Your calendar is lying to you

You’re not imagining it: your calendar is straight-up gaslighting you.
It tells you that random 15-minute gaps between calls are totally enough time to plan your next big move.
Spoiler: they’re not.
That amazing course idea? Still in your head.
The clients you want to attract? Waiting on a marketing strategy you haven’t had time to create. And that dream team you need to hire? Their job descriptions are gathering dust in your “someday” folder.
Meanwhile, your business is growing. But instead of feeling like a CEO, you’re still stuck juggling all the things.
Your revenue says CEO. Your schedule says burned-out founder.
FYI: real strategic planning can’t happen in the cracks of your day. You need time carved out—dedicated, protected, no-excuses time—to work on the big picture.
The Fix: The CEO Time Stack
This 3-step system will help you reclaim your schedule and actually run your business like the boss you are:
Weekly Power Hour: One focused hour to review your priorities, adjust your plans, and prep for the week ahead. (Pro tip: schedule it when your brain is sharp—not Friday afternoon when you’re running on fumes.)
Monthly Deep Dive: Block a half or full day to work ON your business. This is for the projects living rent-free in your brain—like your systems, that new offer, or automating your processes.
Quarterly Strategy Sprint: Carve out one or two days to map out the big moves that’ll grow your business—not just keep it afloat.
This isn’t about being busy—it’s about being intentional.
My client had an HR consultancy that was growing fast. But her old “strategic planning” system involved piles of sticky notes and random voice memos she’d send to her assistant.
She felt like she was always behind.
After we worked together implementing the CEO Time Stack for her, she started blocking every Wednesday morning for a Power Hour and scheduled monthly planning sessions.
And within six weeks, she booked six new clients because she finally had the space to work on her business.
Need help finding time to focus on the big picture?
This is exactly what we’ll do together during your CEO Era VIP Day.
In one focused day, we’ll: ✔️ Map out where your time is actually going (spoiler: it’s not where you think). ✔️ Build a schedule that makes space for strategic planning and self-care. ✔️ Clear the clutter off your plate—whether it’s delegating, automating, or deleting tasks altogether.
If you book your VIP Day by December 20th, you’ll also get a bonus 90-minute follow-up session in January (a $350 value).
Your 2025 can either be another year of doing it all, or it can be the year you step fully into your CEO role. Let’s make that second option your reality.
Talk soon!

P.S. Book your VIP Day by December 20th to lock in your bonus session. Let’s make 2025 the year you step into your CEO Era.
