Where will you show up in 2026?

Aloha Entrepreneurs,

This week, I hosted a small Holiday Tea Tasting with a few friends. We sipped, sampled, and paired each tea with one of the beautiful pastries from our local Nanako Bakery. We jokingly called it a “Tea Flight”—like a wine flight, minus the alcohol. By the end of the afternoon, we were all a little giddy in the best way. There’s something deeply grounding about slowing down and sharing simple moments with people you care about.

And honestly, that grounding feels important right now. Our routines, our relationships, and our vision for what’s next. This week’s message is an invitation to gently lift your gaze and begin shaping your vision for 2026 with intention, clarity, and hope.

Where will you show up in 2026?

As we start looking ahead to 2026, I’ve been revisiting something I return to every year — my business vision. I’ve just updated my 2026 Business Vision Board Workbook, and you can download it here:

This year, the workbook focuses on three areas:

Sales goals
Visibility goals
Income goals

Let's spend a moment on visibility. Visibility isn’t about being everywhere.
It’s about being intentional about where and how you show up. For some, that’s social media. For others, it’s networking, partnerships, referrals, or being more consistent in spaces that already feel aligned.

There’s no one right way — only what works for you. Here are a few questions to reflect on:

Where will you show up consistently?
How will you reach out and be visible?
What systems will support your visibility?
What other ways would you like to be seen next year?

When I picture 2026 for myself, this is what I see:

In business:

Enjoying my Entrepreneurs Collab Circle Skool group
Supporting entrepreneurs in my “Get It Done” coaching group
Working in a way that feels steady and connected

In life:

Learning how to bake sourdough bread
Knitting "throws" for friends
Playing more mahjong and enjoying slower moments

That’s the power of vision work — it’s not just about business. It’s about how you want your life to feel. If this resonates, I invite you to download the 2026 Business Vision Board Workbook and take some quiet time to reflect.
