I’m on my second planner! I feel like I’m getting more organized, but also others are noticing that I am more organized!!! That’s awesome! This planner is really causing me to THINK! I’ve been keeping a calendar for years, just writing everything down! But now I stop and ask myself, “what do I want?” I’m learning to live a more productive, purposeful and intentional life! This makes me feel so good about myself! I’ve never felt like that before! Accomplishing all my little goals, which I know will lead to great success! I’ve been in direct sales for almost three years and I have learned so much! But now this is like the icing on the cake ! Thank you so much!!

This planner is hands down the most effective way to manage your time—period. I started using it when I was just 18 years old and a new leader in our company. Within 6 months of using the planner, I promoted myself to the top 1% of leadership. It has truly been a game changer for how I think, plan, and execute my goals. One of the most life-changing features is being able to plan your day the night before in 30-minute increments—this one habit alone made me more intentional and productive. Even better, the planner helps you prioritize your life through three major goal categories, broken down into 30-day action plans. It doesn’t just help you stay busy—it helps you stay focused on what actually matters. There’s something powerful about seeing your time laid out clearly and knowing every block is leading you closer to your vision. The layout is simple, effective, and designed with growth in mind. It’s not just a planner—it’s a personal development tool. I’m forever grateful for how it’s helped shape not just my schedule, but the trajectory of my life. Every 90 days I see elevated income and instill leadership in others in a new and elevated way as a result of the planner. I recommend it to all of my team members. ✨

The Prayer Journal has truly kept me focused in my quiet time, and keeps me motivated to take notes at church. I love the additional space to keep track of the books I’ve read. Pam you have truly been an inspiration in my life, and I’m extremely grateful to be part of your community!!

From growing my direct sales business to giving me life skills on time management and discipline that have carried me through way beyond my time in direct sales the 90 Day Planner has helped me achieve many things. The bread and butter for me is the processes of identifying key behaviors to support my goal. This is something not taught in basic goal planning. Thank you Pam for teaching me how to change my behavior to match my goal. As Pam says, “The magic is within 7 days.” Winning the day and my week has helped me stay focused and more aware of my productivity. There is not one day that goes by where I am not implementing a part of the 90 day process to an area of my life or where I am not sharing with others how to use this process to better themselves.

My 1st 90 days of this year have been very productive with having a way to focus on what is important to me so that I can continue with life. I had a major injury 3 years ago which put me spiraling into depression. While I have climbed out a ways, I still would fall back every so often. I decided that I needed some structure back in my life even if traditional work was not gonna happen. I ordered a new 90 day planner and got to work. I decided to focus on my health, spiritual growth and family finance to start easy as those are the basics to getting my head back on straight. During this 1st 3 months, I have gotten a routine together to ensure I have a family budget that is capable of sticking to and is working like a machine now. I have started cooking at home more and making better food choices along with ensuring I am taking my medication and even determined some supplements to help me. Most importantly, I set up a routine to get back into studying the Bible. I joined a Bible study group and have learned that spiritual growth helps keep away my depression. I am excited to start my next 90 days of growth although I am unsure where to go with it yet. Thank you for being a steady person for me to look up to for the last 12 years. I truly appreciate you more than you will ever know.

Miracles happened in July! God found a home to move my 90 year old mom in with me. I moved and cleaned 2 apartments and cleaned out my 10×20 storage (had not seen personal belongings in 6 years). Filled a 26 foot Uhaul two times!! It was a miracle to qualify for the house, pay for it with my direct sales savings and find the strength and RESILLIENCE to complete the move with help from friends and family. Now the fun part: Unpacking and getting settled. I’m so blessed to be in a “Happy Place” Thank you Pam for the emotional support and Godly Wisdom. “Time invested in one area is time away from another”. Using the 90-day Planner was significant in helping me Prioritize the many areas of my life: as a direct sales leader of 31 years, mom to 2 beautiful grown daughters, grandma to 3, Fulltime care-giver of my mom, Comptroller for my brother’s construction company, and find the time to have a relationship with my man.

We do grow in the storms of life, and build character through adversity. I can’t wait to be a part of the August Zoom. Love you so much and prayers for your journey in this chapter.

I’ve used a lot of planners in my life, but the 90 Day Planner is in a completely different league. It’s not just about jotting down appointments—it’s about building habits that actually stick. Before, I was constantly reacting to my day. Now, I’m proactive. My mornings start with intention, my evenings end with reflection, and my goals are finally moving from wishful thinking to real results. The biggest shift for me has been learning to break my big dreams into small, non-negotiable actions. In the last three months, I’ve hit my sales goal, rekindled my morning devotional time, and even carved out date nights with my wife that I used to ‘never have time for.’ This planner doesn’t just manage my schedule—it’s teaching me how to manage myself.

