Episode 146: Now Is the Time to Think About Your Schedule and Offers for Next Year

Written By Lex Lancaster

Episode Summary

In this episode, I’m talking about reflecting on what to carry into next year—in your business, your schedule, and your offers. As we approach the end of the year, it’s the perfect time to assess what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to shift before January hits. I share how I’ve been doing this in my own business (including why I decided to drop my quarterly SEO retainer) and how clinic owners and service providers can apply the same approach to their schedules and services. Whether it’s tightening appointment times, shifting how you book evaluations, or deciding what you want to stop offering, this episode will help you get proactive instead of reactive about your time and energy going into 2026.

[IMPORTANT]: The waitlist is open for The LextroMind! Applications will open in December. Join the waitlist!
