I came across a post on LinkedIn by a career coach I really respect, and it honestly a hit. It’s a strong call for all of us to start being intentional about 2026 from now, instead of carrying the same struggles into another year. A few questions from the post that stood out to me: • Will you carry the same struggles into a new year, or re-strategize and scale? • Will you keep applying randomly, or position yourself so opportunities can’t ignore you? • Will you keep guessing your next move, or step into a proven, scalable business model? • Will you stay burned out, or build something of your own with real impact? One line that really stuck with me: “Growth always begins with a decision.” The version of us in 2026 is being shaped right now by the choices we make today. I thought this would be worth sharing here for anyone who needs that push to think bigger and plan smarter. Original post by Ogundipe Gafar (Career Branding Specialist & Resume Writer). You can check him out if you like. Let's bring this here to discuss, what are you intentionally working on now for your 2026 self? You need a proper plan to achieve that million dollar business, not guessing, real plans. If you haven't figured out your plans yet, let discuss. We are here to help each other grow.

Pause before you answer this. Is 2026 going to be another year where you work hard but stay in the same place or the year you intentionally build a million-dollar business? Because big results don’t come from wishing. They come from decisions made early and executed daily. This is your wake-up call. What you must work on if 2026 is your breakthrough year First, understand this truth: A million-dollar business is built on skills, focus, and leverage, not motivation or luck. You need to stop chasing inspiration and start acquiring high-income skills, marketing, customer psychology, branding, systems, and scaling. These are the skills that turn ideas into money and effort into profit. Without them, even the best idea will fail. You can build an income stream alongside your current business, each will complement the other and you will have multiple stream of income, if one sales is low, while you are strategizing on how to rebuild, the other will stand as a fuel because it's growing Impressively. Next, you must commit to one clear business model. Distraction is the silent killer of success. Million-dollar builders don’t try everything, they choose one path and go deep until it works. - Why E-commerce should be your top priority in 2026 E-commerce is not dead. It is not saturated. It is proven. People have been building wealth with e-commerce for years, and they are still scaling today because people will never stop buying. What changed is the strategy, not the opportunity. E-commerce allows you to: - Build a business that runs beyond your time - Sell to a global market - Start lean and scale with data - Create a real asset, not just a hustle This is why it remains the number one online business model for building serious wealth. Other business models that can reach a million dollars in 2026 - E-commerce (dropshipping, branded stores, private label) - Digital products and memberships - Systemized service businesses and agencies - Content creation with strong monetization - SaaS or AI tools solving real problems

Be honest for a second. Have you ever had those days where you follow all the “rules”, you work hard, you stay consistent, you try to be positive, and yet your life looks EXACTLY the same month after month? I’ve been there. And it’s one of the most painful feelings in the world. Because it starts to make you question yourself. “Am I doing something wrong? Or am I the problem?” Here’s the truth that woke me up years ago: - Hard work alone doesn’t change your life. New vehicles do. New opportunities do. New skills do. Most people aren’t stuck because they’re lazy. They’re stuck because they’re climbing the wrong ladder. For years, I was doing everything “right” too: - Waking up early - Doing my 9–5 - Saving money - Following the traditional path But nothing changed, until I finally accepted something: If I wanted a different life, I had to be open to a different path. That one decision shifted EVERYTHING for me. It’s how I eventually found the opportunity that allowed me to quit my job and build something real, something that actually rewarded my effort. Now let me ask you, and I want you to be honest: - Where do YOU feel stuck right now? - What have you been doing “right” that still isn’t giving results? - What’s the area of your life that feels like a loop? - What’s one thing you know you should change, but haven’t yet? This community is full of people who are trying, grinding, and pushing, but sometimes you need a fresh perspective, a new skill, or a new direction to unlock the next level. If you’re open to it, share your truth below This might be the moment someone else reads your comment and thinks “Wow, I’m not alone, and maybe there IS more out there for me.” Let’s talk. Let’s be real. Let’s grow.
