Episode 154: The Biggest Opportunity for 2027 Is Hiding in 2026

Most business owners wait until December to start thinking about the year ahead. Michael believes that's already too late. In this episode of The Dream 100 Show, Michael shares the simple framework he uses to evaluate the year so far, identify what is actually holding the business back, and create the focus needed to finish the year with momentum. Rather than relying on gut feelings or vague goals, he walks through a practical process built around fact-based decision-making, SWOT analysis, identifying five-alarm fires, prioritising what matters most, and establishing clear Q1 priorities. The goal isn't to create another giant list of things to accomplish. It's to identify the one thing that matters most, attack it relentlessly through the remainder of the year, and use that momentum to enter 2027 with greater clarity and confidence. For entrepreneurs and business owners focused on business growth, strategic planning, marketing strategy, Dream 100 relationships, leadership, and building a stronger business, this episode provides a framework worth putting into practice immediately. Because you don't need to wait for January to start building a better year. You can start now.
