If 2025 broke you—professionally, personally, or both—you're not alone. And here's what I want you to know right now:it's not too late to make 2026 your breakthrough year.

I'm Beverly Simpson, and I'm about to share something vulnerable with you. 2025 was the hardest year of my life. My husband cut his fingers and was out of work. I ended up in the ER three times with excruciating back pain. My team fell apart. And my 10-year-old daughter experienced a mental health crisis that pushed our family to the edge.

But here's what I learned while bending—not breaking—under that pressure:The way you end one year determines how you start the next.

And I'm not talking about New Year's resolutions or motivational fluff. I'm talking about a proven, three-step framework that I've used for over 10 years as a former district fitness manager and seven-figure online entrepreneur. This is the same process I teach my clients. And it works.

In this post, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly what happened in 2025, why it matters, and the strategic shifts every online coach, fitness professional, and entrepreneur needs to make in 2026 to get everything they want.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Success (And Why It Keeps You Broke)

Before we talk about what's ahead, we need to talk about what's behind.

In 2023, I sold over $500,000 in contracts. By every metric, I was crushing it. But here's the part nobody talks about:I had $250,000 in defaults.

That's marketer math. That's the gap between what looks good on Instagram and what's actually happening in your bank account.

I spent 2024 trying to recover from that. I had evidence of success—a working funnel, a solid team, real progress—but I couldn't see it. I was still carrying the pain of 2023 like a backpack I couldn't put down.

Then 2025 hit, and because I didn't clear that emotional charge, I repeated the pattern. Not in the same way, but in a way that was just as costly.

Here's the truth:Your feelings and thoughts fuel your frequency. If you're perpetually focused on what's broken, what's not working, and what you're afraid of, you're throwing a 30 mph fastball at your goals instead of a 97 mph one.

And that's why the first step is so critical.

Step 1: Clear the Past (Or It Will Clear You)

This is the step most people skip. And it's the step that determines everything that comes next.

You have to clear 2025. You have to clear 2024. You have to clear anything that's carrying an emotional charge—whether it's a success you're attached to or a failure you're ashamed of.

Here's how:

Write it all down.Everything that happened. The wins. The losses. The moments that made you feel alive. The moments that made you feel broken.

Extract the lessons.Don't just list what happened. Ask yourself: Why did this happen? What did I learn? What will I do differently?

Neutralize the emotional charge.This is where most people get stuck. They think they can just "think positive" their way through it. But that's like trying to get out of a moving car. It doesn't work.

You need to actually regulate your nervous system. That might look like:

• Somatic practices(I used RRP—Rest Restore Protocol—and SSP—Safe and Sound Protocol, which involve listening to specific music while processing emotions)

• Breathwork and shakingto discharge stored tension

• Working with a therapist or nervous system specialistwho understands trauma and regulation

For me, the difference was profound. When I'd talk about my daughter's mental health crisis, I used to feel this overwhelming urge to cry—but I couldn't access the tears. After nervous system work, I could talk about it calmly, clearly, and with peace. The charge was neutralized.

Then, and only then, can you rewire.

Once the emotional charge is gone, you can extract the real lessons. You can see what actually worked. You can identify the patterns you want to keep and the ones you want to break.

Why You're Probably Not Behind (Even If You Feel Like It)

Here's something the fitness industry taught me:January is a slow burn.

People set intentions. They say they're going to change. But they don't actually start until February or March. That's when the gyms get packed. That's when people are ready.

So if you're reading this in mid-January and thinking, "Oh my gosh, I'm behind," I want to offer you this:You're not behind. The timing is what it's going to be.

You're still in a winter season. You're still in the phase where most people are just setting their intentions. The real action phase is coming.

And if you're starting now? Congratulations. You're ahead of the curve.

Step 2: Set Your Intention (Not Your Resolution)

Once you've cleared the past, you can set a real goal.

But here's the difference between a resolution and an intention:A resolution is something you hope happens. An intention is something you're committed to.

When I work with my clients, I have them define three levels:

1. Nice to have— This is the outcome you'd like, but you're not willing to sacrifice for it.

2. Playing for— This is what you're actively working toward.

3. Committed to— This is what you'll do no matter what. This is where the energy shifts.

Most people confuse these. They say they're "committed" to something, but they're really just hoping for it. And when obstacles show up—and they always do—they quit.

Real commitment is different. It's a different energy. It changes how you show up.

For me in 2026, I'm committed to three things:

1. Managing my mental health(non-negotiable)

2. Being ruthlessly honest about what I'm actually committed to(and doing what I said I'd do)

3. Releasing responsibility for my clients' success(while still holding them accountable to their own dreams)

That third one is big. For years, I was trying to expedite my clients' success by doing the work for them. But that's not building an eight-figure brand. That's building burnout.

Step 3: Strategy and Execution (The Goal Determines the Play)

Now that you know what you're committed to, you need a strategy.

And here's the framework:The goal determines the play.

Let's say your goal is to sign 5 new clients in the next 30 days. That's your goal. But what's your target?

