Three Things You Need to Leave in 2025 to Skyrocket Your Business in 2026

Laura Sinclair

If 2026 feels like a make-or-break year for your business, this episode is for you. In this solo conversation, Laura Sinclair shares three key behaviours to leave behind in 2025 if you want to build a sustainable, profitable, and visible business in 2026. Drawing from real conversations inside the Inner Circle, Laura breaks down where so many women are leaking energy—by not asking for what they need, mistaking busyness for momentum, and hiding instead of leading. This episode is a powerful reminder that you don’t need to become someone new in 2026—you just need to stop disappearing.


In this episode you will hear:

00:04 – Why 2026 feels like a “do or die” year for so many women

01:05 – Leave this in 2025: not asking for what you need

01:52 – A real example of overwhelm (and the simple solution most people avoid)

03:10 – The hidden cost of not asking: resentment, burnout, under-earning

04:43 – Leave this in 2025: confusing busyness with momentum

05:32 – The illusion of productivity and why “busy” feels safer

06:18 – Your business doesn’t need more hours—it needs fewer priorities

07:06 – Leave this in 2025: hiding instead of being seen

08:10 – The Fyre Festival story (and the audacity lesson for women in business)

09:34 – You cannot build a visible, profitable business while staying small

10:32 – Being seen is a leadership decision, not a mindset issue

11:22 – The three questions to take with you into 2026
