The 2026 Blueprint: Survive the Chaos, Profit From the Future
511: 2026 Execution Guide Part 2
Morning.
The new year is fast approaching.
If you didn’t get a chance to read part I yesterday How To Dominate in 2026 that’s okay, part 2 is more important.
You can always go back to it.
We have a lot of newcomers so by means of introduction:
I’m Arbitrage Andy, I’ve been creating online for 10 years now. I am a former college athlete, who took a role in sales and trading out of school before spending 8 years in fintech and research/data.
In 2024 I left the corporate world to focus on writing and my podcast.
I am now 33 years old, married and a father to two sons.
I launched a meme page focused on finance/markets culture and then launched Arb Letter during the pandemic to give people actionable, true, and raw intel and commentary on everything from crypto, politics, markets, global news, and life.
The newsletter took off quickly becoming a Substack best seller - and we now have a community of 33,000+ strong across 50 states and 175 countries.
Each year I try to lay out my game plan for the new year before the new year arrives. I find that getting your mind squared away, goals set, and ducks in a row ahead of time ensures a productive year.
Yesterday we set the stage with a post covering where the world stands. Today we get into execution. What can we focus on that will:
Make us more money
Grow our businesses, career, and side ventures
Sharpen us mentally and physically
Ensure we have a proper read on politics, global affairs, and society (so that we can guarantee success, safety, and prosperity in the year to come)
When you reflect back on this year what do you see?
Did you accomplish all you set out to do? Are you better or worse off than you were in December of 2024?
If you’re like me it’s a mixed bag of highs and lows, big achievements and those pesky items you perpetually procrastinated on that are lingering as we enter year end.
The big achievements I had this year all stemmed from one underlying driver: action. I didn’t wait until I felt I was fully ready or comfortable. I didn’t wait for “the all clear”. I executed. Sometimes flawlessly and sometimes very poorly, but I acted.
There’s a lot of crazy shit going on in the world right now and because of that I think it’s worth NARROWING your view in 2026.
That doesn’t mean become a normie who has no clue what’s going on around him but remove the noise, remove the distractions, be a bit more selfish, and ruthlessly cross items off of your list. Chances are you KNOW where you’re falling short or slacking (our brains have a nasty habit of reminding us constantly).
- oh man I really need a new job
- I wish I was seeing more success dating
- I really need to square away my finances
- I am stuck doing something I hate
- I’ve been eating like complete shit
- I don’t like the way I handled that interaction
Now is your chance to take stock before the new year and guarantee you hit 2026 in stride and actually address these pain points.