Life felt scattered before I started using the 90 Day Planner. I wore so many hats—mom, business owner, volunteer—but I was constantly chasing my tail. The first thing I noticed was how it forced me to clarify what I really wanted in each area of my life. Suddenly, my daily to-do list had a purpose beyond just being busy. In the last 90 days, I’ve launched a new branch of my business, finally organized our family budget, and started walking every morning. The mental clarity this brings is priceless. Pam always says, ‘You win the day, you win the week,’ and I can honestly say I’m winning more than I ever have.

As a guy in corporate sales, I wasn’t sure a ‘90 Day Planner’ was going to be my thing—it sounded like something for people in creative or home-based businesses. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The structure and focus it’s given me have been a game changer. I’ve streamlined my client follow-ups, mapped out my quarterly sales goals, and even found time to train for my first 10K. I especially love the habit tracker—it’s made me more disciplined about both my professional development and my personal fitness. I’m seeing results in my numbers, but more importantly, I’m seeing results in me.

I’m on my third 90 Day Planner, and every single one tells a story of growth. This past season, I was juggling a major house renovation, my Mary Kay business, and helping my daughter plan her wedding. The only reason I didn’t lose my mind is because the planner kept me anchored. I could see where my time was going, adjust quickly when plans changed, and still make progress on my personal goals. The monthly reflection pages are my favorite—I can see exactly where I’ve grown, what habits are working, and where I need to shift. It’s not just a tool; it’s my accountability partner. I can’t imagine starting a new quarter without it.

I remember the moment I realized the value of Pam’s design planner nearly 15 years ago. I had walked into a hotel ballroom in Nashville, TN for her design event thinking it was a date book…it was NOT another datebook…it was a tool to track, schedule, reflect, and pivot when needed in the DESIGNING OF MY LIFE. There are many planners/organizers to select from in today’s market but simply writing down an appointment that just as easily could be put in your phone wasn’t what I needed to CHASE MY DREAMS! How did I know…because I’d purchased EVERY planner known to man! It WASN’T working.. How is the 90 day design planner DIFFERENT? • It took the focus from marking down an appointment, to supporting me in creating DAILY habits/actions to CHASE MY DREAMS. • It gave me a place to REFLECT weekly on my habits/actions/key behaviors…were they moving me in the direction of my dreams/goals or did I need to adjust? • It gave me a place to CELEBRATE what I did well that week and a chance to make anew next week. • It gave me a place to simply WRITE stuff down…dump my brain, free my mind, and attend to it when needed or delegate it. • It gave me FREEDOM…alleviating guilt when I was working or when I wasn’t working…because I had intentionally scheduled my time in that manner. • It supports me in not only my work life but my personal life because it is created in a way to design your LIFE not your schedule! “Nothing changes until something changes”…why not commit to the way you “design” your life if only for 90 days and I believe you’ll see the impact of not just “writing down another appointment” but rather designing the life you want to live one day at a time! THANK YOU isn’t nearly enough Pam…but THANK YOU for ALL you do for SO MANY of us!

I am so grateful for Pamela Shaw’s 90 Day Planner and Breakthrough Workbook. I have been using these books and they have been a true joy in my life. The 90 Day Planner helps me stay organized and focused for my week. The entire 90 Day Planner is set up so I can have winning weeks which turn into winning months to reach a 90 Day Goal. I also enjoy the Breakthrough Workbook. Miracles happen when working in the Breakthrough Workbook. I am able to gain a deeper “why” for my business, as well as the strategies to achieve those goals and I can see my goals and dreams are possible. THE GREATEST JOY FOR ME was traveling to Pam’s live event Breakthrough Academy and being able to learn from her in a small group setting for an entire weekend and then having Sunday brunch. Can anyone imagine how amazing that would be? I traveled 2 days by bus and shuttle and it was worth it all to be at that event. The event and meeting everyone at the event made the books come alive as we all talked and asked questions. Pam really has a heart to see people achieve their goals and she puts her whole self into making that happen through the materials and live events. THANK YOU PAM FOR MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO ACHIEVE MY GOALS!

