In this episode of The Overgivers Anonymous Podcast, I want to talk to you about pretty planners, and why they don’t work. As we are just about to flow into October – the fourth quarter of the year, planning next year is important. I typically like to start my yearly planning in and around October for the next year. I am going to give you some insight into planners, share my planner journey and perhaps touch on a few things that will help you with yours. Planners can help you with boundaries that you might find difficult to set. Planners provide affirmation. Elements we all need as business people.
Highlights
- 2017 was literally my year from hell when it came to planners.
- I ended up purchasing a pretty planner that year. In fact, that pretty planner was a system. There were three planners, one that was for goal setting, one was for my business things, and one was for my personal life. I gotta tell you, they literally went to the wayside faster than you can blink. They were nice to look at with all the pretty colours and pretty sayings but at the end of the day my goal of planning and being organized TANKED.
- Wanting to look at something pretty and thinking that is going to motivate you to use the planner more is a falsehood. I don’t know anybody who actually has used pretty planners and has been super successful with them. They’re just pretty.
- Most planners are just planners. You cash out at the till and then you’re on your own.
- When you purchase the Rockstar planner, not only will you have a functioning tool that gives you what you need, you will also have SUPPORT! Every year you are invited to a planning party that accompanies that planner. Starting this year, for the first time ever, you are also going to be invited to the QUARTERLY planning parties!!!
- The focus is function. The focus is getting stuff done. The Rockstar planner has FLARE!
- You do not have to purchase a “pre pretty” planner. You can make your planner pretty all by yourself! Please remember to choose something with function first.
When I set my goals in my Rockstar planner and use these goals to create my quarters, my months and my non-negotiables, it allows me to create boundaries inside my business. I will know exactly what I need to be working on. With boundaries, people are less likely to be able to walk all over my business or encourage me to take actions that I know aren’t right for my business. Your Rockstar planner is the strong foundation you need that will support your business goals, plans, boundaries and lead you to the success you deserve.
