How I Plan to Reach My Income & Impact Goals In 2026 AND Still Have Freedom

It’s the end of the year, and the pressure to plan “the biggest year yet” is real. But what if your goals weren’t about doing more, but about doing the right things?

In this episode, I break down exactly how I‘m planning for a freedom-filled and profitable 2026 — with 25-hour weeks, school holidays off, and a business that’s built around life-first strategy.

From goal-setting and data reviews to campaign planning and capacity management — this is a permission slip to do business differently (and sustainably).

In this episode, I cover:

Why goal-setting starts with your lifestyle, not your income target
The exact hours I work (and why that’s a non-negotiable)
The key data I reviewed from 2025 to guide my 2026 strategy
How I plan campaigns around school holidays and energy levels
Why community and tracking will be my biggest focus next year.
