Most of us start January with a planner full of goals and no idea how many clients it actually takes to hit them. This year, you can skip the forty-slide vision deck. In about twenty minutes, I’ll walk you through a 2027 business planning process that fits on one page. It’s simple enough to finish in an afternoon and specific enough that you’ll still be using it in March.

We’ll look back at what actually made you money in 2026. Then we’ll turn your revenue goal into a number of calls you can book each month, and give every quarter one project that moves you toward it. If you’ve ever set a big goal and then had no idea what to do on a random Tuesday in April, this one’s for you.

What you’ll learn

• The three questions to answer about 2026 before you plan anything new, including the one most business owners skip
• How a $120,000 goal becomes four sales calls a month, with simple math you can do on a napkin
• Why your best marketing channel is wherever your clients already came from, and how to work referrals on purpose
• The four levers every revenue project should move, and why a price increase in Q1 can cut your client load
• How to make room for a long-game project, like a podcast or a course, without letting it eat the work that pays the bills
• A three-question brand and website check to make sure your site can carry the plan you just made
