How to plan for the New Year as a small business owner!

2023 is 11 DAYS AWAY(!!!) 

And as much as I enjoy spending time with family and doing all the FESTIVE things,  I’m also using this time to self-reflect, organize my thoughts, envision new goals, and map out my 2023. (This is important!) 

As a small business owner and entrepreneur, I fully believe that REST is  NON-NEGOTIABLE. I know first-hand that you can’t operate, create, and problem-solve when you’re tired and burnt out. So, I hope you’re using this time to reset, regroup, and get re-energized before the New Year. 

But I also hope that you’re using this time to think about what big goals and dreams you wanna achieve in 2023. 

And if you’re reading this saying, “I have NO IDEA what things I should even be thinking about” or “I have ideas but I don’t know how to start,” then keep on reading… 

Reflecting, planning, strategizing, and mapping out your year are CRUCIAL to being a successful small business owner. 

This is your chance to press RESET, apply the lessons you’ve learned from this year, and set goals for the new year (whether that means taking on LESS work or finally working on that product idea you’ve been thinking about for months now.) And if you’re feeling unsure on where to even BEGIN, I’ve got a Push podcast episode for you where we dive into 7 tips to help you kick off the new year so you can start turning those dreams into a reality. 

Here’s the truth: a new year won’t magically change your business if you don’t change how you’re showing up.

✨ I’m talking about moving from survival mode to strategy mode. From “I’m just trying to get by” to “I’m taking charge of my next level.”

👉🏽 Maybe that means finally raising your prices.
👉🏽 Maybe it’s setting boundaries with those customers who text you at 10 p.m.
👉🏽 Maybe it’s hiring help so you’re not doing everything yourself anymore.

Whatever it is—you’ve gotta DECIDE. And friend… indecision is costing you time, money, and peace 😬.

So while you’re sipping that peppermint mocha and scrolling Pinterest for next year’s holiday inspo 🎄… take a few quiet moments to ask yourself:

• What worked for me this year?

• What drained me this year?

• What am I no longer available for?

• What do I want MORE of in 2023?

Write it down. Don’t overthink it. Let it flow. Because CLARITY loves action—and action loves a deadline. And what better deadline than the start of a fresh new year?!

And if you’re feeling overwhelmed, like “Janelle, I don’t even KNOW what I want or how to get there,”—that’s okay. You’re not behind. You’re not failing. You’re just ready for guidance.

That’s why I created this week’s PUSH podcast episode: so you don’t walk into 2023 winging it or hoping for the best. You’re going in with a PLAN, a FOCUS, and a fresh sense of PURPOSE.
