Every December, while most people are winding down, Farah and I step away from the noise of life and carve out two to three uninterrupted days to design the coming year. 

We have been doing this for four or five years now, and it has become one of the most important rituals in our life and business. 

This episode lifts the curtain on that entire process.

Instead of drifting into a new year hoping things will fall into place, we intentionally create the conditions for success. 

We book a quiet space, leave all distractions behind – including Caleb – and zoom out. 

We look at our life, our business, and our goals with fresh eyes, and make the big decisions that are almost impossible to make during the intensity of a normal working week.

The first part of our process focuses entirely on life. 

We map out every major date for the year ahead: trips back to the UK, holidays, birthdays, family commitments, concerts, and anything important to the people we love. 

This one step alone removes an enormous amount of stress. 

Instead of scrambling throughout the year or disappointing someone because we forgot a date, everyone knows exactly when we are available. 

It gives us breathing room, clarity, and a sense of control that so many people miss simply because they do not take the time to plan ahead.

We then move into a deeper, more reflective practice: writing letters to our loved ones as if we were no longer here. 

It is emotional, difficult, and incredibly grounding. 

Inspired by a challenge on a survival show, it forced us to stop and appreciate the life we have, the people around us, and the time we still get to spend together. 

It is something we now do every year because of how much perspective it gives.

From there, we set personal goals. 

Sometimes they are fun challenges, like mastering a skill in the gym. 

Sometimes they are meaningful milestones. 

Whatever they are, we make sure they are written down and chosen intentionally rather than casually hoped for.

Then we switch gears into the business. 

We update our Vision Traction Organiser, review our numbers, refine our long-term direction, and reverse-engineer the major business targets we want to hit in 2026. 

We build or refine our 12-month content roadmap, which has been one of the biggest time-saving systems we ever created. 

We talk about new ideas we want to add to our ecosystem, such as daily momentum emails, and we assess how feasible they are and how they support our clients.

We also take time to think strategically about our team. 

What does a career path look like for them? 

Where can they grow? 

How can we support their development while growing the business? 

This is work we never managed to do while relocating countries and adjusting to life in Dubai, so it is an important part of our end-of-year planning now.

Finally, we review all our offers. 

We examine what is outdated, what needs tightening, and what opportunities we can expand into. 

Updating our offer suite last year led directly to more high-level clients joining our programmes, so this has become a non-negotiable annual task.

If there is one message in this episode, it is this: do not enter 2026 by default. 

Enter it by design. 

Even if you do not hit every goal, the clarity alone puts you ahead of 99 per cent of people who drift into the new year without direction, only to find themselves overwhelmed, overcommitted, or disappointed.

This episode walks you through everything we do, step by step, so you can adapt the process for your own life and coaching business.
