How Switching to a Passion Planner Changed My Whole Life

Today, I just wanted to do a real special video to talk about Passion Planner and how using a @passionplannner changed my life. 

Back in 2017, I was working a job that I hated.  I was unsupported, with tons of impossible expectations placed upon me. I would drive to work in tears of anxiety over what they day would bring and would drive home in tears of depression knowing I would have to go back and do the same job again the next day. 

So I quit.

I just decided, one morning, “fuck it. I’m done.”

I had NO idea what I would do or where I was going to go from there. I wanted to re-start my photography business that I’d closed when I moved across the country for my husband’s job, but I had no idea where to begin.

At the time, my planning method was bullet journaling, and I thought I could take some time away from working full time to make my dream reality. 

I took some time off. I sketched out a vague plan in my bullet journal of how to reach my goal. 

And over the next few months… I got no where fast.

I tried sticking to that plan while working a job with half the hours, but somehow still never seemed to have the time to actually pursue my dream of re-starting my photography business. 

When I discovered Passion Planner, I was frustrated and depressed. I’d been working my part-time job for three months and had made no steps toward my dream. 

The problem was I spent so much time drawing out and decorating my layouts and trackers and business plan pages, I never left myself time to plan!

The Passion Planner changed ALL of that. 

The Passion Planner’s road map section helped me set my goals not only for the immediate future, but for the next year, and the my lifetime.

The roadmap helped me get all of this BIG IDEAS out of my head and really narrow my focus to the topics that would really help my business.

The monthly review and midyear game changer sections helped me look back and see where I’d gotten off track and reform my plan for getting back on target.

Unlike a bullet journal, I did not have to draw out layouts every month—instead, I could just decorate my planner and use the pre-designed layouts to plan months in advance without having to spend hours drawing spreads before I could plan.

And once the Passion Planner Daily launched, I was able to take those weekly goals and break them into daily, actionable items.

Today, I’m an award-winning, published fashion and portrait photographer and  I am a graphic designer with a successful sticker business! I am running two businesses I LOVE, which I would have never been able to do without my Passion Planner! And that’s why I now have a site dedicated to sharing my love of Passion Planner with the World!
