Hello and welcome to Best Laid Plans.

This is your host, Sarah Hart Unger, and this is the podcast where we talk all things planning and planning adjacent.

Today we are going to talk all things Best Lid Plans Academy, which is my flagship course

that teaches participants to plan at every level and time horizon.

But I think this episode might also be interested to those who are just interested in what

goes into a system like that, because I will be talking about each level of the course.

So if you were more into creating your

own DIY version of something like this, you could use this episode perhaps as a guide.

So first, a little bit of background. What is Best Laid Plans Academy? A couple years into doing

episodes on Best Laid Plans, I realized that I had kind of come up with

a whole system, but there were so many different episodes on so many different topics,

and there was no way of really putting everything together in the podcast format.

It was like these lessons and takeaways were all sitting in a bunch of different places,

and yet I knew they came together to create something cohesive because I was living

that myself.

And also because I kept hearing from different people about how they were using different

aspects of what they had learned from my systems.

But yet, I felt like things were just all over the place.

So I decided to put everything together

and put it into a course which I then named Best Laid Plans Academy. I wanted to help people

be able to start from scratch since that was a common question that I would get. People would say

I just feel like things are all over the place. I don't have any systems that are working for me right now.
