Are you ready for 2026? Many businesses are focusing on the wrong things right now, but setting specific, measurable goals today could set you up for massive growth next year. In this episode, we share the importance of goal-setting and how it should be the top priority as you plan for your company’s future.

We explore how most businesses fail to reach their potential because they lack clear, transparent goals, especially at the leadership level. And we examine real-world examples of businesses that didn’t set measurable objectives and discuss how companies can reverse-engineer their success by breaking down their annual goals into smaller, actionable pieces.

We also give you the blueprint to ensure your 2026 is a massive success. Whether you're in charge of a marketing department or running a multi-million-dollar business, we challenge you to define exactly what you want to achieve and the steps to get there.
