Hope is not a strategy. And "like" belongs on Facebook, not in your goal plan.

Welcome, Pivoter. The calendar has flipped and the year is officially underway. While most people are already drifting away from resolutions they made in a rush, this episode is about doing something different.

In this episode of PivotMe, April walks you through how to define your 4 Rocks for 2026 — the four non-negotiable outcomes that will determine whether next December feels like a victory lap or another year that "flew by."

These are not wish-list goals. Not "someday" ideas. They are the pillars that, if accomplished, make everything else easier — or unnecessary.

Key Takeaways

Failures are data points, not identity Missed goals are feedback. Outcomes don't define who you are — they refine how you move forward.

Alignment beats ambition Sometimes goals aren't missed — they're outgrown. Growth changes priorities, and that's evolution, not failure.

Big Rocks don't shout — they whisper The loudest things in your life are rarely the most important. Your inbox is louder than your health. Clients are louder than family. Your 4 Rocks live in what quietly matters most.

What makes a true Big Rock A real Rock is an outcome that carries weight — one that reshapes everything around it. These are pillars, not tasks.

How high performers actually execute

• Schedule the commitment

• Make it visible

• Identify friction early

• Review monthly

• Celebrate momentum, not perfection

Sustained motion beats flawless execution every time.

Write this at the top of a page: "My 4 Rocks for 2026."

List only four.

Say them out loud. Say them like a promise.

You're not hoping. You're deciding.

Stop negotiating with your non-negotiables.
