My 2026 Money Goals

I’m a firm believer that money goals should feel motivating, not scary. I’m keeping things honest and practical. Here’s what I’m aiming for in 2026 and how I plan to make progress one month at a time.

I want to bring in $90,000 from my business.
For me, this number represents:

Replacing my full-time income so I can build a career on my terms

Creating more space for my family instead of constantly rearranging life around work

Giving myself the freedom to focus on meaningful, thought-provoking work that energizes me instead of draining me

These numbers feel realistic for my time and energy right now. They also create a pace I can grow into as my systems, outreach, and digital products stabilize.

I’m focusing on three clear paths this year:

Consulting + micro-projects

Quick, high-value support for small teams who need help with communication, documentation, or people systems.

Digital products

Toolkits and guides that support working parents and small business owners.

Recurring or retainer-style work

Light, ongoing support that creates dependable income without stretching my schedule too thin.

Keep expenses tight and intentional

Avoid shiny-object spending

Prioritize recurring income and repeatable systems

I’m going to track everything right here on the blog so it stays visible and real. Each month I’ll share a quick update: what I earned, what I spent, and what I learned. Nothing fancy, just honest snapshots of how things are going.

This helps me stay accountable, and it gives anyone following along a clear view of what it looks like to build a business slowly, consistently, and in the middle of real life.

2026 is the year I build steady momentum, even in the middle of real life. If you’re starting small too, you’re not behind. You’re building a foundation one step at a time.
