Stop Setting Goals

2025 is in the books. I hope you had a great one. Personally, I'm very optimistic about 2026. It's going to be a great year. One thing I've done differently this year is my goals and resolutions. My goals and resolutions are more visual and behaviour-based this year. While I'm a fan of to-dos — the big picture direction of your life is better served by how you feel and visualize about what you're moving towards. This may come as a surprise to you, but…

Setting goals is overrated.

What is a better decision is setting the habits and actions in place that will make those happen. It's an important distinction, and one that I have learned from reading the book, Atomic Habits. I'm sure you've seen it in a bookstore. 135,700+ reviews on Amazon, and a solid 5 out of 5 star review.

It's a book everybody should read. Now is the time to read this book if you want to ensure that 2026 is awesome and productive for you – not just in terms of business but in terms of your life.

• • Got a messy house? Read the book.

• • Need to make more money? Read the book.

• • Have trouble losing weight? You get the idea.

Everything you do is predicated by your thoughts and habits. So here's my gift for you. I broke down some of the MOST important insights in the book for you. And I created a short podcast that explains the key points. Whether you have read Atomic Habits yet or not, you will get extreme value from this email course I put together. It's free. You can get the course for free here. Remember, where you are now is a result of your habits. Your current situation is a lagging indicator of your habits. You'll learn how to uplevel your life from my free course. And with AI, there's never been a more important time to get off to a great start to the New Year. Get it now! Your 2026 will thank you! PS – If you are an entrepreneur, it's time to grab your odometer reading so you can write off any business-related expenses.
