The 2026 Business
Reset Guide + Planner...

By Judette Coward

By Judette Coward

Planning for the success of your business in the New Year isn’t light work, it offers endless chances to stumble, but just as many to soar. It’s about choosing to

Reflect, Reset, and Rise

one intentional thought, one brave action at a time.

When you sit down to plan, you’re not just filling out boxes or writing pretty goals — you’re getting clear. Clear on what you want. Clear on what matters. →Clear on where your business is actually heading. Planning is how you slow down long enough to name your small-business goals with intention, map your growth strategy, and give your ideas a place to live that aren’t at the back of your mind.

Why Planning Matters

You’ve poured your heart, your money, and no small amount of grit into your business— it deserves a path that’s mapped on purpose, not made up as you go.

That’s what the 2026 Business Reset Guide + Planner is:

A roadmap. A structured system. A reset built to help you move into the new year with clarity and confidence

HI, I’M JUDETTE.

The Number One question I get from my clients and peers: “How do you put out so much content, products, offers, and courses?”

I'm determined for you to see the SUCCESS that comes with PROPER SMALL BUSINESS PLANNING.

But the follow-up is always this kicker: “Do you ever stop working?”

Listen, I get it—productivity can look like hustle, but there’s much more to it than that.

I work hard, sure, but I also work smart, and I’m a queen when it comes to planning.

I put my planning workbooks on overdrive, and when things don’t go as expected, I  take a much-needed reset before getting back on track.  I keep moving forward on a success path because I took the time to plan.

I believe you can too. How do I know?

After years of running a successful online business, mentoring 10,000 entrepreneurs weekly via my newsletters and training, and working with small business owners across the globe, one thing is clear: those who succeed know how to plan.

Your Business Deserves a Plan, Not A Guess 

The process of planning isn’t about perfection —it’s about reflection, intention, directionand execution

I’ve built a profitable. online business. And I live a full life just because I set aside time to plan out my goals. I love helping others do the same.

If you’re ready, I’ll help you make the most of what’s ahead. Start with the 2026 Business Reset Guide + Planner.

I used the Judette’s first small buisness planning template in 2017, and it was exactly what I needed to get started building my dream business after my stint in corporate.  

Then the world shut down and I had to keep readjusting. I downloaded Judette’s planner so many times. It was  practical, inspiring, and what I needed to keep going and get through.

PLANNING

The Winging it plan may be ok-ish…until it begins to fall apart.

 Until you look up and realise your “go-with-the-flow” approach…

…isn’t steering the direction of your business at all. 

Until you realise “planning” is the only strategy vehicle you need

And if you’re not mapping your goals, numbers, and priorities
in a year where everything is shifting under your feet…

… then HELLOOOO, friend—
we’ve got a problem.

Le sigh.

ESPECIALLY if you’ve got dreams of growing something solid in 2026.

After all … ever heard any of the this?
→  Here are the 3 of the BIGGEST myths  small  business owners hear every day about planning.

YOU MUST PLAN ALL 12 MONTHS BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGIN

Yikes.

This is how founders overwhelm themselves before January is even over.

Planning isn’t about predicting the whole year.
It’s about understanding  your big vision, your targets, your growth priorities, and your capacity so you can move with intention.

And its about taking that macro into the micro.

A  good planner doesn’t gives you room to move, breathe, make mistakes and reset the way forward. It should never lock you in.

A PRETTY PLANNER = A FRESH START

lolololol—if only.

A new notebook is cute, but it’s not a system.

If you’re walking into the year with pretty pages in a pretty book, and no process for reviewing last year, setting priorities, mapping your revenue, and turning goals into weekly action… nothing really shifts.

A true fresh start comes from a framework that holds your vision, your numbers, and your next steps in one place, not just prettier place.

YOU NEED A “WORD OF THE YEAR” TO FEEL ORGANIZED

Bless it, I love a good word.
But none of them have ever paid my bills.

A word is inspiring.
A plan is powerful.

Vibes won’t build your year.
Systems will.

SEE RELATED—

01

“Every January I set goals… and by March I can’t even find the notebook I wrote them in.”

02

“I map out Q1 perfectly… and then abandon ship the moment life gets busy.”

03

“I set revenue goals, but I genuinely have no clue what needs to happen monthly—or weekly—to hit them.”

