My Ultimate 2024 Preparation Toolkit

Let’s get right to it.

No olivia rodrigo today…

but something just as good near the end - and good stuff throughout.

1. Figma

I use Figma as a digital vision board & birdseye life overview map.

The one I’m showing you above is pretty dry, but I typically load them up with images & make them very engaging.

The outline I made for my 2024 goes like this:

• Foundations:

  • Tax

  • Legal

  • Locations I’ll be living in / visiting

• Sales

  • Products I’m offering

  • Targets

• Creation

  • Amount of content i will produce

  • Type of content

  • Posting Schedule

• Lifestyle

  • Things i intend to do, lifestyle wise this year

  • Health stuff

  • Friends

  • Trips

• Daily Schedule

  • Sample daily schedule

• Investments

  • For… Investments

2. P&L Google Sheet

This is relatively new for me in the last year or so.

I was always one of those entrepreneurs that thought accounting was boring - that I would just ‘make more money’ and that would make it so I didn’t have to think about accounting.

I have news for you.

That’s not how it works.

You need to know your margins. You need to understand where the money coming in is going. And you need to project this out for the year.

The friendlier you are with your P&L, the healthier your business will be.

You can get access to my Profit & Loss google sheet here. Disclaimer: I did not make this P&L myself. Gavin sent it to me, and I think he actually got it from Iman. So thanks Gavin / Iman for inventing this tool.

(yes I’m aware you can use quickbooks to automate accounting but nothing beats doing it manually from a personal finance awareness perspective. The insights I’ve gotten from doing it manually far outweigh the automation softwares. Both are good.)

3. Maxi

Ahhhh… Maxi.

The tool I invented that has changed thousands of lives, and counting.

There’s nothing else out there like it.

And Maxi is completely reinvented.

Check out how amazing the new Maxi looks on desktop (and there’s a mobile app too now).

What is Maxi?

Maxi is a personal growth and productivity application designed to help you clarify your visions, manage your time, and track your progress towards your goals. By combining aspects of life planning, time management, habit tracking, and journaling, it provides a comprehensive *mental model* to help you move towards your personal & professional aspirations.

For an entrepreneur, think of Maxi as a personal strategist and accountability partner. It's like having a coach in your pocket, helping you to prioritize your tasks, identify the most impactful activities (employing the 80/20 principle), and ensure you're consistently moving towards your bigger vision. While programming your mind to think more effectively in the direction of your vision.

In essence, Maxi assists in reducing the mental load of juggling multiple tasks and projects, which is an inevitable part of entrepreneurship. It can help you maintain focus, reduce procrastination, and foster a more elite mental framework.

I’m feeling generous this time of year, and want you to start off 2024 amazing - so: Use the coupon code ‘arlin’ to get one month of Maxi free (well, $1)
