The Fantastic Foundations Business Planner and Journal
Struggling to stay on top of your small business without feeling confused, stressed or overwhelmed? This 13-week printable business planner and journal is designed to help you brain dump, prioritise your tasks and track your progress with simple daily and weekly planning. It's for people who want to get more done with less stress!
No more scattered notes, half-finished ideas or weeks that disappear before you’ve made real progress. This printable business planner and journal gives you the structure and clarity to take control of your business. One focused and intentional day at a time.
You start with the best intentions but you never seem to get past that!
Creating growth in your small business requires 3 main ingredients:
Clarity – Knowing exactly where you’re going.
Confidence – Trusting yourself to make the right moves.
Consistency – Keeping things running without burning out.
And planning is one of the key starting points for achieving these in your small business. Because:
🟡 Planning gives you clarity by helping you get all those ideas out of your head and put into a simple but structured format. With space each week to get clear on your prioritise and set your critical tasks, you’ll finally see the direction your small business is heading and know what to focus on next. No more guessing (or worse second-guessing) yourself.
🟡 With the right planning in place, it’s so much easier to trust your decisions. Having this kind of confidence in your small business means you’ll spend less time overthinking and more time doing. Daily reflection gives you proof that you're making progress, helps you learn from what’s working and feel good about how far you’ve come.
🟡 This printable business planner and journal helps you create consistency that works with your life, not against it. With daily check-ins and weekly reviews, you’ll be able to stay on top of your priorities without needing to work 24/7. Building a routine that feels sustainable not exhausting.
You know you need to plan but it never happens because....
Things in your small business are disorganised and there's no structure. You've got ideas scribbled on notes and post-its all over your desk but nothings clear or actionable.
You over estimate the amount of time that you have or how long it'll take to get things done so you plan loads of things in and deliver very little of it.
Of stop/start delivery where you start new things but don’t finish them because you aren't clear on what you need to be doing or when to get stuff done.
Your daily business feels overwhelming and chaotic so you struggle to know where to start or what to deliver to build in consistency through your critical tasks.
You're caught up in 'Magpie Syndrome' where you're constantly jumping to new shiny ideas rather than following through to finish things off.
Procrastination is holding you back, the big things feel too big to tackle but then you struggle with guilt around not getting them done.
You don't implement and you overcomplicate things. You've invested time and money into learning things but still not gotten around to applying things. Or you've created complex systems that aren't useful to you.
All of these things are in the way of you planning but planning properly would actually fix all of this! ⬆️
What if the thing you’ve been missing isn’t more work but just the right support to set up your planning in a way that saves you time and gives you more clarity - all for a single payment?
Hey I'm Lizzy (Owner and Chief Joy Officer at The Fantastic Foundations) and I absolutely understand how hard running a business is alongside being a Mum.
From 16 years experience as a business and project manager I know how to take big and complex things and make them simple, effective and streamlined. And I've used all of that experience to create a 13 week business planner and daily journal that you can pay for ONCE but print (or fill out) whenever you need it.
Why is this printable and not a physical planner?
It's important to me that people can afford this! This planner has a simple purpose, to help you get the most out of your working week. By making this printable it means that people can afford it because most of the cost when producing a journal is the printing. This way you can either:
use it as a digital file (with a note-taking app),
print it at home or
send it to a printers to have it done for you.
You only have to pay once but then you get to have a new journal on a quarterly basis and you can choose how and when you do that.
What is it?
I've used lots of different planners and journals over the years, most of them have squeezed in so much that the planning in your business becomes a whole industry that you just can't keep up with. What I've done is create something that lets you bring together all that you need in one place without any of the fluff or overfilling the pages. Each page well focused with plenty of space to write without the visual noise that often puts people off using most other available planners!
It'll help you stay on top of your strategic goals, set critical tasks and track your progress, in a way that keeps you clear and focused without feeling stressed or under pressure. It blends planning, reflection and celebration to ensure you make meaningful progress in both your business and your life.
Who is it for?
This is for ambitious small business owner who are tired of feeling:
scattered and stressed,
like all their hard work isn't taking them anywhere or
that they're getting to the end of quarters and just have a long list of unfinished tasks.
If you want a structured but flexible system that supports your growth and progress while making space for joy, wins and reflection then this is for you.
Why planning often feels impossible as a small business owner (and what to do about it)
If you’ve ever sat down to plan your week, only to get distracted by literally everything else, you’re not alone. Planning as a small business owner is not like planning in a corporate job where someone else tells you what needs to happen. Here, you’re the boss (and quite possibly the whole delivery team). So that means:
➡️ There’s no built-in structure. You don’t have a manager giving you deadlines or a team waiting on you. It’s just you, trying to figure out what actually matters and in what order.
➡️ You’re juggling a million roles – CEO, marketing manager, accountant, admin support, customer service, ideas developer… oh and possibly also being a parent, a partner and attempting to have some kind of a life.
➡️ You’re reacting instead of planning – Client requests, last-minute shenanigans and new ideas constantly pull you in different directions. So instead of delivering the tasks that'll grow your small business, you’re stuck on the hamster wheel and you're just exhausted.
➡️ You overestimate how much you can do – Let’s be real: most of us write a to-do list for a single day that would take three days to complete. And then when we don’t get through it all, we feel like we’re failing (even though we set ourselves up for that🙈).
➡️ Planning feels overwhelming or time consuming, so you avoid it – When planning just becomes a reminder of all the things you haven’t done yet or worse all the things you've started but not finished it’s no wonder you avoid doing it!
How it could feel once you start using the Business Planner and Journal ⬇️
✅ Plan with clarity and purpose with space to brain dump your ideas, create weekly task lists and set your 3 critical tasks to stay focused.
✅ Start each day with intention by using the daily planning page to set goals, priorities and focus your energy.
✅ Reflect and celebrate your wins through the end of day review page to track your progress, record your wins and learn from your challenges.
✅ Stay on track with weekly check-ins using these structured reviews to adjust your plan and keep moving forward.
✅ Simplify your business planning by taking away the scattered notes and random desk post-it's and pulling it all together in one place that you can easily manage and keep track of everything that you want and need to do.
✅ Designed for busy small business owners I designed and tested this in my small business to help plan smarter and work more efficiently. Now I'm sharing it with you, so that you can do the same thing.
You could make that happen by investing (once) in The Fantastic Foundations Business Planner and Journal where you'll get:
13 weeks of structured planning: Weekly planning pages to break down your goals into actionable steps.
Daily pages for clarity and focus: Space for your top tasks and why they matter.

