If your week feels like a blurry mess of client calls, content deadlines, grocery runs, and second-guessing yourself in between, then this one’s for you.
You’re not a beginner.
You’ve done the mindset work. You’ve got the receipts from past wins. You’re incredibly good at what you do.
So why does it still feel like you’re spinning your wheels?
The secret to a 6-figure year isn’t more hustle. It’s not about working harder or adding more to your plate. It’s about building a structure that fits how you operate best; one that supports your brain, supports the way you naturally think and recharge, and aligns with your top priorities while still helping you hit your income goals.
This post will show you exactly what that structure looks like. And by the end, you’ll walk away with one simple practice you can start using today to step into the version of you who creates consistent income (without running yourself into the ground).
Why This Framework Actually Works to Build a 6-Figure Business
Over the past 8 years, as a business and mindset coach for high-achieving women entrepreneurs who are ready to build sustainable 6-figure businesses without sacrificing their values, families, or sanity, I created the Balanced Workweek™ method.
My own struggles inspired it. I was the over-delivering, exhausted, calendar-juggling CEO whose income never quite matched the effort.
Since implementing this framework (and teaching it inside my program, Your 6-Figure Year), I’ve watched my clients go from burnout to breakthroughs.
As one of my clients, Noelle, said after implementing just one part of our CEO Power Planning framework:
"The program helped me create strategy, focus and really pair down my schedule to include only things that serve me. For example- being a realtor, every day is dynamic and different- but since I’ve been working with Vanessa- I have set days for set things and then space to handle when a showing or unscheduled meeting pops up. Another example- I didn’t even really know what strategy was or how to use it to grow my business… I just followed the things I thought I was supposed to be doing, but Vanessa meets you where you are and explains how to create strategies that help you move the needle forward (I had my first $15K month using her tools)."
Let’s talk about what made the difference.
What a Consistent Income Structure Really Means
Repeatable income isn’t created in the hustle. It’s created in the rhythm.
Enter the Balanced Workweek™ method; a weekly structure built around your brain’s natural capacity, your energetic ebbs and flows, and the business tasks that actually drive revenue.
Here are the 3 routines that make up the foundation of your 6-figure week:
1. CEO Day
Strategic planning, metrics review, and decision-making so you stop running blind and start running like a leader.
This is the day you zoom out and look at the business as a whole. You check your numbers, evaluate what’s working, and plan what’s next. No scrambling. Just clarity.
🧠 Brain science behind it: CEO Day taps into Beta brainwave states, which are optimal for focus, logic, and analytical thinking. These states activate the prefrontal cortex, your brain’s decision-making hub, helping you stay grounded, mentally organized, and clear. Planning your week while in Beta mode increases executive functioning, which means better decisions with less emotional reactivity.
2. Doer Day
Implementation, marketing, and sales execution, so that your income-driving tasks stop getting pushed to the bottom of the list.
This is the day you focus on visibility and conversion. Think: emailing leads, updating your offer page, and scheduling sales calls. Less scrolling, more selling.
🧠 Brain science behind it: Doer Day activates Beta and Alpha brainwaves, which help you stay alert yet focused. Beta brainwaves are associated with goal-oriented thinking, task execution, and decision-making—making them ideal for implementation days.
But too much Beta for too long can lead to stress, which is why this day works best in time blocks with intentional breaks. Alpha waves, on the other hand, are linked to a calm, focused mental state—perfect for supporting creativity and problem-solving while reducing overwhelm. Together, these states help you stay productive without burning out.
3. Goddess Day
Nervous system regulation, creativity, and embodiment, so you don’t just “run” your business, you feel supported by it.
You regulate. You receive. You connect to your bigger vision. This is where you align your energy so the strategy works even better.
🧠 Brain science behind it: Goddess Day is when your brain can relax into Alpha and Theta states, ideal for creativity, intuition, and nervous system reset. Alpha is linked to calm alertness, while Theta is associated with deep insight and emotional healing.
By intentionally cultivating these brain states through rest, breathwork, or nature, you rewire your mind for resilience and long-term vision, making your business feel less reactive and more magnetic.
Together, these three days create a weekly rhythm that blends feminine and masculine energetics: structure with softness, action with restoration, execution with intention. That’s the magic behind a business that thrives without spiraling.
A Quick Shift Into Momentum Today
When your income feels shaky, it’s usually not a strategy issue—it’s a self-concept issue.
Here’s a journaling ritual from my Practical Manifestation Journal that you can start using right now:
✅ Step 1: Set Your 30-Day Goal
Pick one clear, specific, and measurable goal that lights you up. Something like:
“Sign 3 new coaching clients at my $2K package”
“Earn $5K in cash sales from one offer this month”
“Complete 6 live sales calls and feel calm and prepared on each one.”
✅ Step 2: Write 3 Strategic Actions
List 3 needle-moving tasks that would help you get there. These should be simple, clear, and actionable so you can complete them that day. The next day, you will do the following steps and continue the next steps until you've reached your goal.
✅ Step 3: Choose Your Emotional State
Ask yourself: How do I want to feel while I do these things? Words like: Grounded. Bold. Magnetic. Playful. Powerful.
✅ Step 4: Anchor in Empowering Thoughts
Write 2–3 affirmations that reflect your future self. Ex:
“I am the kind of woman who follows through.”
“I trust myself to create consistent income.”
✅ Step 5: Reflect in the Evening
Ask: Who was I today? What did I do well? What can I celebrate?
Just 10 minutes a day rewires your brain to lead from belief, not burnout.
Real-Life Habits That Keep You Stuck (and How to Shift Them)
You’re smart, resourceful, and committed, so why does it still feel so hard to stay consistent?
A lot of women entrepreneurs unknowingly build their weeks on habits that work against their brain and energy instead of with them.
Let’s highlight a few common ones and offer a more powerful swap:
🚫 Habit: Trying to stick to a rigid routine that doesn’t account for your natural rhythm
✅ Try this instead: Adopt a flexible rhythm like the Balanced Workweek™ that gives your brain structure and room to breathe. Flexibility actually supports consistency when it’s backed by intentional planning.
🚫 Habit: Believing you need more energy or motivation before you can change
✅ Try this instead: Start with just one micro-adjustment, like taking 5 minutes every Monday to plan your week through the lens of your CEO Day. Small shifts retrain your nervous system and build momentum.
🚫 Habit: Thinking you’re just “not a consistent person”
✅ Try this instead: Remind yourself: consistency isn’t a personality trait, it’s a system. You can build one that matches your style, values, and vision.
When your week has rhythm, your actions have intention. And when your actions have intention, your income becomes repeatable.
