A Quick Way To Get 2026 Started Strong

The 2 Problems Most People Are Completely Missing Right Now

Many people are starting to talk about...

And promote for...

Preparing for 2026.

What most people are doing is this type of process...

Start thinking about what you want to get out of 2026...

So that on January 1st...

You can get the ball rolling.

But everyone who is thinking like this...

Is completely missing 2 problems.

By missing them...

You will actually get started in 2026 on the wrong foot...

And it will make your life more difficult.

So what are the two things?

The first is that there are still 2 weeks in the year.

What makes this a problem?

By waiting...

You will be coming into 2026 with no momentum.

All progress is the absolute most difficult at the beginning.

By waiting to start...

You will be making January 1st the absolute hardest place to start on yourself.

This brings us into the second problem...

The vast majority of people are going to be starting at exactly the same time...

All on January 1st.

This means that you will be at your absolute worst...

While simultaneously being in a flood of people who are all also at their worst...

Making you...

Trivial...

Insignificant...

Irrelevant...

And you will be viewed as just another person who is part of the “New Year’s Hype” that inevitably fail...

With over 50% of people giving up after the first month.

Why?

They are at their worst...

Amidst a flood of other people...

Meaning they are not getting seen...

Which is, quite frankly, discouraging.

As humans, we hate to fail...

And the longer we are failing at something...

The less likely we are to continue to pursue that thing.

It is just nature to desire to quit if we are at our absolute worst...

And not getting any traction...

Because no one is seeing us or considering us.

This is why most people will not go into 2026 strong...

And over 90% of people will give up on whatever goals they had at the beginning of the year...

All because of how they started the year.

If you want to change that outcome...

You need to act differently.

Want to get 2026 Started Strong?

Figure out what you want today...

And start going at it today.

Will it be great today?

No.

But it was not going to be great on January 1st either.

The difference, however...

Is that if you start now...

You will be more likely to be seen...

Because everyone else is “waiting” for January 1...

While you are making yourself seen and known while virtually no one is active.

Plus...

When January 1st gets started...

You will have more momentum going forward than anyone else...

Which will allow you to see yourself in a more positive light...

This makes it significantly easier to overcome the mass exodus of people who give up quickly.

If your goal is to get 2026 started strong...

You do not want to wait for 2026...

You still have two weeks in this year to begin to make progress...

While nearly everyone else is waiting.

It is like starting a race early...

Getting ahead of the bottlenecks that are created when vast numbers of people hit the same bottleneck at the same exact time.

That is one of the worst places to find yourself in a race, because you’ll want to move forward...

But there literally is not enough space to get where you want...

And you are forced to wait...

Until either people leave...

Or you eventually make your way through...

But by that point, you’re significantly further behind everyone who got ahead of the bottleneck.

Do not get trapped in the bottleneck, like the vast majority of people will find themselves on January 1st.

Start making moves now...

While the field is clear.

Now is your opportunity...

Move.
