Forget New Year’s resolutions — this is about intentional direction. In this episode of Hustle Humbly, Katy and Alissa share how choosing a guiding word, setting aligned goals, and creating a realistic plan can shape your mindset and your business all year long.

Whether you’re goal-obsessed or allergic to planning, this episode will help you create structure that actually feels good — and works.

1. Pick a Word That Grounds You

Your “word of the year” is more than a slogan — it’s your filter for decisions, focus, and energy.

• Choose a word that reflects what you need, not just what sounds trendy.
• Keep it simple: peace, growth, consistency, boundaries, abundance, joy.
• Write it where you’ll see it — planner, lock screen, office wall.

2. Set Goals You Can Actually Reach

Goals should guide, not guilt. Katy and Alissa share their personal systems for setting achievable goals that align with their word of the year.

• Pick 1 business goal, 1 personal goal, and 1 systems goal.
• Break each down into quarterly milestones.
• Celebrate progress — not just completion.

3. Make a Plan That Fits Real Life

Plans only work if you’ll actually use them. Choose tools that match your personality, not someone else’s routine.

• Planner or digital calendar? Pick what you’ll stick to.
• Use visual cues — color codes, reminders, trackers.
• Schedule planning time: 15 minutes weekly, 30 minutes monthly.

4. Keep It Simple and Sustainable

Big transformations come from small, consistent actions. You don’t need a 30-page goal binder. You need focus and follow-through.

• Don’t overcomplicate — clarity beats volume.
• Review your goals monthly, not yearly.
• Grace > perfection. Missed a day? Start again tomorrow.

5. Katy & Alissa’s Words of the Year

They share their personal words of the year and how those choices shaped their decision-making, energy, and confidence. You’ll hear how those simple choices created ripple effects across their business and life.
