Dear Powerful Woman,
As we move into the second half of the year, I want to pause with you — right here, right now — and say: You’ve made it this far, and that’s something worth celebrating.
Whether your business is just getting off the ground or you’ve been hustling hard for years, this is the perfect time to reset, realign, and refocus. There is something truly beautiful about giving yourself permission to step back, reflect, and set powerful intentions for what’s next. Because here’s the truth: you are the architect of your vision, and every big dream starts with a clear, grounded plan.
Let’s walk through this together.
🌱 Step 1: Reflect on What’s Gone Well
Before we can move forward with intention, we need to look back with honesty and grace. Take a few minutes with your journal, notebook, or even the Notes app on your phone and ask yourself:
- What’s gone really well in my business so far this year?
- What am I proud of?
- What surprised me — in a good way?
- What do I want to keep doing?
- Sometimes we’re so focused on what’s not working that we forget to celebrate the wins, big or small. Don’t skip this — you’ve earned it.
🍂 Step 2: What Do You Need to Release?
Growth means letting go of what no longer serves you. Maybe it’s an offer that drains your energy. A client who doesn’t align with your values. Or a habit that’s holding you back.
Try these prompts:
- What feels heavy in my business right now?
- What am I doing out of obligation instead of alignment?
- What would I stop doing today if I gave myself permission?
- Write it down. Say it out loud. Release it.
🎯 Step 3: Set Powerful Goals for Q3 & Q4
Now we’re ready to build your next chapter. Whether you’re focused on launching, scaling, or stabilizing your business — clarity is key. For this, I love using the SMART or GROW goal-setting models.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the SMART framework:
- Specific: What exactly do you want to achieve?
- Measurable: How will you know you’ve done it?
- Achievable: Is this realistic right now?
- Relevant: Does it align with your larger vision?
- Time-bound: When will it be done?
💡 Example: “Book 5 new clients by September 30 through organic Instagram marketing.”
Prefer a coaching-style model? Try GROW:
- Goal: What do you want?
- Reality: Where are you now?
- Options: What could you do?
- Will: What will you commit to?
- Use whichever model speaks to you. The goal is progress, not perfection.
