If you want real clarity heading into the new year, here’s a simple six-part reflection that will show you exactly where your business grew, where it stalled, and where the biggest opportunities are waiting for you. Use this like you’re getting guidance from a strategic mentor who knows your patterns and wants you to finish the year stronger than you started. 1. What I Didn’t See ComingIdentify the opportunities you barely touched or completely overlooked. These are usually the areas that could have moved the needle the fastest. 2. What Gave Me the Most LiftLook at the actions, content, habits or decisions that created real momentum. These are the things you should double down on, not reinvent. 3. Where I Left Money Sitting on the TableReview your offers, pricing, follow up, funnels, automations, partnerships and quick wins you didn’t implement. There’s usually hidden revenue sitting right there. 4. Where My Visibility Could Have Been HigherThink about the moments you could have stepped forward more. Missed content angles, collaborations you didn’t pursue, authority plays you held back on. 5. Where My Operations Slowed Me DownBe honest about the bottlenecks. What could have been systemised, delegated, or streamlined so you had more time for the work that actually grows the business. 6. The Single Move That Changes the Game for Next YearChoose the one decision that will create the most momentum. Not five things. One. The move that will shift everything else. When you go through these six parts with honesty, the path into the new year becomes very clear.

After speaking with hundreds of people inside this space, I’ve noticed the same three patterns showing up again and again.They look harmless, but they’re silently destroying your conversions. Let’s break them down so you can spot them and fix them fast. 1. You’re describing your offer instead of solving a real problem Most people talk about their offer…But they never speak to the actual tension their audience is living with. When your content only says what your offer is, the brain has nothing meaningful to latch onto. No urgency, no emotion, no curiosity. And when nothing disrupts your buyer’s thought pattern, they keep scrolling. Strong content shows people the tension they’re stuck in and why it matters. 2. You’re trying to educate people into buying This one is a big trap. Many believe that giving more information will convince people to buy. But teaching too much actually has the opposite effect. When you overload someone with knowledge, you remove the tension they need to feel before taking action. Your job isn’t to teach everything. Your job is to make the problem unmistakably clear so the next step feels obvious. 3. You’re posting, but you’re not creating “buying moments” Plenty of people share tips, stories, and value… but none of it leads the buyer toward a decision. A buying moment happens when your audience realizes: “I can’t keep doing it this way.” You create that moment by: • Highlighting a pattern they’re stuck in • Showing the cost of staying there • Pointing to a better path they can take When your content does that, your audience becomes invested. And invested people buy.

I swear the more time I spend watching this whole AI world, the more obvious it becomes that we’re heading into a full blown split. Not the dramatic kind you get when your knee cracks getting out of bed. A different kind of split. Everyone keeps talking about “AI tools” and “automation” and “new opportunities”. Meanwhile half of us are still trying to figure out where the menu button went after the last update. From what I can tell, there are going to be two types of creators in 2026. Group One: The Tech Olympians.They love AI so much they probably whisper sweet nothings to their Chatbots at night. They build systems, stack automations, and make content that looks like a software demo. They move fast, they experiment nonstop, and they definitely have a special keyboard with extra buttons. Group Two: The Rest of Us.We don’t want to become mini engineers. We don’t want 47-step workflows. We don’t want to feel like we need three monitors, a 12 page checklist, and a caffeine IV drip just to post a video. We want things that make sense before our morning tea kicks in. The funny thing is nobody talks to Group Two. It’s like the industry assumes we all want to turn into little tech startups. Meanwhile most people just want something that works and doesn’t give them heart palpitations. And honestly, I get it. We’re tired. We’re overstimulated. We have watched more tutorials than any human brain should be asked to process. Half of us still haven’t recovered from whatever TikTok changed last week. Here is the real plot twist.2026 won’t belong to the creators who do the most. It’ll belong to the ones who make everything simpler. The ones who can explain things without making everyone feel like they missed 14 years of schooling. The ones who say, “You don’t need all the things. You just need the right ones.” The ones who remember that humans are using this stuff, not robots. People assume the online space is saturated. No. Everyone just sounds the same because they’re all sprinting after the same updates.

Instead of watching Netflix tonight have a conversation with Chatgpt about what you want next year to look like ...Work out the life you want to be living and how you're gonna make it happen.Make 2026 "THE" year everything changed
