Oct 7, 2025

Are you planning like a CEO or just staying busy?

In this solo episode, Ashley digs into how to plan like a CEO, not a busy entrepreneur. She breaks down the time vs. money mindset shift, her 4-part to-do list, and the weekly habits that make consistency inevitable. Ashley wraps things up with a guided tour through the 2026 Retail Planner (formerly the Boutique Boss Planner): sales and social tracking, checklists, monthly reviews, and how to use it with your manager or team.

You’ll Learn

  • The CEO mindset that frees up time and scales revenue

  • The 4 lists that remove overwhelm and increase focus

  • How to pair paper + Trello + Google Calendar

  • Time-blocking/theme days that stick

  • What’s inside the 2026 Retail Planner and why the monthly review pages drive smarter decisions
