Hello, how are you all?

I’m back again with the second personal edition.

Did you guys took a long holiday and spend it on some hill or a beach? I stayed home with chilly winter. I did took complete off from work for 3 days. Read some book and learnt that I wanna spend 2026 more intentionally. More switching off my phone and reading a book and many off-the-scene activities, please!

Now for today’s edition we are reflecting on 2025 and making plans for the next year. Looking forward to hearing about your plans. 

My 2025 was a mixed ball

This is the hardest part tbh, I’ve been avoiding looking back but here we are.

Last year around June, I ran after only one thing that is consistency. I left all my goals and made consistency my single goal. I fell and I picked myself up and ran for the same thing again only to reach a point by the end of October where I knew I had it now.

Since then I’m better at being consistent and I started making different goals. Life has been good since then.

What didn’t go well? I didn’t meet my income goals. 

Here I come 2026…

When I first thought about this, I thought, what I’m seeking is money in 2026 but then I looked closer and realized that it is clarity. 

I want to walk away from 2026 with better clarity of my services. By clarity, I mean, I want to move in 2027 with my core service. I don’t have it yet and I know, I’m already moving towards it but yeah! That is what I want.

Also, clarity in the direction of this newsletter. What we are doing right now is mostly experimental and that is okay but would want to end 2026 with a better direction.

Another goal for 2026 is to add Twitter as a distribution channel. Currently, LinkedIn is the primary distribution channel and it is over burdened right now. So, my plan is to expand and add twitter as well.

Rest, I’ll keep making monthly goals. Keep adding and removing blocks from it until I have a fuller picture.

2026 goals:

1/ Sponsor post for LinkedIn
2/ Growing LinkedIn to 10k
3/ Growing newsletter to 500 subs
4/ Selling digital products
5/ Adding twitter as distribution channel

This is it for today’s newsletter. I would love to hear what goals you have made for 2026? Share them by replying to this email.

Have a wonderful new year guys! I hope to revisit this edition at the end of 2026 with growth, happiness and money for me and for you. Keep moving forward with –– Charaiveti.

P.S. If you want to read more detailed version of what is happening in the background then you can read my other newsletter, Paryogshala, which I’ve made especially for sharing my journey. I talk about the behind the scenes of building there. I talk about raw thought, crazy ideas and execution of them.

Until the next time,
Diksha
