26 Things Every Florist Should Do Going Into 2026
Episode Description
2026 doesn’t need to be new year, new chaos.
In this episode of The Floral CEO Podcast, I’m walking you through 26 intentional, strategic things every florist should consider before heading into 2026 — from money and marketing to energy, systems, and alignment.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what actually works — with clarity, profitability, and ease.
You don’t need to tackle all 26 at once. But you do need to stop drifting into another year without intention.

  • Where your time and energy are actually going (and if it’s worth it)
  • How to market smarter — not louder
  • Why alignment matters more than hustle heading into 2026
  • How to choose growth that supports your life, not drains it
