Reviewing 2014
Reviewing 2014 is an important part of planning
for 2015. I know were all ready to rush ahead,
but its important to process and learn from the
past. History has a lot to teach us.

Answer these questions
What were some of the biggest lessons I learned
in 2014? What am I most proud of from
2014? What were some areas that felt extremely
on point and easy in 2014? Why was this the case?
5
What were some things that drove me crazy or just
didnt work? How could they be changed? What was
my gross profit last year? Expenses? Net profit?
6
Which of my activities provided the most returns?
List the top 5. (This will probably be monetary
returns, but could be traffic related if youre
not making money yet.)
7
In looking at my expenses, were there things that
could be cut? What pet projects could I have cut
out?

Understanding The Present
Next year will not miraculously overhaul.
Identifying where you are now and building upon
it will be crucial. Ask yourself these
questions How do I fill my 24 hours?
9
List out all the places where your time goes
including unavoidable but unscheduled things like
driving, cleaning, time with significant other
and family, cooking, etc. Also include business
tasks copywriting, emails, etc. Break it down
into an average since you dont do everything
every day.

Am I spending my business time on the projects
that bring in the most revenue? What can I stop
doing to make room for the new goals coming up?

Planning For 2015
Heres where we get to the fun stuff. What is my
personal mission? How do I want to feel? (This
might not always be the case, but its nice to
have a baseline of desired feelings. Choose 3-5.)
12
What would I like to let go of this year? (This
might be limiting beliefs, old stories,
projects. Anything not serving you.) What is my
word of the year? What are my income goals?

What do I need to make this income goal
happen? What are 2-5 big SMART (Specific,
Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely),
goals Id like to take on this year? Why are
these goals important to me?
15
Do they make sense according to what worked well
last year? (This is where it might be helpful to
get feedback from others.) When youve decided
on your big 2-5 goals, plot them in the calendar.
16
How will I make it inevitable that these things
happen? I recommend breaking down your goals even
further and putting those into the calendar, too.
For more information on how to do this, check out
my book at http//rachelrofe.com/goalbook its
a 2.99 Kindle book that explains exactly how to
do this.

How many vacations/days off would I like to take
this year? Plot those in your calendar too. This
should give you an excellent baseline on your
2015 goals.

After you shop your goals to coaches,
mastermind partners or mentors and get a final
OK, I highly recommend that you take the time to
break your goals down into smaller steps. Break
the goals down, get them in your calendar, and
start reaping some major rewards!
