I’ve been thinking a lot about what actually holds people back in business as we head into 2026.

It’s usually not effort.

It’s usually not ambition.

It’s how the work is designed.

So today I published a long-form video breaking down 20 hard truths about business and growth going into 2026 — things I’ve learned from actually building systems, fixing broken follow-up, and watching where momentum quietly dies.

This isn’t motivation.

It’s not hustle advice.

It’s about structure, clarity, and building things that don’t fall apart when you step away.

If you want to watch it, here’s the full video:

Everything I’m sharing is meant to be useful first.

Curious which of the 20 hits you the hardest going into 2026?

Most real estate investors don’t fail because they’re lazy or unskilled. They fail because their systems don’t protect them from bad leads, slow responses, and broken follow-up.

Build it yourself or get it installed. Either way, the system works.

Templates are a starting point. Real results come from custom systems built for YOUR business.

AI helps — but it still needs a human brain behind it.

Every builder knows this moment 😅 Systems test your patience before they save you time.

Automation should feel human — not spammy. Customize your follow-up or lose trust fast.

If you miss the call and don’t respond fast, sellers move on. This fixes that.

If your system keeps texting after an appointment is booked, you’re doing it wrong. Automation should cleanly move deals forward.

This one trick saves HOURS when building automations in GoHighLevel. Prompt → paste → customize.

Your mindset determines your income.

Ever notice how successful people don’t ‘hope’ things work? They expect it—and then take the action to make it happen.

If you’re waiting for a ‘perfect time’ to go all in on your business, you’ll be waiting forever.

The world doesn’t pay you for effort. It pays you for results.

If you feel like you’re working too hard and not making enough, the problem isn’t the work—it’s what you’re working on.

Focus on **the 20% of actions that bring 80% of the results**. That’s how you scale.