Check-ins: Daily and weekly check-ins to celebrate wins, reflect on things that you've learned not only about yourself but also about your business. And start to take action to improve future outcomes.
Quarterly reviews: Mid-point and end-of-quarter reviews to keep you on track and ensure consistent growth.
A place for joy: Because your business is meant to support your life, not the other way around!

📌 Progress tracking and reviews – Stay accountable to yourself with structured weekly, mid-point and end-of-journey reviews to improve your strategy and approaches and keep moving forward.
Here's what you'll get inside the Business planner and Journal......
Weekly clarity and focus
Each week you'll start with a dedicated space to brain dump all your ideas, tasks and goals. This way, nothing gets lost. From there, you’ll organise your thoughts into a clear to-do list, making it easier to prioritise what actually matters. This gives you a structured approach that helps you get clear on exactly what you need to work on.
To keep you from getting stuck in the busywork, you’ll also set three critical tasks for the week. These are the non-negotiable, high-impact actions that'll push your business forward. This approach ensures you focus on the right things and end the week knowing you’ve actually made real progress.
Progress tracking and reviews
In small businesses, consistency is where the magic happens. This business planner and journal is designed to help you actually stick with your plans. With built-in:
weekly,
mid-point and
end-point reviews.
you’ll have structured moments to step back and evaluate how things are going. These check-ins keep you accountable and help you adjust your approach if something isn’t working.
The mid-point and end-point reviews give you space to reflect on your overall progress, celebrate how far you’ve come and plan your next steps. Whether it’s tweaking your workflows, spotting patterns in what’s slowing you down or doubling down on what’s working. These regular check-ins make sure you’re not just doing business, you’re growing your business. With this regular reflection built into your routine, you’ll stay focused, consistent, and always moving forward.
Daily planning and reflection
Every morning, you’ll set your tasks for the day. Deciding on what needs to be your key priorities, checking in with your weekly goals and making sure your time is spent on the tasks that matter most.
This isn’t about cramming more into your schedule; it’s about being intentional with your energy so you don't end the week feeling flat and demotivated. With a daily planning routine, you can shift your mindset from overwhelmed to in control before you even start working.
At the end of the day, you’ll take some time to review how it's all gone. What you got done, celebrate your wins (big and small) and recognise what worked well. This daily check-in helps you build momentum and tweak your approach when needed so that you're learning and growing as a business owner. By reviewing your progress daily, you’ll also reduce the frustration of feeling like you’re always busy but never truly getting anywhere.
How can I be sure that this is for me?
You might have paid for business planners and journals before where you:
opened it once but there was so much on the pages you felt confused and stressed,
it took too long to complete so you didn't see the benefit of it,
you abandoned it after just a week or so because it didn't really fit with your busy life
That's where this business planner and journal is different. It only contains the most important things that you need to build a business that you love in the time that you have. Here's EXACTLY what I mean by that ⬇️
The key to actually making planning work isn’t about finding the perfect system, it’s about making planning fit YOUR life and business. The journal lets you do that by:
🟡 Making it simple. – No overcomplicated systems, just a clear list of priorities and key tasks that actually move the needle.
🟡 Planning in small chunks. – Instead of trying to map out the rest of your life, you can focus on what needs to happen in the next week (or even just tomorrow).
🟡 Prioritising properly. – Deliver the critical tasks that actually drive growth and stop getting distracted by busywork.
🟡 Leaving room for life. – Some days won’t go to plan. That’s normal. This planner lets you shuffle tasks around so that you can quickly get back on track when life happens.
Planning isn’t about making more work for yourself. It’s about making your business feel lighter, clearer and more doable. And honestly, who doesn’t want that?

Absolutely! This planner and journal has been designed with simplicity and ease in mind. I've used and tested in my own business over a full year to get it just right. No crammed pages or complicated layouts. Once you get into using the planner the daily sheets should take you around 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at the end of your day to fill in.
Do I have to start at the beginning of a quarter?
Nope! You can start whenever you’re ready. The 13-week structure is there to help you stay consistent over a full quarter but you don’t need to wait for a specific date to get started.
How much time will this take each day?
Just a few minutes in the morning to set your priorities and a few minutes at the end of the day to reflect and track wins. It’s all about making planning work for you, not adding more to your plate.
Planning and reviewing your week will take a little longer but this is what cuts down the time it takes to do your daily planning AND sets you up with clear tasks for the coming week.

You can just save a new version to your tablet or print it off again. This single payment lets you use it as many times as you need.
By the end of the 13 weeks, you’ll have clear ideas about what’s working in your business, where you can improve and a good feel for what actually fits your life.
You can just repeat the process every quarter to stay on track and keep growing with ease.
