Summary
We had planned to take break this week, but we just couldn't do it! So, here we are with a bonus episode all about preparing for a new year. This year, we are taking very different approaches - Alice is relaxing into letting things happen in an easy way, while Louise has spent some time defining clear goals and then breaking them down into scheduled tasks. This is a reversal of roles from prior years and so in this episode, we dive into what is driving both of us. Why has super-organised Alice not yet started to develop a plan? Why has laissez-faire Louise suddenly decided to create highly structured plans? It turns out that we have both made these changes to address what didn't work for us in prior years and to suit our individual preferences. And this is so important ... there are many different ways of approaching new year's planning and there is no right or wrong. What most matters is to find a way of working that is right for you.
We also share what has excited and inspired us ... for Alice it was watching Brian Rutenberg's YouTube videos (specifically Studio Visit 48) and for Louise, it was realising how important social media has been in finding her target audience.

| 0:00.0 | B. All right, hello everybody. We didn't think we were going to be doing that this week and as a result I don't even know what number we're on let alone what day out the week it is, but never mind I think you're probably in the same situation aren't you? We're on 49. Are we on 49? Yeah. And I also have a feeling. Louise just said to me she said well this is your idea so you can lead this and she's quite right it was my idea in one of those kind of |
| 0:47.8 | post Christmas slump we can't let New Year go by without having a podcast and I'm all kind of you know chilled and relax and I was |
| 0:56.9 | talking to somebody on Instagram and saying it's that kind of mushy period you know everything's |
| 1:00.8 | mushy nothing's really settled that's exactly how I feel and yet today we're going to be talking about |
| 1:07.8 | 2020 planning and I am so unplanned I can't tell you. I think you're feeling more organized to me. |
| 1:17.0 | I am. I'm feeling super organized and actually really excited and inspired because I've never been this organized. |
| 1:23.7 | I've never had a plan like this in any business that I've run or any job that I've ever done. |
| 1:30.2 | And it's a really nice feeling. I'm not finished planning yet. I've got it all structured and Phil asked me the other day. So what have you been planning and so I got all my books out. I've got three different notebooks and I started so then |
| 1:43.6 | baba baa baa baa and this is content and this is planning for shows and this is |
| 1:49.0 | he was like wow you've been doing loads. I just wonder if it's like some kind of virus and I've somehow passed it onto you. |
| 1:56.0 | And you've got it now. And I haven't. I don't know what it is. |
| 2:00.0 | There's, I was thinking about it and how I was going to talk about it without sounding like I'm not feeling |
| 2:08.1 | I'm still feeling ambitious don't get me wrong and I'm still feeling like it's a year that I'm really excited about but I and I also feel that there are some things that I need to get more organized about so really it's this idea of structure and no structure, whereas in a lot of |
| 2:27.0 | areas where usually I might have been planning I am feeling kind of low-key and I think it's a possible inevitable part of just having a |
| 2:36.8 | difference a change in pace sometimes what happens when you have a break from |
| 2:40.9 | something and I also wondered if this is the first year I'm not feeling that urge to plan, maybe because I have to plan more than I ever done before because I've potentially got more going on |
| 2:57.6 | than I ever have done before. So it's actually a kind of natural anti- to wanting to have to do it in this kind of lovely slow time period. |
| 3:08.0 | What do you think about that? |
| 3:10.0 | Well you said there's some areas where you feel more planned and some way you feel less like planning. |
| 3:14.8 | What are the areas where you feel more like doing it? |
| 3:18.6 | I feel more like doing it in terms of I finally after all this time feel as though I want to have |
| 3:28.0 | more reason for some of the content that I'm sharing. |
