Running a beauty business isn’t just about perfecting your technique – it’s also about staying intentional, consistent, and aligned with your bigger vision. That’s why monthly planning is one of the most powerful tools I use not only to stay on track but to grow.

As we step into a new month, I want to share how I reflect, plan, and reset – and how you can too.

Step 1: Reflect on the Month Just Gone

 Before setting any new goals, I always take a moment to look back:

• What went well?

• What did I learn?

• What felt aligned, and what felt forced?

• Did I hit any of my goals or milestones?

This reflection helps me celebrate the small wins and learn from what didn’t go to plan – because both are equally important.

Step 2: Set Clear & Aligned Goals

Once I’ve reflected, I write down 3–5 goals for the new month. These might be focused on:

• Business growth (like signing up new students or booking more clients)

• Content strategy (posting consistently or improving engagement)

• Personal development (like sticking to a new routine or journaling regularly)

Make sure your goals aren’t just pretty on paper – they need to align with the long-term life and business you’re building.

Step 3: Break Them Down

 Big goals can feel overwhelming, which is why I break mine down into weekly actions:

• If I want to gain 50 new Instagram followers, I plan how many Reels to post, what type of content performs best, and how I’ll engage with my audience each day.

• If I want to grow my email list, I map out what freebie I’ll promote, how I’ll talk about it, and where I’ll share it.

This step gives me clarity and structure – so I’m not waking up each day wondering what I should be doing.

Step 4: Check In With Your Vision

Monthly planning isn’t just about ticking tasks off a to-do list. It’s about realigning with the bigger picture.

What kind of life and business are you trying to build? What do freedom, success, and fulfilment look like for you? Every action you take should move you one step closer.

When you work with intention, you build momentum. And with momentum comes results.

Whether you’re a lash artist, beauty therapist or running a fully booked salon, this practice of monthly reflection and planning can change everything. Don’t underestimate the power of small, consistent steps.

This month, start strong. Dream bigger. And build a business that truly works for you.
