Accelerator Year-One Journey Checklist · Dream Chaser University

Month 3 · Refine & Relaunch

Weekly

You’ve completed your first 60 days. Month 3 is about reviewing what you’ve built, tightening it up, and running small experiments.

Week 9: Review all notes from Days 1–60 and highlight your biggest wins, lessons, and unfinished ideas. Week 10: Clean up your offer, pricing, and simple systems based on what you learned in the mini-launch phase. Week 11: Talk to at least 3 people in your audience and gather feedback on your message and offer. Week 12: Run a “Round 2” mini-launch or outreach push using everything you just refined.

Month 4 · Audience & Content

Weekly

This month is about being seen consistently and building trust with simple, honest content.

Week 13: Choose your 1–2 primary platforms and commit to a realistic posting schedule. Week 14: Create and post content in 3 lanes: your story, your teachings, and behind-the-scenes. Week 15: Repurpose your best posts into other formats (emails, reels, carousels, etc.). Week 16: Review what resonated most and plan content for the next month around those topics.

Month 5 · Systems & Tools 2.0

Weekly

Stabilize your tools and tracking so you know what’s going on without drowning in tech.

Week 17: Review your CRM, calendar, and automations. Remove or simplify anything that feels heavy. Week 18: Decide what you’ll track weekly (leads, conversations, revenue, content) and set up a simple sheet or dashboard. Week 19: Set up or improve one automation that saves you time (emails, reminders, follow-ups). Week 20: Review the numbers and write a short “Systems Check” note for yourself.

Month 6 · Emotional Game Plan

Weekly

Use everything from Emotions & Feelings to build emotional resilience while you keep growing.

Week 21: Identify your biggest emotional triggers around money, visibility, and failure. Week 22: Design simple “micro-rituals” to reset yourself when those triggers hit. Week 23: Share one vulnerable story with your audience in a healthy way. Week 24: Write down which emotional patterns you’re ready to leave behind this year.

Month 7 · Energy & Capacity

Weekly

You move from hustling to working with your energy on purpose.

Week 25: Track your energy across a week and notice when you feel most creative, social, or analytical. Week 26: Adjust your schedule so your most important dream work matches your best energy blocks. Week 27: Drop or delegate one low-value task that drains you. Week 28: Design a simple weekly recharge ritual and actually test it.

Month 8 · Offers & Upsells

Weekly

Deepen your offer stack enough to create more ways to help people.

Week 29: Review your main offer and list natural “next steps” people might want after it. Week 30: Sketch one simple upsell or follow-up offer (VIP, advanced level, community, etc.). Week 31: Talk to current or past clients about what they’d love next. Week 32: Test your new offer with a tiny group or soft launch.

Month 9 · Partnerships & Visibility

Weekly

Start borrowing other people’s audiences and building strategic relationships.

Week 33: List potential partners, hosts, or communities that align with your dream. Week 34: Reach out to at least 3 with a clear, win-win idea (live, podcast, co-training, etc.). Week 35: Deliver one collaboration or guest appearance, even if it’s small. Week 36: Debrief what worked and plan your next 1–2 collaborations.

Month 10 · Optimization & Data

Weekly

Use simple data to make better decisions, not to obsess over perfection.

Week 37: Review your key metrics from the year so far (leads, sales, traffic, etc.). Week 38: Pick one metric to improve and brainstorm 3 experiments. Week 39: Run the simplest experiment and track what happens. Week 40: Keep what worked, drop what didn’t, and write a one-page optimization summary.

Month 11 · Systems & Team

Weekly

Begin thinking beyond just you — even if “team” is one freelancer and a few tools.

Week 41: List everything you’re doing that someone else or a tool could handle. Week 42: Choose one area to outsource or automate first. Week 43: Test working with a contractor, assistant, or better automation in that area. Week 44: Document the process so it’s easier next time.

Month 12 · Year-End Review & Next Chapter

Weekly

Close out the year by integrating everything and designing your next chapter.

Week 45: Review your entire year: top wins, top lessons, and key numbers. Week 46: Decide 3 things you’ll stop doing, 3 you’ll keep, and 3 you’ll double down on. Week 47: Design your next 12-month dream — what you want life and business to look like. Week 48–52: Create a simple plan for next year and take at least one concrete step toward it.
