Скачать или смотреть RS367 - Before you set goals for next year: Year-end business planning for solopreneurs

Feeling overwhelmed by planning next year when your business still feels a bit messy beneath the surface? In this episode, Anna Lundberg shares why rushing headlong into goal-setting without strong business foundations is a recipe for frustration, and lays out a practical, simple approach to set yourself up for success in 2026. If you’re craving more clarity, smarter strategy, and a business that actually suits your life, this episode is tailor-made for you.

Key takeaways:

Brilliant Planning Starts with the Right Foundations: Setting new goals and colour-coded calendars is pointless if your underlying business model is misaligned or not delivering what you need. First, get clear on what’s working, what feels heavy, and what simply isn’t serving you.

The Stop, Start, Continue Method: Anna advocates for the “stop, start, continue” framework—identify what to stop doing (low-ROI activities or things that drain you), what you must continue (your proven efforts), and a mindful approach to what new things you start (beware shiny-object syndrome!).

Prioritise Simplicity Over Overwhelm: Avoid the trap of planning a million changes. Anna’s approach focuses on a light reset—refining your core priorities and picking only one or two key shifts for the first quarter, keeping things achievable and aligned.

Check Your Business Model and Message: Review where your income comes from, what's profitable, and whether your delivery modes (coaching, mentoring, speaking, etc.) align with your capacity and energy. Sharpen your messaging so it stands out in a busy marketplace.

Groundwork Business Recalibration: Anna introduces her 10-day “Groundwork” programme—an experiential reset to evaluate, recalibrate, and set an intentional path for the year ahead, focusing on clarity, confidence, and sustainable growth.
