We cannot become what we want by remaining what we are. — Max DePree
The past few days (for me anyway) the notifications were flooding in: “Make more money in December!” “Plan your 2026 hustle!” "Sell more, sell Cybe-Monday/Black Friday" A little overwhelming. As we stand at the threshold of a new year, I want to share something I am learning: There’s a difference between making your current life better and CREATING your next life. (Read that back 👀) Most of us spend our energy on optimizing. We refine who we already are. It’s valuable, but it’s not transformation. Transformation invites you to become someone you have not yet been. 👀 Consider this: 77% of profitable solopreneurs got there not by perfecting who they were, but by giving themselves permission to become a new version of themselves. So, as the world shouts about doing more, I invite you to focus on becoming more. Your Gentle Bridge into 2026: 1. HONOR YOUR GROWTH: Before you write a single goal, write down three specific ways you’ve improved this year. Not the big wins, but the quiet shifts. The boundary you set. The fear you faced. You have done more than you realize. Honor that. 2. MEET YOUR NEXT SELF: Now, close your eyes. Ask: Who is the version of me that wants to emerge in 2026? 3. PROTECT YOUR PEACE: December doesn’t have to be a grind. Let it be a bridge. A time to rest, reflect, and realign. Your wellbeing isn't separate from your success ... it's the foundation. 👀 2026 is extending you an invitation. Not to do more, but to become more fully yourself. If this resonates, drop a note below and share one small, meaningful way you've grown this year. Your 2026 isn’t about perfecting who you are now. Maybe this Isn't About Your 2026 Goals. It's About Your 2026 Self. It’s about giving yourself full permission to become who you’re meant to be. ---------------------------------------- Quick update: I am working very intensively behind the scenes on The Unleash To Profit Society, restructuring. This also means that no one can join for free at all for now (unless invited by me directly), which allows me to focus on better servicing my ideal Avatar.
