Are you tired of setting too many goals, getting overwhelmed, and then losing momentum?

In this class, you’ll learn a simple, sustainable system for setting intentional goals for your creative business, ones that actually stick without the burnout.

Through guided reflection, SMART goal-setting, and quarterly planning (with a little help from AI), I’ll walk you through my own goal-setting process step by step.

You’ll learn how to turn big-picture visions into 2–3 realistic focus areas, set measurable annual goals, break them into quarterly priorities, and organise everything with a visual tool like Trello, Notion, or Canva - whatever works best for you.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to:

Reflect on your past business wins and challenges to identify what truly drives growth.
Use ChatGPT prompts to brainstorm and structure your creative business goals.
Define 2–3 annual focus areas and set SMART goals for each.
Break your annual goals into quarterly priorities you can realistically achieve.
Turn those quarterly goals into manageable, actionable tasks using a visual board.
Create your own quarterly plan using the provided Goal-Setting Template.

Why You Should Take This Class

Many creatives and small business owners set too many goals, and end up feeling scattered, stuck, or burned out.

I know, because I used to do the same, until I created a simple quarterly system that helped me stay focused and actually make progress.

This class isn’t about hustling harder or chasing a hundred goals. It’s about clarity, focus, and sustainable growth. Whether you’re a freelancer, creative entrepreneur, or solopreneur, you’ll leave with a plan you can start using right away - one that feels calm, realistic, and genuinely motivating.

Who This Class is For

This class is designed for:

Creative entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and freelancers who feel overwhelmed by traditional goal-setting.
Small business owners who want to make steady progress without burning out.
Anyone curious about using ChatGPT and simple visual tools to support their planning.

No prior AI or project management experience is required - just bring your business goals and a willingness to simplify.

Materials/Resources

To help you succeed, I’ve included:

A lite business version of my Goal-Setting Template (designed just for this class).
A ChatGPT Prompt Sheet with copy-and-paste examples you can reuse every quarter.

All resources are available in the “Projects & Resources” tab for easy download.

See you in class! :)