04

“I buy planners because they feel like a fresh start… but I never follow through after week two.”

05

“I want the year to feel calm and structured, but everything keeps ending up last-minute, reactive, and chaotic.”

06

“I track nothing, decide late, and then wonder why everything feels heavy.”

IF EVEN JUST ONE OF THOSE STATEMENTS JABS YOU RIGHT IN THE FEELS

& MAKES YOU NOD A LITTLE TOO HARD… IT’S TIME TO—

…stop treating planning like a yearly something to do
and start treating it like a system that actually carries your business.

It’s time to use a calm, clear, repeatable planning method—one that helps you map the numbers, the priorities, and the rhythm your business needs…
without turning your year into a pressure cooker or a guessing game.

Because the moment you understand what to track (income, expenses, effort, results), what to plan (priorities, projects, sales activity), and what to let go (offers, tasks, and habits that drain you)…
the new year stops feeling overwhelming — and starts feeling possible.

"I'M SPILLING THE BEANS—"

THE ISLAND GIRL BEHIND THE STRATEGY + SYSTEMS

If your “plan” for the year isn’t built on real numbers, clear priorities, and an honest look at your capacity, it’s a sand-castle blueprint. ⬅️⬅️ I learned that in my corporate communications  consulting career … entrepreneurship just sealed the deal.

Buying a fresh planner, writing big goals, and colour-coding your calendar?
That trifecta does not automatically equal a solid year in business.

QUIT THINKING THAT A FULLER PLANNER MEANS A BETTER YEAR. IT DOES NOT.

I heart-eye love planning. 😍
I love planners built on proven systems that work.
freaking love mapping out a year on paper.
Pretty much decided that the minute I built my first physical content planner for small business owners back in 2017 and sold thousands.

And to this day..
…Since I stopped  the “do more, fill more boxes” culture that once burnt me out,  I want planning that feels like calm power for your business—call it ethical planning if you like. If that’s not a thing yet, it is now.

THE ISLAND GIRL BEHIND THE STRATEGY + SYSTEMS

If you plan it well, success is a given, it depends

And the more I build my small business & work as an online entrepreneur,
it’s obvious to me: when you’re not planning with a system, you’re not planning at all.

Because systems sets structure.
And structure allows you to win
Big time.

Because systems sets structure.
And structure allows you to win
Big time.

⬆️ Planning is part of small business success that most founders skip ⬆️

Let’s talk about PLANNING that creates PROGRESS.

Every time you sit down to create a plan for your business or your life, you should leave the process feeling inspired, ready to take action, and deeply connected to your purpose.

Let’s be real—running a business can be messy.

There are moments when the growth stalls, the sales plateau, and you’re pouring in effort without seeing the results.

It’s exhausting, right?

Why Small Businesses Need A Solid Plan

plan is like a small business roadmap. Once done well, it changes everything.

Whether it’s sketching out your next business move, designing a budget that’s actually practical, or crafting a strategy that brings clarity…

…You need resources that help you understand where you are, where you’ve been, and where you want to go— to achieve your small business goals.

Let me give you a map to get there.

I’m all about transforming fluffy ideas into action-packed realities.

-Here’s The Truth-

Dreams can’t sprout wings without reflection, intention, direction and execution.

Planning your success path shouldn’t feel  overwhelming. But I get it. It can turn ou to be quite the opposite.

But what if resetting your goals and finding an accountability system to make sure you followed through felt as natural as breathing…

…a rhythm you could return to again and again, no matter where you are in the year?

That’s Why I Created the 2026 Business Reset Guide + Planner

This isn’t just a strategy. It’s a reset, a workbook, an action guide, a system.

Wherever you are, this guide is your blueprint for clarityfocus, and progress with the  start of the year being the most powerful time to reset.

PLANNING IS
PROGRESS

Plan Like a Pro: Real-World Planning, A Tangible Tool, and Guided Strategy You Can Actually Stick To

There is an actual strategy behind The 2026 Business Reset Guide + Planner  and if you want to have a GROWTH  in the year ahead.

—not just be popular & posting.

Then the 2026 Business Reset Guide should be on your desk or your tablet.

This strategy is mine.

And it works.

