My five-year plan is basically this:

My five-year plan is basically this:
Booking dream pieces months in advance and raising my prices without losing sleep over it. Not because I’m chasing more, but because I finally trust my pricing.

Co-running three shops without living inside all three. Systems that hold up when I’m not standing in the doorway.

Actually being there for my daughter when she gets out of school.

For a long time I thought I’d get there by working harder. More hours, more clients, more yes.

It took me years to see that the plan doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from building something that doesn’t need all of me to keep running.

23 years in, and the plan isn’t some far-off finish line anymore. It’s showing up now.

If you want to build a plan like this for yourself, comment or DM COACH.
