  • The End of Year YouTube Reset That Sets You Up to Win in January
    Jan 6 2026

    Are you wondering what to fix on your YouTube channel before January so you actually start the year with momentum, not chaos?

    If you are a woman in business using YouTube video podcasting to grow your audience and attract clients, the final days of December are your unfair advantage window. In this episode, I walk you through a simple, strategic YouTube reset you can finish in three to four focused hours so you can publish faster, show up with clarity, and turn new January viewers into subscribers, leads, and buyers.

    📝 What You’ll Learn:

    • Why January viewers behave differently and how to position your content for that fresh start mindset
    • How to do a strategic analytics audit using watch time, not views, to spot what actually worked
    • The exact patterns to look for in your top videos so you can plan January content that lands
    • How to streamline your production workflow so recording in January is press record, not set up for an hour
    • What to refresh on your channel so new viewers know who you help and what to watch next
    • How to build a simple January content buffer, including one evergreen video as your content insurance
    • How to set realistic CEO level goals that keep you consistent without burning out
