It's time to sit down and make a plan for 2026! You might be thinking, "wow, this feels really early?" But truthfully, I think the best way to set yourself up for failure is to wait until the last moment to look ahead. I did this entire process during a travel day filled with delays. I promise, it's not as intense as it sounds!

First, I want to reflect on the year you just had. What was your best month? What about your worst? When did you feel like your creative energy was flowing and how was that reflected in your revenue? What were your goals this year? Did you achieve them? After we've taken the time to assess the year that's coming to a close, we can take an honest look at the year ahead.

The best method I've found for yearly planning is to start with a big thing and reverse engineer. Set a revenue goal, even if making more money this year is not your main goal. Even if your want to make the exact same amount next year, you should set the goal to repeat the income differently. This way, you're not shutting down your creativitity in proportion to your monetary goals.

Here's the thing: we want our goals to be data-driven, not vibe based. You should be able to look back at old campaigns and pinpoint what worked and what didn't. This will literally be reflected in the numbers! You know the money you need to make. You may not know the exact how that will get you there, but that's why we reverse engineeer from that number.

Once you have those numbers in place, you can start outlining your campaigns. Here's the thing: this is just an outline! Timelines can change. But having a rough idea will give you the foresight to manage your energy and give yourself the necessary time to plan, energize and execute!

Instagram stories are my favorite place to re-engage an audience. So today, I'm taking you through the strategies that actually work for me and my clients. Because here's the thing: the average story view rate drops 20% with every tap. So if you want your stories to drive people to your DMs and drive sales, you need to be intentional.

Your stories aren't a place to talk at your audience. Instead, you want to chat with them. This looks like using the engagement tools Instagram provides and actually following through in the DMs, even if it's just one person that shows up at first. Beyond simply using the tools, I'm telling you exactly how I like to use them. Because a question box is simply less effective if it's used to push complicated questions your audience doesn't feel like answering! And their are ways to use these tools that actually prompt the algorithm to share your stories with more people.

So we'll be covering strategies that will awaken your current audience and get more eyes on your stories in general. Have you ever thought about treating your stories the same way you would a reel? Have you given any thought to pacing and what you can do to mitigate audience fatigue? If not, now is the time.

From story sequencing to pacing tips, there are simple ways you can take the guessing game out of stories. And soon enough, you'll actually be building the community you long for.

In today's episode, we're chatting about:

• Things I'm seeing that are NOT working on Instagram stories
• Why you should start story sequencing
• My engagement-bait tip for the first story you share each day
• The side CTA strategy
• Campaign specific tips
