How To Make 2026 Your Best Year

January 12, 2026

Are you ready to stop making excuses and start building the empire you've been dreaming about? This comprehensive strategy will show you how to eliminate what's holding you back and build a foundation for lasting wealth.

Eliminate Energy Drainers

Before adding anything new to your life, you must subtract what's holding you back. Most women fail because they try to do more instead of strategically removing what drains them.

Remove Vampire People

  • Audit every relationship in your life and categorize people as those who drain your energy, keep you neutral, or elevate you.
  • Create a no-contact list for 2026 that includes anyone who gossips, wastes your time, or fails to support your growth.
  • Eliminate even neutral relationships because they consume precious time and energy without moving you forward.
  • Understand that successful people strategically allocate their limited daily energy only to relationships that serve their goals.
  • Accept that lonely seasons during growth periods are temporary and necessary for reaching your next level.

Cut Out Broke People Activities

  • List every single activity you do in a day, from getting dressed to calling friends.
  • Eliminate 95% of activities that don't make you money, help you grow, or make you better.
  • Apply the 2-3 year rule: if something won't matter in 2-3 years, don't spend more than 2-3 minutes thinking about it.
  • Replace busy work with productive work that directly contributes to your financial goals.

Exit Mental Energy Leaks

  • Stop consuming yourself with things you cannot control, like what others think of you or drama.
  • Eliminate reality TV, drama content, and negative social media from your life completely.
  • Follow only people who discuss business, growth, and money on social media.
  • Focus your mental capacity exclusively on thoughts that make you money, help you elevate, or make you better.

Eliminate Financial Drainers

  • Track where every dollar goes and identify spending that doesn't serve your goals.
  • Stop emotional spending on makeup, beauty products, fashion, and dining out to feel better temporarily.
  • Evaluate every purchase by asking whether it directly serves your goals before buying.
  • Invest money into things that generate ROI instead of saving or spending on liabilities.

Build Your Wealth Foundation

Shift from chasing money to building wealth systems that generate income consistently without constant hustle.

Master One High-Income Skill

  • Choose a single high-income skill and become the absolute best at it through dedicated practice and learning.
  • Invest a minimum of 10% of your monthly income into learning and developing skills.
  • Focus on skills that create lasting value, such as sales, social media branding, investing, public speaking, and communication.
  • Understand that your skills are the only assets no one can take from you.
  • Invest hundreds of thousands in education to avoid losing that same amount through mistakes.

Focus on One Income Stream

  • Scale one business to six or seven figures before adding any additional income streams.
  • Avoid becoming a jack-of-all-trades who damages their credibility by jumping between opportunities.
  • Build your reputation by being known for one specific expertise that people associate with you.
  • Add complementary skills only after mastering your primary business and making it profitable.

Think in Terms of Multiplication

  • View every dollar as a multiplier rather than something to save or spend.
  • Invest money back into yourself, your skills, and your business for exponential returns.
  • Recognize that the best investments are typically in yourself rather than financial markets.
  • Train your mind to constantly identify opportunities to grow your money.

Master Your Inner Game

Your mindset determines whether you'll sabotage or sustain your success, especially as a woman navigating wealth-building.

Shift from Permission to Action

  • Make major decisions without consulting anyone or asking for permission.
  • Act on decisions immediately after making them to prevent overthinking and hesitation.
  • Decide first and inform people second, or don't inform them at all.
  • Understand that leaders don't need permission to lead.

Move from People-Pleasing to Boundaries

  • Recognize that other people's comfort is not your responsibility.
  • Say no without flinching, overexplaining, or feeling guilty.
  • Choose being respected over being liked because respect leads to money while being liked keeps you broke.
  • Protect your energy as if your life depends on it, because it does.

Embrace Abundance Over Scarcity

  • Celebrate other women's success as proof that you can achieve the same results.
  • Collaborate with other women instead of competing out of jealousy or envy.
  • Understand there is enough money in the world for all women to become multi-millionaires.
  • Pull other women up with you and create opportunities for collective success.

Transform from Victim to Victor

  • Take 100% responsibility for all results in your life, both good and bad.
  • View everything as either a win or a lesson, never as a reason to quit.
  • Think in solutions rather than problems when facing challenges.
  • Refuse to give your power away by blaming circumstances or other people for your situation.

Execute Your Brand Strategy

Turn your skill into a brand that generates multiple income streams through strategic social media presence.

Build Your Personal Brand

  • Understand that your brand transforms one skill into unlimited reach and scalable income.
  • Share your learning journey publicly so your audience grows with you and trusts your expertise.
  • Create content about the process, wins, and lessons as you master your chosen skill.
  • Document your transformation from beginner to expert to build authentic credibility.
