Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and I'm so glad you're here. As we turn the calendar to November, we're also turning a powerful new page in your business journey. This month kicks off a transformative four-part series all about strategic goal setting for 2026. And today, we're diving into something that can make or break your long-term success—strategic planning. This isn't just about making a to-do list. This is about creating a vision, a roadmap, and a system that supports your mission and protects your energy. In this episode, I'm breaking down why strategic planning is essential for long-term business success—especially for small business owners, solopreneurs, and service providers who are serious about building sustainable momentum. I share how strategy reduces overwhelm, helps you say no with confidence, and builds a system that grows your business (without burning you out). We'll also explore what real strategy looks like with practical examples and how you can start aligning your daily actions with your bigger goals. Plus, I introduce you to The Entrepreneur Incubator, my done-with-you experience designed to walk you through building a custom content strategy with expert support and accountability. Let's get intentional together. ⏱️ Timestamps + Segment Breakdown: (00:00) Welcome & Series Introduction (01:30) What Strategic Planning Really Means (03:00) Strategy Helps You Say "No" with Purpose (05:30) Build Systems for Growth, Not Just Hustle (07:15) SMART Goals with Real Strategy (08:30) Strategic Planning Builds Confidence & Reduces Overwhelm 💬 Final Thoughts We're heading into the final stretch of the year, and this is your invitation to pause, reflect, and be intentional about where you're going. Strategic planning is how we shift from surviving to thriving. It's how we stop spinning in circles and start moving in alignment—with clarity and purpose. This isn't about perfection; it's about direction. Whether your 2025 felt full of momentum or a bit chaotic, now is the time to recalibrate and design a 2026 that feels more focused, sustainable, and true to your mission. You don't need more hustle—you need more strategy. And I'm here to help you make it happen. ✨ Special Announcements & Links 🎯 Free 30-Hour EmpowerHer Discovery Session https://calendar.app.google/znZrWCuHtGvHHkwr9 🗂 New Entrepreneur Incubator Program https://channerconsulting.com/entrepreneur-incubator/ 📬 Subscribe for regular content on building a marketing plan, strategy, and tips that serve your business. 📱 Connect with me: LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram 📧 Get in touch: [email protected]
