There are 50 days left in 2026, and I want to talk about what you do with them.

There are 50 days left in 2026, and I want to talk about what you do with them.

Around this time every year, I see a lot of founders quietly decide that the rest of the year is a write-off. Things slow down, everyone’s in holiday mode, and the plan becomes “I’ll think about growth and scaling and all the new stuff in January.”

I’ve been there myself.

But you’ve got another option. You can use these last weeks to get your foundations in order, so that when January comes around you’re ready to go instead of spending the first two months trying to find your feet again.

Any good fitness coach will tell you the same thing at this time of year.

Have the Christmas dinner, take a day or two off from the gym, enjoy yourself. Just don’t take the whole six weeks off, because you’ll walk into January feeling like you’re starting from scratch, and that’s a horrible way to begin a year.

Your business is no different.

I’ll be honest with you, because I don’t think enough business coaches are saying this out loud.

You can’t really afford to check out right now. So much has changed in the last couple of years. AI is changing how businesses run. Customers are changing what they need, how they spend, and what they’re willing to spend on. Being a bit behind when the year starts costs you a lot more today than it did a few years ago.

I’m not saying this to scare anyone. I’m saying it because I care about the founders I work with, and I want you to walk into 2027 with your plans sorted and your business ready for whatever the year brings.

A lot of the founders I work with are doing exactly that right now.

Some are joining my long term coaching programmes, and others are booking ad hoc sessions just to sit down and map out their 2027 plans properly.

If you’d like to do the same, send me a message and let’s talk!