You don’t just need focus to reach cash flow; you need a system that makes that focus sustainable.

A planning system is the lifeblood of your small business.

There is no Plan B without it.

Which begs the question:

Are You Entering 2026 With A Growth Plan You Can Actually Stick To?

This is the time to remember why you started down this crazy, beloved path …

… (when it would be so much easier to grab the box of Cheez-its & binge-watch rewatch Sex And The City; original version please ) …

… it’s time to get started with a plan that can help your business succeed with the resources you have in hand.

2026 is the year to reset and move forward.

The 2026 Business Reset Guide + Planner comes with a system to meet you where you are:

By the time you finish the 2026 Business Reset Guide + Planner, you’ll have a clear 12-month sketch of your year: the major priorities, the projects that matter, the budgets that underpin them and the timing for execution that makes sense for the rhythm of your business.

You’ll lay the foundation to align what you want to accomplish with what’s realistically possible as you move through the annual planning pages… including the exact sketch I use myself (yes, the one sitting on my desk right now).

Once that’s in place,  you’ll see how to reverse-engineer your year by visually spacing out your goals and projects using my quarterly planning framework.

You’ll finish with your overarching annual map done,  alongside your quarterly focus areas that match the rhythm your business needs.

The best part?

You can map out your whole year now…and nothing else
then, every three months, slip right back into your 2026 planner for a reset.

The macro gives you direction.
The micro keeps you moving.

HI! I'M

Judette

coward

Since the day I swapped agency deadlines for digital offers, I’ve been obsessed with one thing: helping founders turn chaos into calm, and ideas into income, through simple systems that actually work.

Over 10,000 students via my weekly newsletter, scores of coaching clients, and multiple launches later, I’ve learned exactly what helps a founder stop spinning their wheels and start building a business that feels as good as it looks.

I help founders create mindset shifts and create planning habits that help them map out a New Year with intention—without burnout, spreadsheet overload, or another round of “winging it and hoping it works.”

And yes, I could’ve easily tucked the 2026 Business Reset Guide + Planner into a high-ticket programme…

…but I’m done watching brilliant founders sabotage their success with last-minute plans.
…I’m over seeing strategy get replaced by aesthetics.
…and I’m tired of creative women and small business founders hustling without structure, a plan, or a working budget—no matter how big or small their goals are.

I believe in clarity. I believe in calm.I believe in action rooted in vision and the only work that moves the needle.

And I believe every founder deserves to build a business that runs with purpose, passion, profit built on a good plan.

Still Curious?
We've Got Answers

Q1

What makes this planner different from every other business planner out there?

Q2

Is it physical or digital guide and plannerr?

Q3

How long does it take to work through the Business Reset Guide + Planner?

A1

Most planners tell you to “dream big” and then leave you alone in the messy middle. This one walks beside you through it. It guides you from big-picture vision to micro steps, mapped out quarter by quarter, month by month, week by week.

A2

All of the above. I turned  the downlaodable into a gorgeous printed planner because I still believe in pen-to-paper magic. You can print yours too or download the digital version to your tablet reader for instant access. Flexibility is the name of the game.

A3

Take any part of January, reflect and plan your big vision goals. But the Reset Guide has plenty of room for quarterly planning which you can do every 3 months. If a planner is not flexible it’s not worth it.

Q4

Can I gift it to another founder?

Q5

What if I don’t know what I want next year to look like yet?

A4

Yes! It makes the perfect “new year + new plan” gift. If you know this will be sent as a gift, after your order reach out to help@forwardforty.com and get a digital gift card template so you can make your gesture feel super special.

A5

Start slowly. The early pages in the Business Reset Guide and Planner are built for reflection, guiding you to unpack what worked, what didn’t, and what feels right for 2026. It’s a gentle start that will get you on the path you need to be…

THIS  PRICE IS RIDICULOUSLY LOW FOR A REASON

Because when you’re rebuilding, resetting, or finally getting serious about your next season,
the last thing you need

” I want you to actually plan your year using the exact  system I implement in my business — and do it 
from a place of peace, purpose + profit “

There’s SO MUCH transformation waiting for you on the other side of The 2026 Business Rest Guide and Planner  and because my main goal is your success, I’m not afraid to hold you accountable as your number one  planning  hype woman.
