Are you often late, but you always have a good reason? Do you show up to birthday parties with no gift, or scramble to Target drive-up on the way? Do you think a lot about what you "need to do" in a day, but you forget when it's time? I know what it's like to feel scattered, overwhelmed and stressed. But maybe, it's not your life that's actually overwhelming. Maybe it's that you have zero plan.  I'm Janie Porter, wife and mom of 4, and it's my passion to help you find joy and purpose in your life. Just like you, I have a complex and busy life. My husband owns his own company, we don't have family nearby, I have a thriving coaching business and our 4 kids are active and busy. But I will tell you this: I rarely feel stressed or overwhelmed by my life. And it's because I have a plan. In this episode, I'll share that exact plan with you, and how you can build it into your life. You'll also get an action plan for guarding your family's schedule, learn exactly how to say no to commitments that don't give you life and discover my step-by-step method for creating a plan that works for you and your life, not that you work for.  Building a life you love starts with controlling your calendar. You are in charge! Own your noes to protect your yeses. Your "yes" should be expensive; it should be a high-value commodity. Stop giving it away.
