Planning Your List-Building Strategy

Map Out Your Most Profitable Year Yet

When I started planning my year 12 months in advance, everything changed. I finally knew where my revenue was coming from, my team knew exactly what we were doing, and I stopped feeling like I was constantly scrambling.

Today, I'm sharing the six-step process I swear by for planning your year… from choosing your revenue drivers to getting every launch date on the calendar. And the best part? You can plan ahead and still stay flexible! You don't need to know every single detail or the "how" behind everything. Instead, we'll focusing on the "what" and the "when."

Whether you're planning for 2026 or mapping out your next six months, this episode will help you predict your revenue, feel more in control, and finally know if you're on track to hit your goals. Trust me, this planning method changed my business, and I know it can transform yours too!

HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

1️⃣ Reflect Before You Plan – Before mapping out your year, look back at what worked and what didn't. Analyze your profit and loss statement, identify your most profitable campaigns, and use tools like ChatGPT to spot patterns and opportunities you might have missed.

2️⃣ Choose 2-5 Revenue Drivers (And Repeat Them) – The fewer offers you have, the better, as long as you can still hit your revenue goal. Focus on doing one or two things really well multiple times throughout the year rather than spreading yourself thin with too many different offers.

3️⃣ Assign Revenue Goals to Every Launch – Once you map out your launch dates, assign specific dollar amounts to each campaign. If you can't break down how you'll hit your yearly revenue goal, you probably won't reach it. Looking back at past performance helps you set realistic yet ambitious targets for each launch.
