HOW IT WORKS

SET GOALS AND ACTIONS

Enter your quarters and measurable goals on Goals, then break them into Projects and Tasks. Choose statuses from the dropdowns. Dashboard counts are based on status text: Done goals, In Progress projects, Scheduled marketing rows and Done tasks. They are counts, not percentage-complete or revenue measures.

PLAN MARKETING AND LAUNCHES

Marketing is a dated campaign/content log, not a visual monthly calendar grid or automated scheduler. Enter channels, offers, budgets and outcomes yourself. Launch Planner organizes launch dates, owners, stages, next actions and success measures. It does not post content or send reminders.

COMPARE PRIORITIES AND REVIEW MONTHS

In Priority Decision Lab enter numeric ratings from 1 to 5. Score = Impact × 2 + Ease + Urgency; a larger score is a comparison aid. Rows do not sort automatically. Enter your decision or next step manually. In Monthly Review enter revenue and expenses for each month; profit is calculated. Figures do not pull from the Finance workbook, even in the bundle.

SOFTWARE AND IMPORTANT DETAILS

Download and unzip on a computer. Keep a backup of the original. Open the editable .xlsx in spreadsheet software that supports this format. These files are designed for recent Microsoft Excel. This final review tested calculations and file structure in Artifact Tool, not Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. The supplied earlier QA report described LibreOffice tests, which were not repeated here. Google Sheets compatibility has not been verified and is not promised. Spreadsheet software is not included.

Start with START HERE. Customer input rows are blank; zeros on dashboards are calculated starting values. Type business information into input cells and leave formula cells intact. The decision-tool inputs are pale teal; use the supplied guide for other input columns. Prepared row limits are fixed. Adding rows requires extending formulas, summary ranges, dropdowns and formatting; automatic expansion is not included. Use one currency consistently. Currency displays use $, which you can reformat; there is no currency conversion.

These are standalone templates with manual data entry. There are no Etsy, Payhip, bank, supplier or software connections, macros, automated imports or notifications. They are management aids, not a complete accounting or tax system. Verify entered data and results against your business records. No sales or profit outcome is guaranteed. Customer downloads are clean, editable and contain no PREVIEW watermark or example business data.

Digital download only. No physical item is shipped. Listing images are watermarked views of the actual blank workbook; watermarks are not in your customer files. Created with AI assistance and reviewed for calculation accuracy. Contact The Coastal Escape through the storefront if you need help locating your download.
