Start 2026 With Clarity, Confidence and a Plan

The new year is one of the most powerful times to reset, refocus, and build the foundations for your most successful year yet. This hands-on, supportive workshop is designed to help you step into 2026 with a clear vision, a simple marketing plan, and the confidence to grow your business in a way that feels achievable and aligned.

Whether you’re starting something new, growing a side hustle, or ready to grow your business, you’ll leave this event with direction, structure, and practical next steps you can put into action immediately.

What We’ll Cover

We’ll walk through the exact steps to help you start the year feeling organised, focused, and ready to grow. Together, we’ll look at your big-picture vision, map out what you want 2026 to look like, and turn that into simple, practical plans.

You’ll get time to think, dream, and make decisions without the noise — plus plenty of guidance to help you shape your ideas into something real.

By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a clear direction, a confidence boost, and a marketing plan that feels achievable, not overwhelming.
