It’s Never Too Late to Plan for 2026 and Beyond
Wednesday Planning Series — Dec 10, 2025

This week continues our gentle, practical Wednesday series—created to help you build a thriving future for your career and business, one kind and consistent step at a time.

It’s never too late to plan your next season. Whether you’re relaunching after a setback, scaling what already works, or quietly pivoting toward something truer, the path forward becomes lighter when you move with clarity and consistency. Over the coming Wednesdays, I’ll guide you through a calm, proven planning rhythm: clarify what you want, choose fewer priorities, and take small steps that compound. This series blends reflection with action, so you always know what to think about—and what to do next.

First 30–90 Days: Keep It Simple

Consistency beats intensity. Once you’ve defined your first milestone, the next step is to translate it into small, finishable actions. We aren’t optimizing for theatrics—we’re optimizing for traction. Simple, steady movement wins.

This Week’s Practice
Break Milestone 1 into 3–7 actions you can complete in the next 30–90 days. Assign dates and owners, even if the owner is you. Keep every action small enough to move forward in a single focused block of time. Review your progress once a week so you can stay on track and refine as you go.

This Week’s Micro-Action (5–15 minutes)

When in doubt, shrink the action until it feels almost embarrassingly doable—then do it. Small movement compounds faster than big, inconsistent effort.

Your next chapter is built in small, steady steps. Let’s take them together.

Clarify What “Success” Really Means for Your Next Season

It’s Never Too Late to Plan for 2026 and Beyond (Part 2)

It’s never too late to plan your future—whether you’re relaunching after a setback, scaling what already works, or quietly pivoting toward something more authentic.

As many people reach the end of a busy year or step into a new one, a common feeling emerges: I know I want things to be better…but I’m not sure what “better” actually looks like.

Speed without clarity leads to wheel-spinning. But when you define success in a way that feels humane, grounded, and aligned with your life, your efforts have direction. You know where you're heading. You know what matters. You know what to say yes to—and what to release.

This series continues with a simple but transformative step: clarifying what success means for you in the season ahead.

What You’ll Find in Each Issue

Every part of this series offers:

• A short reflection to anchor your thinking

• A simple practice you can complete with intention

• One tiny action you can take immediately

Clarify What “Success” Means for You

Success isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about how you experience your work and life on the way there.

When you define success clearly, you reduce decision fatigue, increase alignment, and create a filter for your energy, time, and focus. You stop sprinting without direction and begin moving with purpose.

This week, we set aside the external noise and craft a definition of success that belongs to you.

This Week’s Practice

Write a short definition of success for the next 90 days that includes both:

1. The outcomes you want

• Revenue, client numbers, key milestones, visibility, or progress in your business or career.

2. The experience you want

• How you want your workload to feel

• What boundaries you want to honor

• What pace you want to maintain

• How you want to show up in your leadership, creativity, or well-being

Then, choose two to three signals that show you’re on track. Examples:

• Conversations booked

• Proposals sent

• Offers accepted

• Customer feedback received

• Lead time reduced

• Energy levels stabilized

• Consistency maintained

Signals keep your vision grounded and measurable without being rigid or overwhelming.

This Week’s Micro-Action (5–15 Minutes)

Place your signals somewhere you’ll see them every week—at the top of your to-do list, inside your planner, or as a small note on your digital calendar.

This quiet reminder helps you steer your week with clarity rather than urgency.

Closing Reflection

When you take the time to define what success looks and feels like, you give your future a shape your current self can work toward. You create a soft but steady framework—one that supports momentum without sacrificing well-being.

Remember: clarity isn’t a luxury. It’s a form of self-support.

By naming what matters now, you make it far easier to build the next season of your career, business, or life with intention.

One thoughtful definition today can reshape the next 90 days—and possibly the next chapter of your work entirely.
