I’m Not Setting Resolutions for 2026
The First Days of the New Year
There’s something sacred about the first few days of a new year.
The calendar has officially turned—but the world is still quiet enough to hear yourself think.
Before the noise starts.
Before the pressure to declare goals, resolutions, or a “new you.”
Instead of rushing into all of that, I’ve been sitting with one question:
What actually matters going forward?
Not what sounds good.
Not what looks productive.
But what I’m no longer willing to compromise on.
My Vision for 2026
2026 feels expansive—but not chaotic.
I’m building businesses that are:
- Aligned instead of exhausting
- Profitable without being performative
- Grounded in expertise, not hustle
This next season is about depth over noise, impact over optics, and ownership over permission.
And honestly?
That clarity didn’t come from planning harder.
It came from deciding what’s non-negotiable.
My 2026 Non-Negotiables
Here are a few I’m carrying with me into this year:
- Clarity before commitment – If it’s not a hell yes, it’s a no.
- Expertise over approval – I don’t need to prove what I already know.
- Rest as a strategy – Burnout is not a badge of honor.
- Revenue with intention – Money is a tool, not the goal.
- Building for myself – Not shrinking to fit systems that were never built for me.
As You Step Into 2026…
I’ll leave you with this:
What are you no longer negotiating with yourself about?
That answer might tell you more about your next chapter than any resolution ever could.
More soon,
Char
