Planning for 2026 Without the Eye Roll — How to Actually Follow Through
Planning can feel like the same yearly ritual: you get excited for five minutes… then life happens… and suddenly 2026 becomes a photocopy of 2025.
In this episode, we flip that.
This isn’t “set goals and hope for the best.” It’s a practical way to stack the odds in your favour so your planning actually turns into action — and action turns into outcomes, in business and in life.
We start with a powerful Steve Jobs idea about living life on purpose — then move straight into the systems that make planning stick.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why planning often feels hit-and-miss (and why it’s not a discipline problem)
- How to get genuinely excited about what you can create in 2026
- Why holidays must be planned first — and what a real holiday actually is
- What to plan beyond revenue:
- days and hours you want to work
- team size
- where you want to work
- wage, profit, and super (clearly defined)
- Why “just doing the work” keeps businesses stuck
- How to break your business into clear focus areas so nothing gets ignored
- The difference between marketing and sales (and why both must be scheduled)
- How to turn intention into time-blocked action so goals don’t stay theoretical
- The three-move rule that builds real self-accountability:
- move it up to three times
- then either do it or delete it (and get honest with yourself)
- Why follow-through works better when it’s designed — not left to willpower
- How 2026 stops being a repeat year and starts behaving differently
If you’ve ever planned with good intentions but watched the year run you instead — this episode will help you design a year that reflects what actually matters to you.
Because planning isn’t about more effort.
It’s about better structure.
🎧 Listen now and start shaping a 2026 you’ll actually recognise when you’re living it.
