By now, this is usually the moment when New Year’s resolutions start to wobble. The excitement fades. The to-do list feels longer. Doubt creeps in. If you’re just starting a business, or pushing yourself to make 2026 different - here’s your reminder: momentum doesn’t come from motivation — it comes from consistency. You don’t need a perfect plan. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to keep showing up — one small, intentional step at a time. Progress looks like: ✔️ asking questions ✔️ learning new tools ✔️ adjusting the plan ✔️ staying in the game when it gets uncomfortable The same discipline that carried you through service will carry you through entrepreneurship — just applied in a new way. This isn’t the “make it or break it” moment. It’s the decide to keep going moment. You’ve got this. And you don’t have to do it alone. 🇺🇸✨

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is how most progress in small business doesn’t come from big breakthroughs it comes from small changes that reduce friction. Things like: - Clarifying your offer so you explain it less - Creating a simple process you can repeat - Saying no to one thing that drains time or energy - Fixing one recurring problem instead of working around it These aren’t flashy moves, but they quietly make everything easier over time. A lot of us are experimenting as we go, and those small lessons are often more useful than big theories especially for people just getting started. What’s one small change you’ve made in your business that made things simpler or less stressful?

THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME TO AN IN PERSON CLASS WE OFFERED. Now that you are here, please send me a message (or email me) and tell me which classes you have taken. My team will confirm those and we will drop your toolkits into your account for you. You will find them in the classroom (that tab is sometimes turned off because we are editing, but Classroom is a main link at the top of the site when we are not editing - it is usually visible). Once we get you set up, you will be able to come here to get your toolkits anytime. - JULIE
