhythm with their content creation, my clients often surprise themselves with just how productive they can be when they have a plan that supports them.
I’d love to help you create yours.
Is this for you?
This will be great for you if…
You’re a solo business owner who wants to get back in the driving seat of your business.
You’re fed up of spending all your time dealing with the small stuff, and never getting round to the projects that would really move the needle.
You know you’d find it easier to stay focused on the right things, and would make waaay more progress, if you had a clear plan for the year ahead.
You have projects, ideas or ambitions you’d love to progress.
You’re a seasoned business owner who is confident that, with thoughtful prompts and guidance, you can make decisions and prioritise for yourself.
This is NOT for you if…
You’re just starting out in your business and feel uncertain about what you need to be doing to grow.
You do not have any projects or ideas you would like to progress over the next year.
You want to map out your entire year in intricate detail using a fancy-pants, all-singing, all-dancing digital system.
You need one-to-one support to create your plan. This is a group workshop, so whilst I’ll be there to guide you through the process, I will not be able to walk through everyone’s plans individually.
You’re a fan of hustle culture. I want you to have space to enjoy life, so if your intention is to work 24-7, this won’t be a good fit.
