Planning 2026 (Part 1): The 5 Essential & Strategic Steps I & My Clients Use

from Imperfectly Impactful with Cat Roten · host Catherine Roten

Most people plan their year from a place of obligation, over-functioning, and blind optimism. In this episode, I lay the strategic foundation for planning & designing 2026 in a way that actually works, with desires that serve your life, not steal from it. You’ll walk away with a clear framework to assess what needs to go, what needs to be completed, and what kind of life you’re actually building your business to support. What You’ll Learn: The #1 planning mistake even seasoned entrepreneurs make in Q1 (and what to do instead). How to audit your calendar to uncover hidden energetic drains. Why I don’t believe in vision casting without infrastructure to hold it. 5 foundational decisions to anchor your year in sustainability, not stress. You can’t create alignment by accident. You need desires, intentions, & a structure that supports your energy, your family, your business, and your next evolution.
