Designing a Business That Supports Your Life in 2026

In episode 104, Julianna welcomes listeners to the year 2026 after a hiatus. She discusses the importance of building businesses that enhance life rather than detract from it, based on three personal guiding words: alignment, simplicity and life. Julianna shares her reflections on prioritising mental and physical health, making intentional business decisions and simplifying systems to support living well. She emphasises the significance of understanding business numbers for informed decision-making and encourages listeners to adopt small, consistent changes to align their businesses with their desired lifestyles. Using a personal story about her father's hospitalisation, she underscores the value of being present in life’s important moments and maintaining a business that allows for such flexibility. The episode closes with practical steps for simplifying business processes and improving financial clarity.00:00 Welcome to 2026: Designing a Life-Supporting Business01:06 Personal Intentions for 2026: Alignment, Simplicity and Life03:24 The Challenges of 2025 and the Importance of Business Alignment05:09 A Personal Story: The Importance of Clarity and Numbers09:21 Practical Steps for a Balanced Business and Life13:01 Living Intentionally in 2026 and Beyond15:20 Final Thoughts and EncouragementIf you are listening to this podcast, chances are you are already on your way to exploring your numbers with a desire to understand and master your business finances, realising the transformative power that numbers hold for your business success.Complete our FREE ‘Business Health Check’ form to give you insights into where you’re strong or weak in your business, where there are opportunities to improve, how your business is performing in terms of profitability, cash and time.Where to find us:Available on all major podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and Amazon.Subscribe on your favourite podcast app to stay in the loop with every insightful episode.If you’d like to find out more about Julianna and her business, visit www.horizonaccounts.com.au or follow her on LinkedIn and Instagram @horizonaccounts or book a free 30 minute Business Diagnostic Review Call.Stay tuned for the next episode of Prosperity of the Horizon, the podcast that transforms businesses through the power of numbers and the story behind them.
