Happy New Year! Here's something to keep your goals visible

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Happy New Year!

I hope you're feeling energized and ready for what 2026 has in store.

I wanted to start the year by giving you something practical: a 2026 Monthly Calendar you can print and use all year long.

But here's the thing: this isn't just any calendar.

You'll notice there's a box on each month that says "MY BIG GOAL."

That's intentional.

Because here's what I've learned after nearly 20 years of helping entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses: we don't fail because we don't set goals. We fail because we lose sight of them.

Life gets busy. Client emergencies pop up. The daily overwhelm takes over. And that goal you were so excited about on January 1st? It gets buried under everything else.

That's why I created this calendar with your ONE big goal for the month front and center - literally at eye level, every single day.

When you know what you're working toward and you see it regularly, you make better decisions. You take 100% responsibility for your outcomes. You stay focused on what matters most.

Print all 12 months, or tackle one month at a time. Write your big goal in that box. Put it where you'll see it every day.​

Want to dive deeper into why this monthly goal focus actually works? I've written about the power of 12-week planning and how it helps entrepreneurs move from overwhelm to momentum.

Hi, Reader Can I say something out loud? Sometimes, email doesn’t feel hard because you don’t know what to say. It feels hard because it no longer feels like a conversation. You open a blank draft. You overthink the subject line. You wonder if anyone’s even reading. And after a few quiet sends… your motivation just disappears. It’s not strategy. It’s not discipline. It’s not that you “need better copy.” It’s that talking into the void gets exhausting. That’s why I love what Anna Crosby...

100% Responsibility

2025 is coming to a close! Have you reviewed the year yet? I did. And here's what I found out. I've been making excuses. Yes, I know better. But... This year has had its challenges, and I've been blaming my fatigue, which, yes, IS a REAL thing (perimenopause is no joke), BUT I've been using it as an excuse for not getting stuff done. My best focus time is in the morning. I'm an early bird, always have been. Afternoons are exhausting (even more so lately). I have always protected my morning...
