My Monthly Review - March 2022
I have been publicly sharing my monthly business reviews since January 2022 (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 March 2022.

Top 3 Wins Last Month
1. Remade SketchUp to Layout course
2. Survived the family getting COVID
3. Wrote a blog post pretty much every day still - only missed a couple of days. That’s now 3 months.
Notes from Last Month
What went well, what didn’t go well…
Bit of a rough month as the entire family got COVID one after the other starting with Caleb on 13th March and still going as I write this with Archie still in lockdown. I’m still not feeling great honestly.
Got the SketchUp Intermediate course remade for 2022 so that’s another win for the business and both those courses are now completely up to date.
I took a few online courses - especially while I was sick, which has helped my thinking and planning for what to do next. This included Justin Welsh’s courses on LinkedIn and Virginia Kerr’s course on making better video (especially reels).
Have decided to formally split my brand in two:
• SketchUp tips and design stuff (TLDC)
• Business tips and content related to that (CLR)
Just made this change a few days ago so will see how this goes moving forward and whether having more clearly defined content will help both sides grow better.
Garden is in a complete mess because of plumbing works still continuing. It has rained almost the whole of March so they have been slow with this and it’s all muddy and gross. Had an underpinned around who has told us that putting in the internal stairs is going to cost a fortune so we’ve abandoned that idea now. I remade the floor plan AGAIN as a result of this and I actually think I do prefer it as all the living spaces will now open to the garden.
Looking forward - plan this month
Focus this month:
New brand and getting that all set up and working well, Remake SketchUp Webinar, Start to remake business courses for wider audience and project plan this out, do the owner builder course
Projects this month:
☐ Update SketchUp webinar and automation funnel + advertise this better (and put more value in it)
☐ Update ads - more reels style ads
☐ Weekly video posting to YouTube
☐ New brand split
☐ Plan out business course for new branding
☐ Daily reels on both CLR and TLDC
☐ Owner builder course
Goals this month:
☐ $150K in revenue
☐ SketchUp webinar remake
☐ Daily blog posts
☐ Daily reels CLR
☐ Daily reels TLDC
☐ Weekly YT videos
☐ Business courses - project plan + get started
☐ Owner builder course
What would make this month amazing?
Get my new brands all sorted out and working well. Reels every day on both IG and see what happens with this. Remake SketchUp webinar and promote this once it’s made
