You can’t win 2026 in January. Nor can you lose it in January, either.
So if we`re not to make a success of 2026 through herculean effort in the first days and weeks of the year, how can we be smarter in ensuring we`re successful this year?
First, we can ask ourselves two questions, one retrospective, and one prospective:
What advice would I give myself of a year ago?
What would my life need to look like in 12 months to consider this year a success?
The answer to both questions is likely similar, and points to the work we need to do first.
Then, we can ask ourselves: What type of person would I need to be to do this?
That`s your PERFORMANCE IDENTITY for 2026 (and probably the rest of your life).
Aim at being that person everyday and the rest will follow.
