In this episode, I share my approach to planning for a successful year by introducing three essential types of plans: the meta plan, the mini plan, and the accountability plan. Here’s what you’ll take away: *Why creating a big-picture (meta) plan gives you clear direction and purpose for your year *How breaking things down into step-by-step (mini) plans makes big goals feel manageable *The importance of staying accountable—especially for uncomfortable tasks—and building support systems to keep you on track You'll also hear how these strategies connect to the core foundations of success in business, and why a supportive community (like the Uncomplicating Business Lab) makes all the difference.   Join the Uncomplicating Business Lab Community: Torpeycoachingtorpeycoaching.com/thelab   Book a free 1:1 conversation about coaching: Torpeycoachingtorpeycoaching.com/book-online   Check out Selling for Weirdos here: ThinkificSelling for Weirdos with Sara Torpey FacebookLog into Facebook  

In this episode of "Uncomplicating Business," I sit down with my fabulous friend and business growth expert, Tracy Beavers about how trusting yourself, staying flexible in your planning, and taking consistent action are the real keys to business success. We talk imposter syndrome, figuring out the tech (hello, YouTube tutorials!), and making space for both fun and connection on the way to success. Key takeaways: - Trust isn’t one-size-fits-all—sometimes it’s about betting on yourself in a big way, and sometimes it’s tiny daily acts of faith that move you forward; - Planning is essential, but the magic is in being willing to pivot and stay curious when life (or business) brings the unexpected. - Consistency is about commitment, not rigidity—showing up authentically matters more than sticking to a perfect plan. - The heart of business growth is connection; start with a simple coffee chat or DM—because you never know what opportunities might come from new relationships.
