Creating Your Best Year Yet: Non-Negotiables for an Elite 2026 | Ep. 458

Who’s ready for a great show this week?! I’m so fired up--the kids are home, Christmas is in the air, and today’s episode is all about designing your most epic year yet — 2026.

This is Part 2 of our Annual Strategic Planning Series. Last week we reflected on 2025. This week, we look forward to 2026 and make a decision about who we are becoming, what we are creating, and how we will achieve maximum success and fulfillment.

In this episode, I walk you through:

• How to intentionally design 2026, instead of letting it happen by accident.
• Why choosing your ONE WORD for the year is a non-negotiable.
• The shift from what you need to do to who you must become.
• How raising your daily standards changes everything.

We also talk about how I’m personally structuring my year and why fewer, clearer priorities lead to more focus and fulfillment. We dive into practical frameworks, including:

• Creating daily non-negotiables, as winners don’t negotiate with themselves.
• Building a calendar that reflects your true priorities.
• Avoiding and eliminating energy leaks and distractions that drain your momentum.
• Upgrading your environment, your inputs, and the people around you.
• Installing weekly and quarterly review systems so you fall to your systems, not your excuses.

Lastly, I want to challenge you with “10” powerful questions that will frame your entire 2026 year, including:

• What would a 10-out-of-10 year in 2026 look like?
• Who must I become to deserve the life I say I want?
• What habits must be installed, eliminated, or reinforced?
• What am I willing to say ‘no’ to so I can say ‘yes’ to living my best life?
• Where do I need more discipline—and where do I need more grace?
• What would my future-self thank me for if I started this habit or action-step today?

This episode is a coaching session, a mindset reset, and a call to action as we head into the holidays. Let’s be sure to slow down. Breathe. Relax. Pray on your vision. And commit to designing your 2026 year with deep purpose and conviction.
