Ready to finally start a business in 2026 instead of just talking about it?

In this first episode of the year, business coach and host Shannon Russell walks you through a simple, realistic 90-day Q1 plan to launch your business by March 31, 2026. If you’ve been sitting on a business idea, dreaming about quitting your 9–5, or wanting to add a new offer to your existing business, this pep-talk-meets-strategy session is your green light.

You’ll learn how to turn your idea into a clear business concept, validate it with real people, and set up the core foundations of your business in the first quarter of the year, without burning out or trying to do everything at once. Shannon breaks Q1 into three focused months so you can move from “someday” to “it’s happening” with a step-by-step roadmap.

This episode of the Second Act Success Podcast is a must-listen!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to use Q1 2026 as your launch season (and why the first 90 days matter so much)

How to break your giant to-do list into micro action steps you can actually finish
A 90-day goal-setting framework to keep you on track through January, February, and March

If you’re a woman in a 9–5 job, a busy mom, or an early-stage entrepreneur who wants to start an online business in 2026, this episode will give you the clarity, confidence, and practical steps to get moving in Q1—so by the end of the year, you’re running the business you’ve been dreaming about.
