My Monthly Review - January 2022
I have decided to publicly share my monthly business reviews this year (scroll to the bottom of this post to see my others).
This is a reset process I go through on the first of every month to review the month that has just been and to plan for the month ahead.
I highly encourage all of my clients and students to do a similar process each month as it helps keep you accountable and see what is working and isn’t working in your business.
If you want a free checklist to use you can grab that here:
If you aren’t regularly tracking what is happening in your business then it’s very difficult to assess what’s working, what isn’t working, what progress you are making (or not making!) and how you can improve.
My review process normally takes me about 20 minutes to complete each month and when I look back on my previous entries I’m so grateful that I have a record of what has been happening so I can look back on how far I have come!
A quick note before we start…
I share this information publicly because I’m a completely open book and want to encourage and inspire other women and mothers about what is possible with their businesses.
When I was starting my ow business I used to follow a few business owners who did something similar to this and I found it hugely inspiring and helpful as it showed me what was possible in my own business.
However, I’m aware that some people find the sharing of business results and revenue numbers triggering, so if that’s you then I suggest you skip this post and jump in to some of my other free content instead :)
Here’s my review from January 2022.

Notes from Last Month
What went well, what didn’t go well…
Have been enjoying writing my daily blog posts and they aren’t too onerous.
Really well organised and good productivity + discipline around the daily non-negotiable and staying on top of content creation.
Have seen more page views and lower bounce rate since posting more regularly to the blog. Need to keep going with this.
Not 100% sure about starting my daily YouTube videos. I’m not that excited about it honestly...don’t really want to do it! I feel like driving people to my website with the blog makes more sense as then they are there and looking around at my shop etc. rather than having to try and get them off YouTube and over to the site. Need to keep thinking about this.
Keen to get a podcast going as well but need to get through my operation and get the SketchUp course remade first.
Looking forward - plan this month
Focus this month:
Remake the SketchUp Course for 2022
Off to Denfair, which I’m excited for.
Projects this month:
☐ Remake the SketchUp Course
☐ Remake SketchUp course
☐ Get ahead on Instagram posts
☐ Get ahead on blog posts (1 week in advance)
☐ Get ahead on YouTube videos (2 weeks in advance)
☐ Business short course webinar
Goals this month:
☐ 150K in revenue
☐ SketchUp course remake completed before my operation
☐ Enjoy Denfair with my sister
What would make this month amazing?
Get the SketchUp course remade before my operation. Get ahead on both blog posts and Instagram posts so the hospital visit can be stress free.
