The Small Win That Matters

Identifying and Leveraging Small Wins for a Productive 2026

In this episode of The Textile Creative Podcast, hosted by Virginia Wygal, the focus shifts from how 2025 felt to identifying what genuinely worked. Instead of listing all achievements, Virginia emphasizes the importance of recognizing one small win from 2025 that quietly proved something moved forward. She shares three simple filters for evaluating these wins: it happened without forcing, it's repeatable, and it fits with your actual capacity.

Virginia warns against overcorrecting by chasing single wins too aggressively and advises using these wins as directional signals for the next year. This episode is about bringing clarity and focus to your creative business strategy for 2026 without adding pressure or chaos.