I must tell you how very much I appreciate the subject of this week’s email! Through using the 90 Day Planner over the past 46 days I have begun to learn several things about myself. One of those, is the subject you address, “We will never be perfect or intentional 100% of the time, so it’s important to notice when we have slipped, offer ourselves kindness and grace, and pivot. THAT is how we get back on track…” Over the past few weeks I have become more and more aware of how extremely judgmental I am of myself. That realization brought another that I give others grace in ways I do not give myself. In fact, your email and several of your recent social media posts, when I have responded and shared them, you have given such encouraging and helpful response back – These have been so very encouraging and truly helpful. With my new realization, I have been able to be more truthful and kinder with myself in turn. The self-kindness has begun to create real change in my daily life and business. Doing so has caused me to find the small areas in which I have allowed myself to be frozen. I would liken it to a powerful river beginning to unfreeze; cracks form and then slowly break into large chunks and soon the river flows free. Silly things have held me back from making booking calls and holding appointments. However, being kind to myself is what has brought to me the ability to recognize what causes my anxiety and has stopped my progress. Because of your planner and guidance, I am daily pushing myself to create the habit of tackling each next step and creating forward movement. Which I believe is proof of your thoughts: 1. In order for me (and you) to have the BEST 2020, I have to stay FOCUSED because unwelcome, short-term circumstances will fade, and I’ll be left standing either in the same place or advancing towards my dreams. Focus is the separator. AND 2. Sometimes, we ignore the whisper… that nudge to take action on an invitation or opportunity that could literally change the direction of our lives! Ignore ANYTHING but that! So again, thank you for the excellence you give to all of us! Thank you for the kindness of your support and encouragement you give back. My sincere gratitude

Pure Genius for an “on the go” professional

I’ve found that this 90-day Design Your Life book to be a tremendous tool. I’m huge user of Weekly Plan sheet each week. I’m huge goal setter! It’s right there. It has become my go to book consolidating critical info for both my conscious and subconscious mind. I’ve been using it for 1.5yrs and won’t change.

Using the Design you life book has made a huge difference in my life—business as well as private. It has taken me a couple weeks to realize I have it, but now that I’m using it, I check it every day just to make sure I’m on the right track!! Thank you so much for making it available to me!! (PS: I was at my 1st Seminar, I think the year you had Thomas in Dallas.)

Too many times in the past I would make amazing goals for my life, only to have them sizzle two weeks later. For the first time, I have the plan of action, guidance, and steps on how to accomplish those goals. This planner has been the BEST tool ever for my business!

I am finding time to do other important things that I let slide before. Like reading, quiet time, etc. I am getting more done.

Have you ordered Pam Shaw’s Book/CD/Director Focus Folders? I just received Pam Shaw’s CD “Designing My Life, Living My Vision” and the director focus folders – WOW was it powerful! I had gotten the book “Designing My Life, Living My Vision at Seminar and really had not used it, because I wasn’t quite sure How to Use it (is anybody out there with me)! Well, if you are feeling the same way, please order the CD NOW!!!! It will truly help you to develop your systems in all areas. I think as directors being accountable and also working on “us” in all areas of our life is so important to keep us focused. Pam also mentions that discipline and accountability are necessary to move forward! Are you willing to change – Pam states that “Growth is Optional, but Change is Mandatory!” I love this statement she made on the CD (paraphrased by me of course): “Vision is the place you are going (that big thing, big position, etc.)” and Mission is what drives you there (what moves you! why you do what you do!).” That was just such an eye opener for me! I know those are such simple statements, but they awoke such an awareness in me! Pam has always been such an eloquent speaker. She paints the picture and shares her heart, like only Pam can. Hope this was helpful, if you had purchased the book and were not quite sure how you should be using it!

Last year as the the year came a to close, I was ready for a shift in my business & life, and I participated in a Design Your Life e-workshop that Pam held. I had been using the design your life books over the years, and I had a new one in hand as she trained. For the first time, I FULLY filled out the pages about my mission & vision & dreams & mapped out the goal time frames as the book is laid out. I spent time planning each goal intentionally with deadlines – even relationship goals I had within my marriage & family. That 90 day cycle (Jan-March) & the one to follow (April- June) were 2 of the most shifting 90 day cycles I’ve experienced in a long time! I used the Design My Life planner as it is designed to be used and I hit (or made significant progress) on every goal area I wrote out! My business grew significantly & our team hit the next higher level that I had been reaching for for years. Some changes happened within my marriage that I intentionally planned out at the start of the new year- for the first time, I wrote out steps I was going to take with that goal to make those changes & I stuck to it! My marriage immediately changed! I attribute these changes in my business & life to a commitment to think differently & to intentional living, which Pam’s Design Your Life trainings & planner gave me the tools to make the shift & see it through!

I absolutely love the Brain Dump page!! Wow!! Just to get everything on one page that would normally be floating around in my brain is brilliant! I used to have different lists everywhere and the 90 day planner is just the best! I must admit…this is my third time erasing the dates and starting over with the same planner because I did not want to waste the one I ordered 6 months ago however, I am getting in the groove of utilizing it and I know this will propel me into action with my business. Thank you Pam for sharing this amazing tool that helped you reach the highest success!
