Finish 2026 Strong: Your 60-Day Mission

I can’t believe it’s November already. It feels like yesterday we were basking in the summer heatwave, and now the evenings are dark and the year is nearly gone.

In the military, we never skipped the after-action review. We stopped, looked honestly at what happened, and asked: did we hit the objective, exceed it, or fall short? Now is a good time for that. Look back over the last ten months at your strength, fitness, health and, just as importantly, how you’ve led yourself and the people around you at home and at work. Illness and injury can derail any of us, and you can’t control everything. But even allowing for that, where did you land against your goals?

Whatever the result, this isn’t the time to sit back and bask in success, or to wallow in missed targets. You still have two months. Time to take action and finish 2026 strong.

Your 60-day mission

1. Fuel like a leader.
Two months of great, nutritious meals with plenty of veg, fruit and protein. Yes, even Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners can be healthy and delicious. You can’t lead from an empty tank, and the people relying on you need you at your best.

2. Show up consistently.
I’m not asking you to hit every session at 100%. I’m asking you to turn up for yourself, do the work, and be consistent each week. Pick a number of sessions you know you can achieve and stick to it. Then see how far you can get.

3. Do the hard thing.
Two months of discipline in the daily grind. Take the courageous step and finally tackle the uncomfortable jobs you’ve been putting off. Discipline isn’t about motivation. It’s doing what needs doing when you don’t feel like it, and it spreads into everything else you do.

You can do this, and I’m here to help.
