Free Goal Setting Series for Small Business Owners, Creative Entrepreneurs, & Authors

FREE 5 Day Reflection and Goal Setting Series: Bookend Your Year

Running a small business or creative career means juggling ideas, deadlines, and decisions—often all at once. As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect moment to pause, reflect on what actually worked, and set goals for the year ahead that fit both your ambitions and your capacity.

Bookend Your Year is a FREE 5-day goal setting email series for small business owners, creative entrepreneurs, and authors who want a thoughtful, research-based way to review the past year and plan for a successful, sustainable new one.

Hi, I’m Angie. A lifetime ago, I completed most of a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience. Today, that background shows up in how I think about marketing, my love of psychology, and my commitment to grounding goal setting in real science—not hustle culture.

For nearly a decade, I’ve guided small business owners, creative entrepreneurs, and authors through a proven process for setting goals that support creativity, focus, and follow-through.


What Is Bookend Your Year?

Bookend Your Year helps you intentionally close one year and open the next. Like bookends, it supports reflection and forward planning—so your goals align with your creative work, business priorities, and real life.

This free email series is especially helpful if you:

  • Run a small or solo business
  • Build a creative or service-based business
  • Write books, essays, or long-form creative projects
  • Want structure without rigidity

Reflection and forward planning—so your goals align with your creative work, business priorities, and real life.

What You’ll Learn

  • How to review the past year with compassion, not self-criticism
  • How to identify what worked in your business or creative practice—and why
  • How to set clear, achievable goals for writing, creative projects, and business growth
  • How to find tools and resources that help you stay focused and on track

Every activity is designed to support momentum without burnout.
