As we close out the year, I wanted to take a moment to pause, not just to look ahead, but to acknowledge everything we’ve done together.
Week after week, you showed up.
You made space for growth.
You committed to elevating yourself and your business, even when life and work were full.
That consistency matters more than you probably realize.
One of the biggest themes we kept coming back to this year was intention. Growth doesn’t happen by accident, and neither does confidence. It’s built through clarity, reflection, and making thoughtful decisions about how you want your business and your life to look.
As you start thinking about 2026, remember this: strategy isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what actually moves the needle and supports the kind of business you want to run. You don’t need everything figured out today, just a clear direction and the willingness to keep showing up for it.
As we talked about this week, building your 2026 strategy starts with intention. Before the calendar turns, it’s worth slowing down and getting clear on what you actually want next year to look like, not just in revenue, but in time, balance, and how you show up in your business. A strong strategy gives your goals structure and direction. It helps you focus on fewer, better priorities and make decisions with confidence instead of reacting to everything that comes your way. You don’t need a perfect plan yet just clarity, honesty, and a starting point.
What made this year so special wasn’t just the topics we covered, it was the conversations.
The questions you asked.
The insights you shared.
The honesty, support, and perspective you brought into the space each week.
You didn’t just show up for yourselves, you showed up for each other. That kind of community is powerful, and it’s something I’m incredibly proud of.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for your engagement.
Thank you for trusting this space as part of your growth journey.
Watching you challenge yourselves, refine your businesses, and step more confidently into your roles as business owners has been one of the most rewarding parts of this year for me.
I’m genuinely excited about what’s ahead. New goals. New strategies. New opportunities to continue elevating, together.
We’ll take everything we learned this year and build on it with even more intention, clarity, and confidence next year.
Take a moment to be proud of how far you’ve come. You earned it.
Thank you for being here, for showing up, and for contributing to this community week after week. I can’t wait to do it all again next year.
Until next time, keep on elevating,
Laura
