EP505: Make 2025 Your Year to Thrive! Here's How

What if creating your business plan for 2025 was actually fun and inspiring?

Well, it can be!

If you need help to turn your creative vision into a profitable business strategy with an executable business plan, you're not alone. When I started my business, I wrote a 35-page business plan that took months to complete.

Guess what? I never looked at it again. Why? Because it was complicated and uninspiring!

In today’s episode of Thrive by Design, I break down my step-by-step annual planning process into SIX actionable steps. 

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • [2:15] Why traditional business planning often fails creative entrepreneurs
  • [4:30] The complete EVOLVE methodology breakdown for strategic growth
  • [7:45] How to create a vision that drives both profit and fulfillment
  • [10:20] Practical steps to upgrade your business identity and overcome limiting beliefs
  • [12:55] Key metrics to track for inevitable success in 2025

Why Traditional Business Planning Fails Creatives

Many creative entrepreneurs struggle with business planning because they either overcomplicate it or avoid it entirely. The key is finding the sweet spot between an inspiring vision and actionable steps. Tracy reveals why creatives often get stuck in the cycle of ideation without implementation.
