There’s something powerful about a new year – but I’m a big believer that the real fresh start happens before the calendar flips. If you wait until half way through January to start thinking about 2026, you’ll probably be doing it when you’re already tired, short-staffed and reacting to day-to-day fires.

This series is about getting ahead of that.

Over the next six weeks, I’m walking you through a simple, structured “Head Start to a Fixed 2026” so that by the time January arrives, you’re not staring at a blank page. You’ll already know what worked in 2025, where the pressure points are, and what you want to focus on in the year ahead.

This first Week is all about Reflect, Reset & Move with Momentum.

You can’t plan forward intelligently if you haven’t looked back clearly. This isn’t about beating yourself up for what didn’t get done. It’s about taking an honest, balanced view of 2025 so you can carry the learning – not the baggage – into 2026.
