Forget the fluff and glitter — this Boxing Day episode is all about turning vision-board fantasies into a plan you can actually stick to. Phil Jackson walks salon owners through his tried-and-true goal-setting process for 2026, showing how to connect your long-term dreams with realistic, value-driven actions.

From five-year mapping to quarterly focus and smarter revenue targets, this episode will help you anchor your goals in what truly matters — your values, your team, and your lifestyle.

Let’s make 2026 the year your salon works for you — not the other way around.

Most business owners jump straight into goal setting in January, only to abandon their plans by February. This episode reveals the crucial, albeit un-glamorous, prep work that will ensure your 2026 salon goals actually stick!

• Reviewing 2025: A cold, hard look at what made you money, brought joy, felt easy, and what simply didn't work.
• Your Magic Number: Pinpointing your desired profit for 2026 to inform your turnover targets and lifestyle goals.
• Feed Your Brain: Stretching your mind with inspiring reads or audiobooks to broaden your perspective and ambition.
• Values Research: Using a value-setting exercise to ensure your goals align with what truly matters to you, creating a filter for success and happiness.

This half-day prep isn't about setting goals yet, but about laying solid foundations so your goals are realistic, ambitious, and aligned with your core values. Block out 2.5-4 hours between Christmas and New Year – your future self will thank you for the clarity!