Well, if you close 50% of your sales calls, then you need 10 calls. That's your target.

But how do you get 10 calls? You need presentations of your offer. You need leads. You need to be visible.

So the target becomes: "I need to generate 10 qualified calls in 30 days."

And then the performance metric is: "Did I book the call or not?" (Binary action) vs. "Did they show up?" (Result)

This is where data becomes your best friend. Because once you know your performance metrics, you can improve them. You can either run the play or change the play. But you can't do either if you don't know what the data is.

Here's what I see happen:People say, "Courses are dead," or "Podcasts are dead," or "AI is going to replace everything." But they're not measuring their own data. They're just listening to noise.

The truth is:Courses aren't dead. Podcasts aren't dead. But the way we communicate our offers is changing.

And if you're not measuring, you won't know what's working for you specifically. You'll just follow the crowd.

The Strategic Shifts Every Coach Needs to Make in 2026

Beyond the three-step framework, here are the concrete changes I'm implementing—and what I'm asking my clients to implement:

1. Every Client Needs a Customer Journey with Both Low-Ticket and Premium Offers

Freebies are no longer working the way they used to. The old model—"Download my free guide, book a call, become a client"—is broken.

Instead, you need:

• A low-ticket offer($27-$97) that builds trust and gets people into your ecosystem

• A premium offer($297-$5K+) that's where you actually make money and build your brand

This creates a natural progression. People can experience your value at a lower commitment level before investing in your premium program.

2. Prioritize One Social Channel for Lead Generation

You don't need to be everywhere. Pick one platform where you can speed the lead-to-connection process. For some, it's Instagram. For others, it's LinkedIn or TikTok.

Master one. Then expand.

3. Build One SEO-Driven Content Hub

This is where people go deep. It could be a podcast, a YouTube channel, or a blog. The goal is to own a piece of real estate where people can consume your content without relying on an algorithm.

This is why I'm prioritizing YouTube and my podcast in 2026. These are channels I own.

4. Understand (and Use) AI and GLP-1 Tools

I know this sounds random, but stay with me. AI isn't going away. GLP-1 drugs (like Ozempic) are changing the fitness industry. The coaches who understand these tools—and either adapt to them or use them strategically—will thrive in 2026.

The ones who ignore them will become Blockbuster to Netflix.

The One Thing That Changes Everything: Mental Health

I want to be really clear about this because it's the foundation of everything else.

Managing your mental health is not optional. It's not a nice-to-have. It's number one.

For me, 2025 was brutal partly because I was running on an activated nervous system. I was in chronic stress—physically, mentally, emotionally. My nervous system never came down. And when your nervous system never comes down, you perpetuate the things you don't want.

You fuel self-fulfilling prophecies.

My daughter taught me this. She was afraid of being alone in the pool, so she'd scream and cry about it. And guess what? Everyone left the pool. Her fear created the exact outcome she was afraid of.

I was doing the same thing in my business. Gripping. Holding on too tight. Living into fear. And then being shocked when the thing I was afraid of happened.

The work I did on my nervous system changed everything.Not because it made me feel better (though it did). But because it changed my frequency. It changed the energy I was putting out. And that changed what I attracted and created.

The Hard Truth About Success

Here's something I realized while going through this process:Success can be your biggest achilles heel.

When I first started coaching, I had a client who crushed her first three launches. Then her fourth launch was good, but not as good. And she spiraled. She didn't understand all the moving parts that made the first launches work. She just thought she'd lost her magic.

The same thing happens to people who have incredible years. They get afraid. "What if I can't do it again? What if it all goes away?" And they start to panic. They get into fear and noise. And then they don't do it again.

This is why clearing the past is so important. Success and failure both need to be neutralized. You need to extract the lessons without being attached to the outcome.

What I'm Doing Differently in 2026

I'm being ruthlessly honest about what I'm committed to.

In 2025, I said I was going to:

• Prioritize YouTube

• Commit to one podcast episode per week

• Post three times a day for 30 days

I kind of did some of these. But I didn't really commit. And that's partly why I didn't get the results I wanted.

In 2026, I'm being present to what I'm actually committing to. And I'm doing it. No excuses. No "I'm too busy" or "I don't have capacity." Those are just my ego trying to protect me.

I'm also celebrating my wins. For years, I focused only on areas of opportunity. I thought that was humility. But it was actually keeping me broke. Because your predominant thought fuels your frequency. And if your predominant thought is "What's wrong?" instead of "What's working?" you're throwing a slow pitch at your goals.

Now, every week, I have my clients submit wins. I don't let them check in without identifying something that went well. Because that matters. That's the frequency that attracts more wins.

The Bottom Line

You don't have to throw everything out and start over. You don't need a new course or a new strategy or a new platform.

You need to:

1. Clear the pastwith honesty and nervous system work

2. Set a real intention(not a resolution) that you're actually committed to

3. Execute a data-driven strategythat you measure and adjust

And underneath all of it, you need toprioritize your mental healthandbe ruthlessly honest about what you're committed to.

If you do those things, I promise you, 2026 will be different.
