Description

Most people end the year trying to add more; more goals, more offers, more strategy. But expansion doesn’t come from addition. It comes from editing.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 D’s I use every December to reset before I build. We’ll talk about what it looks like to delete distractions, delegate with intention, digitize what matters, document your wisdom, and decide what’s next — so you can start the new year leading from clarity, not clutter.

This isn’t another systems checklist.

It’s a leadership reset.

A chance to clear space so your next level has room to land.

Because when everything has a place, you finally have the peace to lead from vision instead of reaction.

Inside This Episode
  • How to finish the year clean instead of just “strong”
     
  • The 5 D’s framework that simplifies your systems and restores your focus
     
  • Why clarity, not more effort, is your competitive edge for 2026
Remember
“You can’t build a new vision on old systems.
 Before you expand, you have to edit.”

If this episode challenged you to simplify, share it with another leader who’s building for peace and profit. Then tag me @drnikkicottis on instagram with your “D of the week” - what are you deleting, delegating, or finally deciding on before the year ends?
