So here it is. 2018. Personally, I couldn’t wait to get back to work. I love helping people and finding new ways to build relationships and businesses.
January is all about planning for me. I love to set up the year ahead and the next 12 weeks. You can read my 2018 goals here and see how I plan on making $1 million.
Complete the Year Compass
What is it?
Year Compass (https://yearcompass.com/) is a free workbook that I’ve done for a couple of years now. It’s a workbook that allows you to review the past year and plan your year ahead
Why is this important?
We’re all too quick to jump into a resolution or talk about how “bad” last year was. To me, showing gratitude for what happened in 2017, opens me up to receiving more of what I appreciate in 2018.
How am I planning on doing it?
Block out 3 hours and smash through the worksheet.
When will it be complete?
By the 5th January 2018
Who is involved?
Me and the workbook.
Plan 12 month content strategy
What is it?
While yearly planning is a killer for some people. I’ve been looking more and more at the maths of content and strategy and I’m convinced that I can maximise the amount of traffic I attract, leads I generate and impact I have on the world if I plan out my content 12 months in advance.
I want to produce a 52 week, 12 month content calendar with blog post titles. topics, lead magnets and follow up strategies.
Why is this important?
It’s become clear to me that I need to leverage my time and assets better. By planning out the journey and funnel that customers can take, starting with the content, I can automate my sales process easier and more effectively.
How am I planning on doing it?
Start with my 10 x 10 content matrix exercise (found here) and choose topics for each week. Make sure the lead magnets are in place and after 12 weeks, all my silos are automated where I can just continue to add content.
You can watch my video on creating content silos here.
When will it be complete?
Before 5th Jan 2018
Who is involved?
Me and a calendar

It’s a simple funnel process. My new email subscribers are followed up with and I love every single one of them. I also have the 3 most important products that funnel builders could ever find.

January is a great time of year to plan ahead, work on your business and start to scale your own funnel agency. I want to get 10 new customers on board at $100 per month (we’ll be increasing the price end of January).
