While most people took January 1st off, our Revenue Ronin community showed up at 6:45 AM Pacific for a 2-hour mastermind.

Why?

Because discipline doesn't respect holidays.

And execution beats motivation every single time.

I want to share 3 frameworks from this morning's session that will define your 2026: But first, a word from today’s newsletter sponsor.

AI has changed how consumers shop by speeding up research. But one thing hasn’t changed: shoppers still trust people more than AI.

Levanta’s new Affiliate 3.0 Consumer Report reveals a major shift in how shoppers blend AI tools with human influence. Consumers use AI to explore options, but when it comes time to buy, they still turn to creators, communities, and real experiences to validate their decisions.

The data shows:

The most effective brands are combining AI discovery with authentic human influence to drive measurable conversions.

Affiliate marketing isn’t being replaced by AI, it’s being amplified by it.

Ok, now back to the Framework:

FRAMEWORK #1: The 90-Day Execution Protocol

Brian Tracy said: "Companies don't plan to fail—they fail to plan."

But here's what most people miss: Planning is only 10% of success. Execution is 90%.

Your 90-day plan needs:

Then you execute relentlessly. No excuses. No exceptions.

Action Step: Block 30 minutes TODAY to map your Q1 2026 plan. What are your 3 big outcomes for the next 90 days?

FRAMEWORK #2: Leadership Through Empowerment

I used to think great leadership meant solving every problem.

I was wrong.

Old way: "Tell me what's wrong, I'll fix it." (You just took their power and ownership)

New way: "Explain what's happening. What do you think we should do?" (You just empowered them to grow)

The best leaders don't take problems from their team—they reflect questions back.

This keeps the power (and the growth) with THEM.

Action Step: Next time someone brings you a problem, ask: "What do you think we should do?" Watch what happens.

FRAMEWORK #3: The Post-Call Mastery Review

This is the framework that changed my career.

After EVERY prospect or customer call, I ask myself:

"How could I have improved that call?"

Then I ask my team:

"On a scale of 0-10, how was that call? What would make it a 10?"

This feedback loop is EVERYTHING.

This is how you level up. This is how you achieve mastery.

Action Step: Implement this TODAY. After your next call, ask for feedback. Write down what you'd improve.

At the end of our lives, we ask ourselves 4 simple questions:

Don't wait until the end to answer them.
