Be honest... when was the last time you stopped to truly reset your business?

For many entrepreneurs, the default is “keep going.” We lurch from launch to launch, react to every client request and promise ourselves that next month we’ll finally get strategic. But months slip into years and suddenly you’re running a business that looks successful from the outside while feeling completely unsustainable on the inside.

That’s exactly why I believe in the power of the 90-day business reset.

Not a New Year’s resolution. Not a 'burn everything down and start over' moment. A structured, intentional season where you reset, refine and refocus so your business actually feels good and brings in premium clients without the stress.

Why 90 Days Works When 12 Months Doesn’t

A year is overwhelming. Most business owners set sprawling 12-month goals and then get discouraged when the reality of day-to-day life takes over.

Ninety days, on the other hand, is:

• Focused enough to keep momentum.

• Long enough to make meaningful changes.

• Short enough to course-correct if needed.

Think of it as the business version of a sprint. You’re not trying to run a marathon at a steady slog; you’re intentionally choosing one bold thing to shift and committing to making it happen in 90 days.

What a Business Reset Actually Looks Like

A 90-day reset isn’t about adding more to your plate. It’s about clearing space and focusing on the right things.

When you do it properly, you’ll:

• Audit your business so you know exactly where your energy leaks are.

• Set a clear premium goal that aligns with your vision.

• Design a reset roadmap with small, consistent steps that move you forward.

• Anchor your pricing and positioning so you stop undercharging or chasing the wrong clients.

• Create reset rituals to keep yourself on track, week after week.

Done right, a reset doesn’t just change your business; it shifts you.

The Three Phases of a 90-Day Reset

Here’s the framework I use with my own clients:

1. Audit Ruthlessly (Weeks 1–2)

Get everything out of your head and onto paper. Ask yourself:

• Where is the business draining me?

• Which offers are profitable? Which are just busywork?

• Who are my best-fit clients? Who are the energy vampires?

This isn’t about judgement; it’s about clarity. Most people are shocked at how much time and money they waste once they see it in black and white.

2. Choose Your Bold Goal (Weeks 3–4)

Forget juggling 10 goals at once. Pick one premium outcome for the next 90 days. Examples:

• Raising your rates and filling them at the new level.

• Finally launching that group programme.

• Repositioning your brand for premium clients.

The discipline of focusing on one goal is what makes a reset powerful.

3. Build Reset Rituals (Weeks 5–12)

This is where momentum comes in. Design tiny, repeatable rituals that keep you moving towards the bold goal.

• A weekly CEO hour to track progress.

• A monthly review to course-correct.

• Daily 15-minute 'needle-mover' tasks.

These rituals transform your reset from a one-off experiment into a sustainable way of working.

Common Traps to Avoid

Most resets fail not because the idea is bad, but because we sabotage them. Watch out for:

• Overcomplicating it - you don’t need 10 apps and a colour-coded Notion board. A notebook works fine.

• Focusing on the wrong thing - a new logo won’t get you premium clients; raising your authority will.

• Going it alone –- accountability is the secret ingredient. Whether it’s a mentor, mastermind, or business buddy, resets stick better when you don’t try to do it in a vacuum.

Why a Reset Attracts Premium Clients

Here’s the unexpected bonus: when you reset your business, you reset your energy. You show up with clarity and confidence.

Clients feel that.

Instead of chasing work, you magnetise the right people. Premium clients want to work with someone who knows what they stand for, not someone drowning in overwhelm.

By the end of 90 days, it’s not just your revenue that changes; it’s the way you feel when you sit down at your desk each morning.

A Reset Isn’t Just About Business

The truth is, when you commit to a reset, you’re also making a personal shift. You stop tolerating chaos. You stop saying yes when you mean no. You build a business that supports your life, not the other way around.

And that? That’s worth far more than just hitting another financial target.

Your Next Step

If you’ve been running at full tilt and telling yourself you’ll 'get organised soon,' consider this your invitation.

Don’t wait for January. Don’t wait for things to slow down (they won’t). Start your reset now.

Because the next 90 days will pass anyway. The question is: will you be in the same place, or somewhere completely different?
