The 2026 Blueprint: Why a Strategic Review of This Year is Your Most Powerful Planning Tool
Dec 07, 2025
Good Morning, Goal-Getter!
As we move through the second half of this year, it's easy to keep our gaze fixed firmly on the future, chasing the next milestone on the horizon. But I want to invite you to pause and consider a powerful truth:
If you want a different 2026, you must be willing to look back at 2025.
This isn't about dwelling on the past or criticizing your performance. This is the strategic work of an architect. You cannot design a stronger, more aligned future without first understanding the foundation you are building upon.
Looking back with intention is how you:
- Harvest the Wisdom: You extract the lessons from your challenges so you don't have to repeat them.
- Recognize Your Power: You see where you were resilient, innovative, and courageous, giving you the confidence to do it again.
- Identify the Gaps: You get crystal clear on what needs to shift—in your strategy, your mindset, and your energy—to create the results you truly desire.
Your 2026 will not magically be different. It will be different because you choose to be the deliberate creator of it. And that creative process begins now, with a clear-eyed, compassionate review of the year you are in.
It’s the most powerful move you can make to ensure the next year is not just a repetition of the last, but a true evolution of your vision.
To the leader you are and the one you are becoming,
