If you want 2026 to look different than 2025, this episode is where that shift begins. Today, I’m walking you step-by-step through the 2025 Business Audit Worksheet and showing you how to look at last year honestly — without judgment, without overwhelm, and without getting stuck in the past. This isn’t busy work or a reflective exercise for the sake of reflection. It’s about understanding what actually happened in your business so you can make grounded, confident decisions about where you’re going next. You can’t build your next chapter without understanding the last one, and this episode gives you the structure to do exactly that.

WHY THIS EPISODE MATTERS:
So many designers want clarity for the year ahead, but clarity doesn’t come from guessing, hoping, or planning based on emotion. It comes from data, patterns, and honest reflection. This episode helps you slow down, pull your business over to the side of the road, and assess what really happened in 2025 — so you’re not building 2026 on assumptions, habits, or outdated models. Looking back isn’t about staying stuck. It’s about choosing your next move with intention.
If listening to this episode surfaced questions about your numbers, pricing, offers, or next steps, that’s exactly where real growth begins. I offer a free 15-minute problem-solving session to help you translate what you’re seeing in your audit into clear, actionable decisions for 2026. No pressure, no scripts — just clarity. You can book that conversation at fixmydesignbiz.com. Your business should support your life, not consume it.
