A 2027 planner made for women in business
If you run a business around school runs, family, a day job, caring, or just LIFE, you need a planner that gets it. One that doesn’t assume you’ve got eight uninterrupted hours a day to work on your marketing.
Hi, I’m Claire
I’m the founder of The Girls Mean Business™. I’ve built a six-figure business, and I’ve spent over a decade helping women build businesses that fit around their lives. You might have seen me in The Guardian, the Huffington Post, on BBC Radio 2 or on The Apprentice.
I do it here in Yorkshire, with my husband, our teenage daughter, Meggie the dog and a flock of rescue chickens. Life is very much lifeing!
I made my very first Awesome Marketing Planner for 2017, because I needed it. And 2027 is its 10-year anniversary edition.
What makes it right for women in business
It fits around your life
No hour-by-hour schedules. Each week has room for every day and your win of the week. Each month asks a few simple questions. And if you fall off the wagon, you just pick up where you left off.
It talks about money, kindly
Your sales target, broken down so it feels doable. Your daily cash flow, so you can see what came in and what you kept. And a page on selling without feeling salesy, because so many of us find that the hardest bit.
It’s got your back on the wobbly days
There’s a mind-monkey squashing page for the days your brain tries to talk you out of it, and a page to collect the lovely things people say about you and your business. Read it when you need it.
You’re not doing it alone
The planner Facebook group is full of other women in business using the same planner: sharing wins, asking questions and cheering each other on all through 2027.
If you know The Girls Mean Business, you’ll know my little ladies. You’ll find them popping up around the planner, the app and the Portal, keeping you motivated and keeping an eye on you!
