26 Lessons for 2026

I’ve never been big on resolutions.

I believe in standards.

For many I work with 2025 was a year of building identity, systems, community, discipline. 2026 is about living it out!

These aren’t theories.

They’re lessons forged through leadership, business, faith, family, wins, losses, and real conversations with people who are serious about growth.

Here are 26 lessons I’m carrying into 2026.

* Chase outcomes, not goals.

* Discipline creates freedom. Every time.

* Identity precedes performance.

* Being busy is not the same as being effective.

* The standard you walk past becomes the standard you accept.

* Iron sharpens iron but only if you allow friction.

* The right people in your corner will change your life, the wrong people will drag you down.

* Energy is the foundation of execution.

* Leadership is presence, not position.

* You don’t need permission to lead the room you’re in.

* Elite results come from boring consistency.

* Systems beat motivation.
