not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been streaming with my gf for the last couple of months xD

[@mylessilas5141]

@Colin Niko yea, been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself =)

Wow, what a fabulous video! Thank you soooo much for breaking things down from brainstorming to project planning, to where to put it in your planner! After spending a year with Happy Planner products, I realized that I needed a system focused on functionality. Thank you!

I love the way you organize your planner to keep yourself on track.

This was a great refresher for my master planner, since I realized I haven't been using my project planner or brain dump sections of my planner. I'm not being intentional enough since I'm enrolled in a couple of courses right now and everything is planned already in a syllabus, but it made me lazy and I'm just using the calendar part to skim by week to week. I'm glad you're posting more of this series! Thank you!

[@brittanij.3814]

Thank you for this. I am actually in the process of getting to know myself to assist me in being more intentional about my business ventures.

Great tips, I'm a new subscriber. I love your drive and purpose! You can't let the learning get in the way of the doing❤️ That's always been an issue for me.

Wonderful video! Entrepreneurship is so rewarding. I created a video on how to be an entrepreneur in 2019, and this is so inspiring! Congrats on your business and channel! Keep up the good work! 🔑

[@My_Royal_Life]

This definitely gave me some things to think about. Thank you!

[@EdieBrown]

Thanks for bringing this back. It took me from a sub to a customer 😊😊😊

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Well that is good to hear! Let me know what topics you’d like me to cover in the series!

[@EdieBrown]

@@MissTrenchcoat I'd like to learn about blogging and brainstorming.

Hello Alexis. I always enjoy your videos and you have built a great planner process. I keep my 5/8 disc planner plus a larger 8.5/11 disc planner converted for notes on major projects-some being client notes rather than storing client file folders. However, it’s not working well. Not enough room for all the project and client notes. Believe it or not, I am considering going back to project and client binders, but resisting because of the rings and weight, and maintenance of multiple binders. Just getting this off my chest, but if you have any ideas, I would love to hear them. I think it’s time to read David Allen’s books again and rethink my organization tools.

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Patricia Muir Well one quick idea would be to move to digital if there is too much heft in paper storage.

[@PatriciaMuirMaestroQ]

Alexis aka MissTrenchcoat Yes, I need to rethink use of a hybrid system again. Thank you

How would you suggest or recommend assessing income goals for new entrepreneurs or those with a slow side hustle when you aren't sure of the income that they would provide, or you are releasing something you haven't sold before? I am always fascinated with choosing projects that are going to enable me to provide that income, but also I am guessing it's as the process goes with early entrepreneurship its about trial and error and getting that feedback, and statistics so you have a metric of measuring those sales and successes against your financial draw in?

[@MissTrenchcoat]

If you are just starting out and don’t have many products or services, that’s probably where you want to start- developing those. But once you have things to sell and you know the price points I still think you should set income goals and break it down by how much x you need to sell to make $. Even if you don’t hit the income goals you would still be making progress bc the point of the breakdown is to get you focused on the marketing you will do to get eyes on your product and ideas for how to sell that offer. If you struggle with this- I highly recommend checking out my Empire Building course! I go in detail on marketing, content, audience building and selling

Cool video as usual! Where can we find those vertical turquoise stickies?

[@MissTrenchcoat]

On the shop! Link in description

[@Linallarii]

Do you offer your master planner without bounding? As sheets for example i use disc based planner and or ring binder.

[@CM-yo9jk]

Excellent video & content. Does anyone know what kind of 'filter' Alexis has used in the video, with the items in the background in soft focus. It looks really nice. Just curious. Thanks.

[@MissTrenchcoat]

C S It’s not a filter, it’s depth of field created by my lens, 35mm f2

[@soumyabhattacharjee99]

mam how to purchase your books??

[@tortagialla]

I think sometimes it’s hard to have one system for business and life combined. I find it difficult in that aspect... I struggle with two kids schedules, etc... home stuff family stuff and business projects. how to have one book to rule it all!? 😬

[@MissTrenchcoat]

Linda Tieu Q: Is all of the “stuff” plans and tasks or is some of it reference? Like things to consult while planning? That stuff could be moved to a reference binder so that your planner shows only what you have to act on.

[@tortagialla]

Alexis aka MissTrenchcoat I agree a home binder works great. I mean also tasks and being able to have a birds ehe view to see things together. I suppose it might be too much! I end up using different calendars
