G’day G’day friends,

Happy New Year!

I celebrated the New Year in Bali.

But the downside of being on a party island is well… the party people.

Around 4:00am in my guest house, some guests decided to bring the party back.

Clubs were closed, but they didn’t want to stop the good vibes.

So they started drinking, playing loud music, and being raucous.

My beautiful New Year’s sleep was rudely interrupted.

I decided to investigate, so I went outside and just stood there to watch.

Another guest came out and asked them to keep it down.

They replied:

“This is New Year’s, we don’t do this everyday. I’ll be good tomorrow.

The guest stormed off angry and tired.

Blame it on sleep deprivation, but this statement stuck with me.

People overvalue the meaning of one day.

New Year’s doesn’t change anything.

Change is long and takes time.

Too many ex-corporate solopreneurs overestimate what they can do in one day.

But severely underestimate what they can do in a year.

I’m not hard working.

But here’s a mantra that’s changed my life:

Those small 1% improvements everyday stack up over 365 days.

Tiny actions aren’t sexy.

And you often don’t even notice them.

People who wait for the perfect moment won’t last.

The ones who win are those who change…slowly and sustainably.

So, what are you looking to change in 2026? I’d love to hear it.

Let’s Launch Together,

Michael ‘nothing changes if nothing changes’ Lim.
