Build your business around your life. Let the numbers guide you.
Step 1 of 7
Lifestyle Design
Before you set a single financial goal, decide what your life is going to look like. This is the foundation everything else is built on.
Your Working Week
Total days you give to your business
Days reserved for seeing clients only
Cannot exceed your working days
Average hours you can give each day
—
Your Non-Negotiables
These protect your life while you build your business. Write them down and honour them.
Reflect before you continue
What does a genuinely good week look like for you, not just in your business but in your whole life?
If your schedule got full tomorrow, what is the first thing you would regret not protecting?
What are you building this business around? The answer belongs in your non-negotiables.
"Put your outdoor work in order and get your fields ready; after that, build your house."
Proverbs 24:27
This verse reflects the importance of structure, preparation, and sustainable sequencing. For marketplace leaders and business owners, it reinforces that building a meaningful life and business requires intentional order before expansion. Healthy leadership starts with designing a stable foundation rather than reacting impulsively to pressure or ambition.
Step 2 of 7
The Time Audit
Not all of your working hours are client-facing hours. This step gets honest about where your time goes and what truly remains — then builds a realistic, sustainable client schedule.
Hours Breakdown
Allocate your weekly hours across each activity. What remains is your raw client-facing capacity before we apply realistic limits.

—
Your allocated hours exceed your total. Adjust the numbers above.
Session Preferences
30 min
Time for client notes, a drink of water, and mental reset. Do not skip this.

Be honest. This is about sustainable delivery, not maximum possible output.
Your Realistic Capacity
Based on your available hours, session length, buffer time, and daily limit — not an unrealistic back-to-back count.

Sessions per day

Sessions per week

Sessions per month

Burnout Risk Detected
Reflect before you continue
What haven't you mentioned that you regularly do in your business? Think about discovery calls, pre-session preparation, follow-up emails after sessions, and onboarding new clients.
What might you be taking for granted that actually takes up more time than you give credit for?
When do you feel most depleted in your week, and what is usually causing it?
"Be very careful, then, how you live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil."
Ephesians 5:15-16
This passage calls leaders to live with wisdom, awareness, and intentional stewardship of time. For marketplace leaders, it speaks to avoiding distracted busyness and instead using time purposefully in alignment with calling, responsibility, and Kingdom assignment.
Step 3 of 7
Personal Income Target
What does your life actually cost to run? This is Part A of your real monthly target. Be honest. This is not the place for wishful thinking or minimising.

Reflect before you continue
What are you currently going without that you should have included here?
What do you usually minimise in your own budget that you would never minimise for a client?
In twelve months, what would financial peace actually look and feel like for you?
"Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds."
Proverbs 27:23
In biblical wisdom literature, flocks represented economic resources and long-term provision. For business leaders, this verse emphasises financial awareness, responsible stewardship, and knowing the true condition of what has been entrusted to them rather than leading blindly or emotionally.
Step 4 of 7
Business Running Costs
How much does your business cost you each month? Most coaches cannot answer this question. By the end of this step, you will be able to.
The Question You Need to Answer
Is this a business that happens to cost money, or is it an expensive hobby that occasionally makes some?
The difference is not the tools. The difference is whether you have a revenue goal attached to every expense on this list.

Reflect before you continue
What do you pay for that you did not include because it felt too small to count? Small costs compound.
What did you invest in this year that you have not yet recouped?
If your business had to pay for itself starting tomorrow, would it survive?
"By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures."
Proverbs 24:3-4
This verse highlights that sustainable building requires wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. For marketplace leaders, it reinforces that businesses are not strengthened through vision alone, but through wise systems, sound decisions, and understanding the true costs required to build something lasting.
Step 5 of 7
Your Real Monthly Target
This is the number your business must generate each month for you to be genuinely profitable, not just active.

The Conviction Question
You are already paying for this business every single month.
The only question left is whether you are going to make it pay you back.
Every offer you build in the next step must be priced with this number in mind. Not what feels comfortable. Not what others are charging. What your life and your business actually require.
Step 6 of 7
Your Offer Mix
Build your offer suite. Each card works both ways — enter price and quantity to see your revenue, or enter a revenue goal to see how many clients or sales you need.
Add an Offer
Name each offer specifically. A named offer is a real offer.
No offers added yet. Use the buttons above to build your offer suite.
Monthly Target$0
Projected Revenue$0
Gap$0
Reflect before you continue
Which of your offers requires the most energy from you relative to what it earns?
Where are you underpricing because you are afraid, not because the value is not there?
What would you stop selling if you knew you had permission to?
"The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."
Proverbs 21:5
This verse directly connects diligence, intentional planning, and sustainable increase. For marketplace leaders, it reinforces that healthy business growth comes through thoughtful strategy and consistent stewardship rather than reactive decisions, hurry, or emotional urgency.
Step 7 of 7
Your Business Blueprint
This is your complete picture. Print it. Keep it. Build from it.
Faithful Stewards of God's Grace
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10
Business ability, leadership, and creativity are gifts entrusted by God for service and stewardship. This blueprint is not merely a financial plan. It is a declaration of how you intend to use what you have been given.

"Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."
Proverbs 16:3
This verse frames planning as an act of surrender and stewardship rather than self-dependence. For marketplace leaders, it reinforces that vision, strategy, and business planning are healthiest when submitted to God with humility, trust, and a desire to build in alignment with His purposes.
