  • Your Ownership Plan: A Blueprint for the Year Ahead
    Jan 1 2026

    Welcome to Day 7 of Franklin Week — the final day of our seven‑day journey of reflection, clarity, and ownership as we prepare for a new year. Over the past week, you’ve done deep, meaningful work:

    1. Day 1: You stepped into the ownership mindset
    2. Day 2: You identified your values — your compass
    3. Day 3: You created a long‑term vision — your horizon
    4. Day 4: You set your annual goals — your direction
    5. Day 5: You built systems and habits — your engine
    6. Day 6: You identified and began removing barriers — your clearing of the path

    Today, we bring it all together.

    This is the day you create your Ownership Plan — a simple, powerful blueprint that will guide your year.

  • Removing Barriers: What’s Really Standing Between You and Your Future
    Dec 31 2025

    You can have the best goals, the clearest vision, and the strongest habits — but if you don’t address the barriers in your way, you’ll stay stuck.

    Barriers are the often invisible forces that:

    1. drain your energy
    2. steal your time
    3. undermine your confidence
    4. distract your focus
    5. keep you repeating old patterns

    Most people try to push harder. They try to “be more disciplined.” They try to “want it more.” But the truth is simple:

    You don’t need more willpower.

    You need fewer barriers.
