INTRODUCTION: BUILDING MOMENTUM TO FINISH STRONG AND START STRONGER
You don’t need a full quarter to change your life. You only need one weekend where you draw a line in the sand and prioritize a plan.
That is the theme of my article Quick Tips to Finish 2025 Strong… and this workshop is the tool that will help you live it out.
The Power of Momentum, or “PoMo,” is your structured path to create unstoppable progress. It is not about setting hollow resolutions. It is about aligning your life with clear purpose, consistent action, and measurable results.
When you use this workbook alongside the article, you will have both the spark and the system. The article wakes your spirit up. This process gives you a map to move forward.
Most people drift into a new year without clarity or conviction. You will not. You will walk into 2026 focused, grateful, and ready to create a year of strength, meaning, and leadership.
The steps that follow are proven. I have used them for decades with high performers, business leaders, couples, and warriors who want more than motivation. They want mastery.
Set aside time. Get quiet. Be honest. Answer every question.
When you finish, you will not only have goals. You will have momentum.
STEP 1: GET CLEAR
See Where You Stand
Before you can lead forward, you must look backward with gratitude and truth.
Clarity begins with awareness.
Reflect:
-
What did you love in the last twelve months?
-
What were your magic moments?
-
What filled your heart with gratitude or light?
-
What do you want to repeat or multiply in 2026?
-
-
What did you hate or wish had not happened?
-
What challenged you most deeply?
-
What do you never want to repeat?
-
What did those experiences teach you?
-
Why were they valuable to your growth?
-
-
What decisions shaped your life this year?
-
Which ones strengthened you?
-
Which ones weakened you?
-
What new decisions must you now make for 2026 and beyond?
-
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Write one truth about your current reality that you have been avoiding—but need to face.
STEP 2: GET CERTAIN
Remember Your Power
Certainty comes from remembering your victories.
Look back at what was once only a dream but is now your reality.
Reflect:
-
List everything in your life that was once a dream or desire.
-
Circle the two or three that seemed the hardest to achieve.
-
Recall the process. How did you make it real?
-
Did you focus daily?
-
Did you put emotion behind it?
-
Did you plan and act consistently?
-
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Write one proof from your past that shows you can handle whatever comes next.
STEP 3: GET EXCITED
Dream Again
Excitement reawakens your creative mind. This is the time to expand your vision.
Reflect:
-
In a peak emotional state, list everything you want to be, do, have, create, or give.
-
Include every area of life: health, relationships, career, finances, faith, and contribution.
-
Do not censor or filter. Keep your pen moving.
-
When you finish, mark each item with how long you believe it will take:
-
1 year
-
3 years
-
10 years
-
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Circle three dreams that make your heart beat faster. These will form the focus for your year ahead.
STEP 4: GET FOCUSED
Choose Your Targets
You can do anything, but you cannot do everything. Focus turns possibility into power.
Reflect:
-
From your list, circle your one-year goals.
-
Out of everything, what matters most?
-
Which goals would make you proud, fulfilled, and alive if you achieved them this year?
-
Which goals would make the biggest impact on your mission or family?
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Write your top three one-year goals for 2026:
STEP 5: GET COMMITTED
Make It a Must
Commitment is the bridge between interest and achievement.
When you decide that something is a must, the universe rearranges itself to meet you there.
Reflect:
For each of your one-year goals, write a short paragraph answering:
-
Why must I achieve this?
-
Who will it bless or impact?
-
What will it cost me if I do not follow through?
-
What obstacles will I face and conquer?
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Write your “must” statement:
“I will achieve this because…”
STEP 6: GET MOMENTUM
Move Now
Never leave the site of a decision without action.
Momentum begins the moment you move.
Reflect:
-
What is one small action you can take immediately toward your goal?
Examples: make a phone call, send an email, book a meeting, research an opportunity, or sign up for a course. -
What is one bold move you can take that signals true commitment?
Examples: invest in coaching, join the program, clear out distractions, announce your goal publicly.
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Write both your small and bold actions. Then take one today.
STEP 7: GET SMART
Design Your System
Dreams die without structure. Systems create freedom.
Use both logic and passion to make your plan solid.
S.M.A.R.T. Goals:
-
Specific
-
Measurable
-
Achievable
-
Relevant
-
Time-bound
O.M.A. Framework:
-
Outcome: What exactly do you want?
-
Mission: Why does it matter to you? Who will you become through it?
-
Actions: What steps will you take weekly and daily to make it real?
Reflect:
-
What does progress look like?
-
How will you measure and celebrate it?
-
What system will keep you accountable?
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Write one S.M.A.R.T. goal completely here:
Measurement magnifies mastery. What you track, you transform.
STEP 8: GET HEART
Reflect, Integrate, and Align
Movement without meaning burns out. Reflection keeps you centered.
Take time to anchor your lessons before you begin again.
Reflect:
-
Describe 2025 in one word or phrase.
-
Who or what shaped your year the most?
-
What were your highlights and low points?
-
What are you proud of?
-
What are you ready to release or forgive?
-
What truth will guide you into 2026?
-
Where do you sense God or purpose calling you higher?
-
Who will you become as you live this next season with conviction?
Journal Space:
Activate Now:
Write your 2026 declaration:
“This is who I choose to be…”
ADVANCED MOMENTUM MAPPING
The Master Plan for 2026
Now that you have clarity, certainty, and goals, you must schedule your growth.
Use this chart to map your top three goals into quarterly milestones.
| Quarter | Key Focus | Actions / Milestones | Measurable Outcomes | Celebration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | ||||
| Q2 | ||||
| Q3 | ||||
| Q4 |
Instructions:
-
Chunk your one-year goals into 3, 6, 9, and 12-month milestones.
-
Prioritize what must happen first.
-
Schedule these milestones into your calendar.
-
Create systems of accountability and progress tracking.
-
Celebrate every win and course-correct when needed.
The more you measure, the faster you grow. Momentum is multiplied by consistency.
THE O.M.A. MASTER PLAN
Use the O.M.A. framework to create a visual plan you can hang on your wall or keep in your workspace.
| Element | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Outcome | The target. The bull’s-eye. What exactly do you want to achieve? | “Increase revenue by 25% by September.” |
| Mission | The reason. Why this matters and who it serves. | “To create freedom for my family and fund new opportunities.” |
| Actions | The movement. The practical steps that make it real. | “Make five new sales calls weekly. Launch one new offer.” |
Tip:
Circle your Outcome in a bright color. Read your Mission aloud daily. Track your Actions weekly.
Keep your plan visible until it becomes your reality.
THE MASTER MOMENTUM REVIEW
At the end of each month, ask:
-
What progress did I make?
-
What slowed me down?
-
What habits helped me the most?
-
What one thing must I change to move faster?
-
How can I celebrate what is working?
Progress builds passion. Passion builds perseverance.
Perseverance builds the man you are becoming.
