Hey Reader,

What’s the most important part of a CEO annual planning day?

Boss-level snacks, obvs.

​

That, and a guide who will give you a roadmap, clear instructions AND flexibility to work around different brains and situations, and space to actually get your planning done.

In December, I took 3 weeks off. Not only did my business not fall apart, I filled a January creativity challenge with 22 customers while I went surfing and read books and played computer games and did some solo hikes.

During those 3 weeks, I decided it was time to get serious about my plans because I am a person with a LOT of ideas and I am easily distracted from my One True Mission.

This shows up not in business mistakes, but in burnout. I was exhausted. Something had to change.

So after spending a morning with Charelle Griffith at an event in February, in which I really thought hard about my goals, I set aside two half-days this past weekend to dig into my business.

Under Charelle’s guidance I pulled out all the rugs and cushions and dug into the corners of my hopes, dreams, life, and business, and got busy.

All powered by snacks, of course.

And now I have a plan.

I know exactly what I want to achieve this year.

I know exactly what I’ve got time for and how to fit it all in.

And I know what I need to do to make it happen.

Not really so different from writing a book, when you think about it.

Actually, it’s exactly like writing a book. And funnily enough, I have my own version of this for my clients.

If you know your idea but you’re stuck, spinning, or have been “nearly ready” for longer than you’d like to admit:

My VIP Book Breakthrough Day is your Charelle moment. We’ll pull out all the rugs, dig into the corners of your manuscript, bust through whatever’s been blocking you, and get a serious chunk of writing done — so you finish the day with a clear plan AND words on the page.

Kevin had been agonising over his book for two years before he came to me. Six months after our day together, it was published.

I have one VIP day available in March. If that’s you, reply and let’s talk.

Not quite there yet? Still circling the idea?

The Book Blueprint Session is your starting gun. In 90 minutes, we’ll get crystal clear on your book idea, map your reader journey, and build your detailed outline — so you leave knowing exactly what you’re writing, how you’re structuring it, and when you’re doing it.

Not a template. A proper, bespoke plan, built around your book and your brain.

I have two Blueprint Sessions available in March. Reply with where you’re at and I’ll tell you which one’s right for you.

TTFN,

Vicky 🫡
