I've talked to 100 coaches so far this year... Most are already overwhelmed. New year. New goals. New AI tools to learn. New funnels to build. New content calendars I watched someone yesterday try to explain their "2026 growth plans" to me. It involved: - 3 different AI writing tools - 2 CRMs - A funnel builder - A course platform - A community platform - A scheduling tool - An email platform - Something called "the automation layer" with make I got tired just listening. Here's what I'm doing instead: - Skool. - Notion. - BackPak That's it. Ads go to Skool. Content lives in Skool (and youtube/ig) Sales happen in Skool. Clients get delivered in Skool. Last month I spent $9K on ads and made $12K back in 30 days using this exact setup. This month? Already doubled that. So I'm running a free workshop to show you how. LIVE Workshop: January 15th How High-Ticket Coaches Are Using Skool to Sell More, Post Less, and Simplify The big idea I want to share is how the new features on skool make it really easy to separate out your leads, from your customers to your clients... and how to set everything up so that it works like a machine. ... or like a Skool Engine™ if you will ;) It's 90 minutes. Thursday, Jan 15th @ 10:30 AM PST / 1:30 PM EST And if you show up live... you'll get 3 new pretty epic GPT's I just built. This is for coaches already working with clients who are tired of juggling 47 platforms. we only have 300 spots on the call and we have 250 people registered. Register here It's only January 10th. You still have time to simplify before the year gets away from you. Dan Who's coming?

New Years Eve I got sick. Not regular sick. Psychedelic sickness. Mind numbing migraines. Sore throat. A cough that made me fear each breath because of the migraine pain it induced. Fever. Chills. A wisdom tooth decided to lock my jaw shut. My wife joked about my annual "man cold" until she got it 2 days ago and started her own journey through it. This wasn't the start to 2026 I planned. But maybe it was the one I needed? 3 days in bed. Sweaty. Surrendered. All the projects, content, and plans I wanted to build... they waited. Super frustrating. But I was left to sit with the pain, the surrender, and the idea that without health nothing else matters. 🕊️ A cool Spirit Download 10 days before New Years, my wife's family and I wrote down 10 intentions for 2026. We cut them into pieces, crumpled them up, and each day we'd either burn or throw away one piece without looking. Allowing spirit to guide what mattered most. Our #1 focus for 2026 would be revealed on Jan 1st. Want to guess what mine was? Health and body. The day I got sick ur hiLaRIous Spirit. But being grateful for the sickness was my mantra and as a result this sickness had 3 downloads for me that apply to both health and business. /// 1️⃣ Addition by subtraction Before I got sick I was feeling overwhelmed. The sickness forced me to ONLY focus on the few things I could actually do each day. I thought more about this and realized the path forward wasn't about adding. It was about releasing. Removal felt aligned with what my body was already doing during the sickness. Getting rid of things. Purging. I got rid of coffee. 50 Skool communities. Clothes. A load of things on my to-do list. Clutter. Expenses and subscriptions. Plans and expectations. Non-whole foods. All the apps on my phone. I even fully shaved my beard for the first time in 10+ years. I'm not done yet. I can see both in health and business I love to over-complicate things. The first step isn't adding a vision board.

We have some big plans brewing... Including a 90 day experiment right out of the gate in 2026! Details coming soon... just a little post christmas and pre new years teaser post, to let yall know we're still alive and well. Hope ya'll are having a great holidy! Would love to know.... What's your most exciting goal or target you have for 2026? LFG >>PS. 2026 Game Plan Workshop
