6 Must Haves In Your Business For 2026


It's hard to believe 2026 is less than two months away. Someone has sped up time... there's no other explanation for this. 😂

But onto today's topic: What should I focus on to make 2026 my best year yet?

If we could close our eyes, make a wish, and gift every one of our customers with these six items, 2026 would be an epic year.

  1. One high quality free offer
  2. One strong sales presentation
  3. One dialed in search channel
  4. One dialed in social channel
  5. One solid daily sales activity
  6. One irresistible introductory offer

Let's dive into each one of these!

#1 One High Quality Free Offer

Gone are the days of simple checklists & PDF's. Optin rates are down across the board. You need your free offer to be HIGH QUALITY. Here's what we mean:

  • Free book
  • Free email/audio course
  • Free micro-saas or GPT
  • Free newsletter
  • Free assessment

Don't sleep on the free Audience Builder Challenge if you're an FG Funnels customer!

#2 One Strong Sales Presentation

These are the three types working (in order of easiest to hardest):

  • Live Weekly Webinar To Buy Now Or Application
  • On Demand Webinar To Buy Now Or Application
  • Monthly Paid Workshop To Buy Now Or Application

By the way, all of our products are going on sale for Black Friday (30% off) so if you are interested in one of these, we HIGHLY suggest Launch Gorgeous Live Webinar. It's one of our newest and most profitable types of funnels that we think nearly EVERYONE should do.

We also have Launch Gorgeous On Demand Webinar (harder than weekly live but still doable) or you can snag Easy Launch It and do a paid workshop!

#3 & #4 Dialed In Search & Social Channels

We are definitely not the queens of social media. If you have interest in a particular platform, we recommend you hire for that platform specifically. However, if you're struggling with figuring out your brand or social in general, you can pick up the True North Bundle this BFCM.

Here's what we mean when we say dialed in search and social:

  • SEARCH: YouTube, Blogging, Podcasting, Pinterest
  • SOCIAL: LinkedIn, TikTok, IG, X, or Facebook

#5 One Solid Daily Sales Activity

This is the one people sleep on, and they shouldn't. Especially if you don't have an audience or are trying to get momentum, the daily sales conversations make all the difference in revenue.

There are four types of daily sales activities to choose from:

  1. DM Convos
  2. Email Marketing to Your List
  3. FB Group Commenting
  4. In Person or Online Networking

A few things to note about our upcoming sale. The Million Dollar Grit book, GPT, and Audio will help you with #3 as you hear how Julie did this back in her early days.

If you have FG Society, there are lots of helpful resources in some of the older OG products that come with FG. Specifically the Influence Masterclass (oldie but still goodie).

We do recommend the book Rich Relationships as well!

Most importantly, we're pre-selling our brand new course called Easiest Yes! It's going to focus specifically on sales conversations in the DMs, on webinars, and on sales calls. Check out the catalog for more information!

#6 One Irresistible Introductory Offer

Whether you want to sell a power hour, VIP session, or a low ticket product, an intro offer helps bridge the gap for cold traffic that is struggling to trust you. Here are some common intro offers:

  1. PLM Funnel (low ticket offer)
  2. VIP Session
  3. Power Hour
  4. Low Ticket Subscription

A few things in the catalog that can help with this... Launch Gorgeous PLM Edition or Launch Gorgeous Subscription Edition.

Also Booking Blueprint is great for service providers, as well as a HUGE amount of resources in FG Society.

If you missed our announcement about our upcoming Black Friday sale, here's the catalog we rolled out. You can view everything on sale here!

Sale begins Monday November 24th and runs through the following Cyber Monday.

If you missed yesterday's email, here it is. Now onto a few questions that made it to my desk! From Carla... How Long Would It Take?"Ok but, I'm seriously considering going straight down this list as I begin planning to launch a totally new business with my husband. Assuming he and I (and maybe some help from a VA) can build and create most of these things with about 70% ease that you probably can…what kind of timeline would you put on working through each of these steps? (I realize this...

Here's exactly what I would do... (and yes, I am going to feature all the tools, courses, and resources that I would use from our upcoming Black Friday / Cyber Monday catalog!) Purchase FG Funnels.
