Did you miss me? I missed you. I missed the replies to my emails, the ideas, the conversations.

But I also loved the break. I've refreshed my mental, physical, emotional and spiritual energy. Which feels amazing.

And now it is 2026! How exciting. We're really lucky to be standing at the start line of another beautiful year on planet earth.

Of course not everything is perfect. Of course there will be challenges. Of course we have yet to fulfil all of our ambitions.

But! We're alive and able to explore ourselves and the world around us. Which is pretty cool, don't you think?

So, shall we make some plans?

Now, it is fashionable at this time of year to create new habits. My gym is annoyingly full at the moment 😆

It's also fashionable to do the opposite. To knowingly say "this is the worst time of year for resolutions" and to put off self-improvement until the spring.

Of course both of these things are true if they feel true to you.

And they are not at all true if they don't.

So...you do you. It's fine.

But, if you are ready for a fresh start, a new leaf, a better version of you, then I am here to help.

In the next couple of weeks I'm going deep on all things goal-setting and goal-achieving to help all of my clients and you lovely people too.

So, make sure you read along. And let me know if you have any goals or plans. I'd love to hear them.

Oh, and tomorrow, watch out for a very special offer to help you make 2026 amazing. You're going to love it.

Have a brilliant day, Stephen
