Your 2026 Growth Map: Combining Vision, Strategy & Action to Achieve Your Goals
If you’ve followed me long enough, you already know I’m not here for the “new year, new me” fluff. What I am here for is clarity, alignment, practical magic, and helping you build a business that doesn’t chew you up and spit you out by February.
2026 has big “let’s do this properly” energy. Not the hustle-til-you-break version — the intentional, strategic, sustainable version. The version where your business grows, and you do too.
So, let’s map out your 2026 Growth Map together — the three-part framework I use in my own life and business, and with the humans I mentor and support every day.
1. Vision: Get Crystal Clear on Where You’re Going
A vision isn’t a fluffy Pinterest board or a list of vague wishes. It’s a grounded, honest look at where you want to be by the end of 2026.
And yes — clarity is a game-changer.
Ask yourself:
What do I want my business to feel like?
How much energy do I actually want to expend weekly?
What do I want to be known for?
Where do I want my revenue to grow, and what can gently fall away?
Your vision sets the tone.
But here’s the kicker: it has to be aligned with your real life, not the fantasy version where you have infinite spoons, unlimited childcare, and twelve hours a day to work uninterrupted.
Dream big — but dream realistically.
Your 2026 vision should be powerful enough to pull you forward but practical enough that you don’t burn out by Easter.
2. Strategy: Turn That Vision into a Roadmap
Strategy is where your vision stops being hypothetical and starts becoming something you can execute.
This is where you:
✔️ Break the year into quarters
✔️ Set priorities (not 18 — more like 2 per quarter)
✔️ Map projects to timelines, resources, and energy levels
✔️ Decide what to automate, delegate, or delete
A strong strategy honours both your ambition and your capacity.
Because here’s the truth I learned the hard way (hello MS, my uninvited business partner):
If your strategy doesn’t consider your energy, it won’t survive real life.
Build a strategy that:
Supports your health
Protects your boundaries
Makes your business stronger, not heavier
Turns your goals into clear, achievable steps
Strategy is the skeleton of your 2026 growth — without it, your vision is just a pretty idea.
3. Action: Move with Intention, Not Chaos
Here’s where most people fall over.
Not because they’re lazy — but because their action doesn’t match their vision or strategy.
Action is where consistency beats intensity every single time.
It’s about creating micro-momentum.
It’s about small steps that stack.
It’s about sustainable effort, not sprinting until you need a three-week nap.
This year, focus on action that looks like:
Weekly planning sessions
Non-negotiable boundaries (even tiny ones count)
Systems that do the heavy lifting
Checking in with yourself (emotionally + energetically)
Tracking progress in ways that don’t involve beating yourself up
Action isn’t about doing everything.
It’s about doing the right things, at the right time, for the right reasons.
The win is staying in motion — not burning out trying to reach the finish line by tomorrow.
