In this concise advisory monologue, Joshua Nelson urges agency owners to intentionally design a better 2026 rather than hoping for improvement. He outlines a five‑step framework: (1) set a single, exciting yearly goal; (2) break the goal into monthly milestones; (3) group months into quarterly targets to know where you should be after each 90‑day period; (4) reverse‑engineer the key performance indicators (KPIs) needed to achieve the outcome and to monitor progress; and (5) enforce a hard stop at the end of each month to review results, identify what worked or didn’t, and adjust the plan. Nelson claims that consistently applying this process will give owners far more control over their business trajectory. He concludes by promoting a live December workshop for members of his 7 Figure Agency, inviting viewers to comment “workshop” for details.

If you want your 2026 to be better than your 2025, that has to be an intentional decision. Most agency owners drift into the new year and hope it feels better, but better years don't just show up. They're engineered. Here's how to build a year that actually works. Step 1, set a goal for the year. One clear target that you're excited and passionate about. Step 2, break the goal down by months. Step 3, roll those months into quarters so you know exactly where you need to be at the end of each 90 days to stay on track. Step 4, reverse engineer the KPIs, the key things that you'll need to put in place to bring the outcome into reality. And also so that you know what you're measuring against to know if you're slipping off track. Step 5, put a hard stop at the end of each month. Review your outcomes, review what worked, what didn't, and then adjust the plan accordingly. Do this for a full year and you'll be shocked at how much more in control you are. Skip it and you'll wind up in the same loop. I'm going to do a live workshop with our 7 Figure Agency members in December to build out their 2026 plan.
