Quarterly Goals Update: How I'm Tracking My Business Growth This Year

Subscribe now: Apple Podcasts | Spotify

Q1 is done and dusted – and I’m pulling back the curtain completely on how I’m tracking with my big $300K goal for 2026.

I’m giving you the full picture – the wins, the gaps, what I’m tracking, what I’m not, and exactly how I’m using all of that to shape Q2. Because a new quarter is a real opportunity to review where you’re at, recommit to your goals, and get intentional about what’s next.

This is exactly how I track my business growth – so you can start applying it in yours.

How to Review Your Business Wins Without Skipping Past Them

The first thing I do when reviewing anything in business is celebrate the wins.

In Q1 2026, I had my biggest quarter in business ever – just shy of $40K in revenue.

So I’m cheering! Especially being just eight months postpartum with my third baby, straight off the back of maternity leave. That’s huge. And a good sign of what’s to come.

I also ticked off several yearly goals already, one quarter in. My office studio is ordered and on its way. New brand photoshoot done. And I celebrated my 10th business birthday in a big, bold way – cake, a giveaway, merch. Lots of fun and a genuinely good brand-building exercise.

So there’s been lots to celebrate in this first quarter of the year. We love that.

Why Missing Your Goals Isn’t Failure (Especially When They’re Stretchy)

I might’ve had my biggest cash quarter ever, but I didn’t actually hit my sales goal.

I did retain all my Inner Circle clients this quarter – which is a huge win – and one woman moved up from the Collective into the Inner Circle. 

I also had a handful of women join the Collective, all incredible ideal clients.

But my sales goal for Q1 was $100k, and I got nowhere near that.

Here’s how I’m looking at it though…

I know that this year, I’m going to not hit my goals more than I actually hit them. 

I’ve set some really big, bold, stretchy goals for myself, and in doing that, I’m going to grow my business more than I would have if I hadn’t. 

Because even though I didn’t hit my $100K quarter – I still created my biggest quarter ever.

I’ve also got lots of warm leads swirling, and seeds that I’ve planted that are going to bloom in the next 3 to 6 months.

What I’ve learnt in my 10 years in business is that it’s all compounding, all the time (even when it doesn’t look like it yet).

And this quarter has given me some really great information about where the gaps are in my business currently, and what I need to be focused on moving forward if I want to hit my goals.

What to Track in Your Business for Aligned Growth (And What to Ignore)

This is the practical piece – and I want you to steal this.

I know exactly where I’m sitting and what I need to be focused on because of what I’m tracking in the business…

I track my sales, income and monthly recurring revenue. I look at cash versus contracted sales so I can see what’s coming in now versus what’s locked in for coming months. My VA updates a cash flow forecast spreadsheet each week so I always know exactly where I’m sitting and what the gap is.

I track client numbers across both tiers of the Mistressmind – focused on retention of current clients and bringing in new ones.

And I track my leads: waitlist growth, conversations, inbound enquiries. This is how I know I’ve got lots of warm leads swirling right now. It’s the leading indicator that tells you what’s building before it hits your revenue.

How to Use Your Business Data to Shape Your Q2 Strategy

The whole point of tracking is to work out what’s working and what’s not – and use that to make better decisions.

When I look at my Q1 data, the picture is clear. It’s not the offer. It’s not the pricing. It’s not the messaging. I’ve made really good sales since coming back from mat leave. I’ve had great conversations. I’ve got warm people.

But what I don’t have is the volume.

I don’t have enough new people coming into my community. You can’t keep launching the same thing to the same group of people without growing your audience.

So Q2 has one clear focus for me: visibility.

My Q2 Business Growth Plan: The Visibility Quarter

This quarter I’m getting out there more – pitching for podcast guest spots, looking for collaborations, doing guest workshops and bringing guests onto my podcast. All building toward another Mistressmind launch at the end of June.

My Q2 income goal is consistent $20K months.

And I’m making sure that I’m doing the mindset and manifestation work alongside the strategy. I’m visualising the numbers on my cash flow spreadsheet at $20K consistently. The DMs coming in, the sales notifications, the payments landing.

It sounds delulu to everyone else – but I know you get it.

I also have the Spiritual Business Immersion coming back in May – an in-person retreat day on the NSW South Coast – which I’m really excited about! If you’re local or able to travel, send me a DM and I’ll make sure you’re first with the details.

From here I then chunk it down into an actual plan month by month. I did this with my clients inside the Spiritual Business Mistressmind last week in our Q2 planning workshop, and what I recommend you do now too.

How to Run Your Own Quarterly Business Review

Start by reviewing Q1. Look at your goals – what did you achieve, where did you fall short? Lead with the wins before you look at the gaps.

Then check what you’re actually tracking. Are you measuring things that connect to sales? Use the data to see clearly what’s working, then decide your one focus for Q2 and break it down month by month.

And if your goals are feeling comfortable – stretch just a little more. You might not hit it. But you’ll create more than you would have. Because it’s all compounding, all the time.

This is really going to set you up for success this quarter.

Here’s to an epic Q2 for all of us!
