Happy New Year! It’s the 21st of January and already the fourth week of the year. And yes—we’re still allowed to wish one another a Happy New Year. It’s not too late.

I was in prayer the other day, and while praying for my husband’s and my businesses, the Lord gave me a powerful word.

He said to me, “In this season of business, what is going to work is a combination of the old and the new.”

I believe this is a timely revelation—not just for me, but for every entrepreneur reading this. Especially in this age of AI and rapid technological innovation, we’re all trying to keep up with the latest tools to improve our processes and serve our clients better. And that’s not a bad thing at all.

However, we must be careful not to spend so much time chasing what is new that we forget the old techniques and practices that worked—and still work. Keep this in mind as you plan your year.

The Bible says, “Have you seen a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mere men.” — Proverbs 22:29 (NKJV)

Scripture wasn’t speaking of “men” as a gender here, but of mankind as a whole—humanity.

So to the woman reading this, I’m wishing you much success this year.

2026 is our year. Amen.
