Between business projects, marketing ideas, family responsibilities, and everything else, we're carrying around a LOT of mental tabs! And sometimes, the answer isn't another productivity hack. So this month, we're trying something new: The Open Tabs Reset! It's a simple monthly planning and accountability system to help you make meaningful progress in your business AND life, without adding more to your already full plate. 👉 HERE'S HOW IT WORKS 1. Empty your tabs. Brain-dump everything competing for your attention, personally and professionally. 2. Find your North Star. What would make November feel like a genuinely successful month in your business AND life? 3. Choose your three tabs. Pick up to three priorities to focus on, finish, or intentionally let go of. That's it! Here's a Google doc template to help you get started: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kGR2qNspAEdZ0t9X0v3ODZPeTVTx61kiqeCRC4wyitw/edit?usp=sharing ----- 🤖 Want some help? Let AI guide you! I've created a prompt you can paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or your favorite AI assistant. It'll walk you through the process one question at a time and help you create a realistic plan around your actual time, energy, and responsibilities. Copy this prompt: Act as my life and business planning partner. Help me complete my November Open Tabs Reset, one question at a time. First, help me brain-dump everything on my mind, personally and professionally. Then help me identify what would make November successful, choose up to three meaningful priorities, and create realistic next steps based on my actual time, energy, and responsibilities. Challenge unrealistic expectations, help me decide what can wait or be released, and don't overwhelm me with a giant to-do list. At the end, create a simple monthly summary I can save and revisit. Start by asking me what's taking up space in my head. ------ 📁 Give your plan a home.

You can have the BEST marketing strategy in the world and still not get results. Not because the strategy is bad! But because your brain keeps getting in the way. You second-guess your messaging before you hit publish. You convince yourself you need to learn one more thing before you can start. You change directions because someone on Instagram said there’s a better way. Or you spend three hours tweaking a sales page because actually selling feels uncomfortable. Here’s what I’ve learned after a decade plus of working with entrepreneurs: Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two VERY different things. 😜 And more information isn’t always the answer. Sometimes you DON’T need another strategy, course, or marketing hack. 👉 You need to figure out what’s making you avoid, overcomplicate, or abandon the things you already KNOW you should be doing. Because you can’t out-strategize a mindset that’s working against you. I’m curious: Which one gets you most often? 🧠 Overthinking everything 👻 Avoiding putting yourself out there 🔄 Constantly changing directions 😬 Knowing what to do but not actually doing it (No judgment. Our brains are very creative little troublemakers. 😂)

Ever know exactly what you should be doing in your business... but find yourself avoiding it, overthinking it, or talking yourself out of it? Sometimes the problem isn't your strategy. It's what's happening underneath it. That's what I'm talking about in my session, "What's Running Your Business?", at @Brenda Rigney's free Midlife Momentum Summit, November 16–18! I'm joining a lineup of speakers sharing practical insights to help you navigate life and business with more confidence (and hopefully a little less overwhelm). 🎉 Grab your free spot here (in Brenda's Skool community): https://www.skool.com/skool-scale-camp/about?ref=9488c05711954f9ba7bd719cc4432143 And tell me in the comments: What's one business task you KNOW you should be doing but keep putting off? No judgment. I'll go first! 😉

When business owners aren’t getting the results they want, the first instinct is usually to do MORE. Not enough leads? Post more. Not enough sales? Create another offer. Not enough time? Wake up earlier. (Absolutely not. Sleep is hard enough to come by. 😅) But more effort won’t fix the WRONG problem. Maybe your offer isn’t quite right. Maybe you’re so busy delivering that you have no time to sell. Maybe you’re trying five new strategies at once before you’ve properly tested ONE. What if the answer isn’t doing more, but doing the RIGHT things? That’s what we’re digging into in my free workshop on October 19th: More Sales. Less Hustle. Your Next 90 Days, Sorted. You’ll: ✨ Identify what’s actually slowing your growth ✨ Build a (realistic) 90-day plan focused on more leads and sales (without the extra hustle) And because I know you have a life outside of your business (the audacity! 😜), you can choose whether you join live with me OR get the workshop in bite-sized recordings. 👉 Register free (open to anyone, any level): https://www.thebluebellgroup.com/90-day-plan (Heads up: I’m considering making this paid next time, so grab your free spot now!)
