35 in my 35th Year: 2026 Business Bucket List

Every year, I create a bit of a bucket list for my business and personal life. I dont get mad if I don't meet all of the 'goals', but usually try to achieve a third of the list. My list is a combination of small and stretch goals.

Ideally, I need to bring a lot of money into my business this year for me to survive and potentially go full-time (maybe a bit earlier than I would have wanted).

Why 35 in my 35th Year? I am 35, in less than a month! Honestly, usually my lists are bigger! And I thought the phrase had more of a ring to it.

I would love to be able to explain them all and my reasoning, but I have some other things happening in my life that I cannot control, and are developing over the next couple of weeks. More on this in the future, sometime!
