Collaboration & Community - The Growth Path Thats Winning In 2026

Funnel Lab Update | Behind the Scenes - January

This week has been a big one for me, so I wanted to share a quick behind-the-scenes update as we head into a new year.

Like many entrepreneurs right now, I’ve been planning my 2026 goals and asking myself one simple question: - (You have to take

@Doug Boughton

's 2026 Annual Planning Training - Straight Fire!)

What are the things that have actually moved the needle in my business over the last 3 months?

Here’s what has become plainly obvious to me:

People don’t struggle because they aren’t capable.

They struggle because they don’t have a clear path forward.

When there’s no clear path, you spend all your energy trying to figure out the next step instead of actually doing the things needed.

That lack of clarity is what slows progress — and creating a solution for this is what’s been driving my focus lately.

Here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been focused on the last couple of weeks:

Finished building the funnel for an upcoming 5-day challenge (running in the next couple of weeks)
Continued offering FREE setup calls for OfferLab members (I'm extending through January)
Completed
@Doug Boughton
2026 Annual Planning training and built my execution calendar for 2026
Continued to build and help my Collab Profits community members and refine my value-based content
Helped 4 OfferLab members with my free set up calls where they left the call with thieir offer created & launched. I also made sure they left the call with an actionable their next steps plan so they can know the next step. (I’ll be sharing one of these calls soon — there’s a lot to learn from it)

I Am Moving My 5 Day Challenge to the 17th

I planned to launch my 5-day challenge, but I decided to take another week to refine it.

I’d rather push out the date than rush to launch something that doesn’t fully help people move forward.

My success is 100% dependent on the success of the people I help, so I gotta make sure that it does that!

Collaboration and Community Is the Foundation To Build From

The last few months since we launched Offerlab have been transformative for me and my business, and I knew that I needed to share it with my community.

What I’ve created isn’t a theory or "shiny object," it's the exact process I’ve been testing and refining for a few months now, and it's built around the real actions I have taken and a collaboration and community growth strategy.

The foundation is simple:

Community-first growth process
Collaborative marketing
Growing together vs trying to figure everything out by yourself

Because the reality is:

We grow quicker when we share what's working and learn from each other
We learn faster what needs to be adjusted and get ideas that we wouldnt have come up on our own
We launch better offers and get them in front of more people when we work together

Final Thought - The Future of Entrepreneurship & What it Takes to Win In 2026

If you’re still trying to figure everything out on your own, I truly believe that incorporating collaboration and community is the game-changing pivot for any business.

That’s how I am winning in 2026

💬 Question for you:

What’s the biggest thing holding you back from getting momentum on OfferLab right now?

Btw, I would love your input on the funnel for my upcoming challenge. Screenshots and video of the funnel are below,
