The Sunday night secret that saved my business
It was the start of my business, and I was sitting at my desk on a Sunday night staring at a to-do list that felt more like a guilt trip than a plan.
Half-written Post-it notes. Reminders in my phone. Random scraps of paper with “ideas” that felt urgent at the time. And of course, my Google calendar with twelve different color codes that made me look organized but didn’t actually tell me what to do next.
The truth? I was drifting (and by drifting I mean looking up ways to start a side business in Hawaii).
I would wake up on Monday, glance at my list, and immediately wonder which fire to put out first. Then I would spend most of the week doing a million things without ever feeling like I moved forward on the things that actually mattered.
And by Sunday night, there I was again, staring at that same guilt-trip list.
That is when I realized: my business didn’t need another task list. It also didn’t need a bullet journal or a pretty calendar type planner. I had already tried those.
It needed a NEW system. A way to focus on the things that actually created clients and revenue, while still leaving space for me to breathe and live.
So, 16 editions and 14 months later, I created the Breakthrough Planner.
Here is what changed when I started using it:
- Instead of setting ten goals and doing none of them, I chose just three every 90 days. And I write them down in the journal every.single. day. That way I don’t get distracted by all the shiny pennies out there. Science confirms this works. My sanity confirms it too.
- I stopped relying on “stories” about how I was doing and started looking at real numbers. Numbers don’t lie. Numbers set you free. I wrote those down in my Business Dashboard section of the journal.
- I planned my weeks in my weekly planning section in advance so when I sat down on Monday morning, I already knew what mattered. No more staring into the abyss of possibility.
- And each day, I reflected not just on what I did, but on who I was becoming at the end of the day in my daily section. That part is as important to me as the revenue.
Now, instead of Sunday night dread, I actually feel relief. The tantrums in my brain have quieted. And those 1 a.m. adrenaline spikes, when I used to remember something I forgot to do, are gone.
On Saturday, September 13th, I am leading Breakthrough Planner Day.
It is the day where I walk you through this exact system Live. Together we will set your goals for the next 90 days, break them into milestones, map them into your weeks, and create a plan that gives you both income and peace.
The day is absolutely free if you purchase a planner for just $32.
This is not about “getting it all done.” It is about finally knowing exactly what matters and letting the rest go.
I want that for you.
