At some point in our lives, we all have a vision. A vision of where we want to be, of what we want to accomplish. But often, that vision remains just that—something abstract, something distant. You may know where you want to go, but the path seems unclear. The big dreams and milestones are daunting. Life gets busy, distractions pile up, and before long, it feels as though you’ve lost sight of your goals altogether.


This is where the story of the Not Just Notes Goal begins.


The Spark of Inspiration


As someone who has always been driven by the desire to create a life full of purpose, I knew that the key to achieving any goal wasn’t just ambition—it was clarity and strategy. Over the years, I found that my most rewarding accomplishments came not just from dreaming big, but from having the tools to break down those dreams into tangible actions. And through this journey, I realized that so many of us—whether entrepreneurs, students, or parents—lack a practical, yet sophisticated way to turn our dreams into reality.


I wanted to create something more than just another planner with monthly pages. I wanted to design a system that would help individuals not only clarify their goals but also take meaningful, structured action to achieve them. I wanted to create a planner that would speak to the heart of what drives us—the desire to grow, to evolve, and to leave a legacy of value for ourselves and our families.

The Power of Purposeful Action


The Not Just Notes Goal Planner isn’t just about making plans. It’s about taking purposeful action, one step at a time, with intention and mindfulness. It’s about aligning your daily habits with your greater vision and staying motivated even when the journey gets tough. The key to lasting success lies in being able to break down a big vision into manageable steps—and that’s what this planner does.


Built around the A.C.T.I.O.N. Goal Setting Framework, the planner provides a step-by-step process that will guide you through every phase of goal setting. Whether you’re planning for a personal transformation or a professional milestone, this framework ensures that you have a clear, actionable path forward. It helps you Align, Clarify, Target, Implement, Observe, and Nourish your goals in a way that empowers you to stay focused, consistent, and motivated.


Every page is designed to encourage progress. With practical exercises and thought-provoking prompts, this planner invites you to dive deep into your ambitions, create a blueprint for success, and hold yourself accountable as you move closer to your milestones.


The Design: Sophistication Meets Functionality


It was important to me that this planner not only be a tool for goal setting but also an object of inspiration in itself. It's a beautiful, executive-sized book, with a soft, buttery smooth hardcover that feels luxurious in your hands. Its interior layout is just as thoughtfully designed—every page offers ample space for reflection, planning, and tracking your progress.


With 370 pages, the planner offers more than enough room to organize your thoughts and structure your goals over the course of an entire year. It’s designed to be your companion for 12 months of intentional planning. Each month has its own dedicated space to set goals and reflect on achievements, while the weekly spreads allow you to break down those goals into actionable tasks.


But it’s not all about the logistics of planning—this planner also nurtures your mind and spirit. With dedicated affirmation pages, you’ll be inspired and motivated throughout your journey. These moments of positivity are designed to reinvigorate you on days when the going gets tough, reminding you of the value and strength you hold within.


And because I believe that true success isn’t just about career milestones, the planner includes practical checklists for personal goals like credit building, home buying, and more—helping you balance both personal and professional aspirations with ease.

Achieving Milestones, Creating a Legacy


When I set out to create the perfect planner, it wasn’t just about helping people reach their next goal—it was about creating a tool that would help them build a life of purpose, empowerment, and fulfillment. Reaching milestones isn’t just about crossing things off a list—it’s about feeling accomplished, knowing that you’ve taken deliberate action toward the lifestyle you want to create.


For me, achieving my goals has always been more than just a personal victory; it’s a way of showing up as a valuable and intentional part of my family’s story. It’s about creating a future that I can share with the people I love, one where we grow together, succeed together, and leave a lasting impact.


This planner was created with that same belief in mind—to help you not only achieve your dreams but also make the journey fulfilling and rewarding along the way. You’ll have the clarity, structure, and inspiration needed to turn your big vision into lasting change.


Whether you’re looking to transform your personal life, grow your business, or take on new adventures, the Not Just Notes Goal Planner is here to guide you. It’s your essential tool for turning dreams into tangible achievements and making every step of the journey count.
