Episode 44: New Year, BIGGIE You: How to Set Business Goals That Actually Work in 2026

In Episode 44 of Never Stop Dreaming Biggie, I'm kicking off 2026 with a powerful solo episode about setting business goals that actually work and avoiding the new year burnout that stops most entrepreneurs by February. If you've ever felt the pressure to accomplish everything at once in January, struggled with staying consistent throughout the year, or need clarity on what to focus on first, this episode gives you the framework to build sustainable momentum all year long.

As we step into 2026, I'm sharing my personal approach to vision boards, goal setting, and introducing the revolutionary Four Cs framework (Calm, Confidence, Clarity, Connection) that will shape The Brighter Side Society and this podcast throughout the year. This isn't about overwhelming yourself with 50 resolutions—it's about strategic focus, sustainable energy, and building the business you actually want without sacrificing your sanity or your life.

I dive deep into why focusing on ONE big goal for the year is more powerful than scattering your energy across dozens of projects, how to break down that massive dream into manageable 30-60-90 day milestones, and the Dream Tracker method that keeps me accountable and on track. You'll hear about my vision board celebration with The Brighter Side community, the power of visualization backed by action, and why consistency throughout the year beats January intensity every single time.

This episode also explores how to use AI as your strategic planning partner, the transformative power of my 10-minute prayer and journaling practice for business clarity, and why finding your accountability partner or business community is non-negotiable for success. I'm getting real about imposter syndrome, celebrating wins before setting new goals, and the importance of balancing ambition with calm—because burnout doesn't build empires.

The "B" in BIGGIE stands for Believe - and believing in your vision requires both seeing it clearly (hello, vision boards!) and taking consistent action every single day. This episode gives you permission to dream BIGGIE while staying grounded in practical, sustainable strategies that actually work.
