The Key Planning Questions Every HealthCourse Creator Must Answer for 2026

As a HealthCourse Creator, stepping into 2026 with clarity, focus and intention is one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself, your practice and the people whose health outcomes you’re trying to improve (@ scale).

Great results don’t come from hustle … they come from thoughtful planning, aligned priorities and consistent implementation.

Use the questions below as your annual planning checklist to set yourself up for a profitable, organised and streamlined 2026.

1. Reflect on 2025: What Worked - and What Didn’t?

Before you decide where to go next, let's look at where you've been.

✔️ What went well this year?
✔️ What didn’t go so well - and what did you learn from it?
✔️ What patterns do you want to break or reinforce?

This reflective pause is your fastest path to elevating your strategy.

2. Set Your Revenue Goals for 2026

HealthCourse Creators need clarity around income streams to make smart decisions.

Ask yourself:

• What is your top-line revenue goal for 2026?

• How much revenue do you want each program to generate?
  (mini course, signature HealthCourse, memberships, workshops, consulting, events etc)

• What do you want more of / less of in your business model?

Revenue clarity = decision-making clarity.

3. Define Your Interpersonal and Professional Growth Goals

To scale your practice and your courses, you must grow too.

Consider:

• What do you want more of in 2026?

• What do you want less of?

• Which programs, books, training or mentors will you learn from?

• What are the top three skills you want to develop next year?

• What would make 2026 a “great year” on a personal level?

Often the biggest breakthroughs happen in your mindset, not your marketing.

4. Identify Your Profit-Generating Activities

Your income is directly tied to your implementation.

Use these prompts:

• What launches, webinars, funnels or sales mechanisms will you run in 2026?

• What events, collaborations or media opportunities will generate visibility?

• What projects will directly drive revenue?

• How will you map these across the year?

This is where you decide what you’ll actually focus on - not what you'll “think about doing.”

5. Choose Your SMART Goal for February 2026

Pick one goal.

Make it:

• Specific

• Measurable

• Actionable

• Realistic

• Time-based

Example:
"I will generate $20,000 in revenue by 28 February by launching my mini HealthCourse to my email list and running three webinars."

A concentrated 60-day goal builds momentum for the entire year.

6. Build Your 2026 Structure Using “Big Rocks → Gravel → Sand”

To avoid overwhelm, plan in layers:

Big Rocks (non-negotiables)

• Holidays

• School breaks

• Public holidays

• Work commitments

Put these in your calendar first - they protect your wellbeing which is the most important asset in your expert business.

Medium Rocks

• Launch dates

• Events

• Lead magnets

• Ad campaigns

• Website updates

• Photo shoots

These create visibility and sales momentum.

Small Rocks

• Monthly content themes

• Hero content (blog/podcast/video)

• Monthly newsletters

• Social media posts

These sustain your audience between launches.

Gravel and Sand

• Admin tasks

• Delegation decisions

• Anything that doesn’t drive revenue but still needs handling

This is where outsourcing becomes your best friend.

---

7. Create Your 90-Day “Action Sprints”

Every quarter, ask:

• What are my goals for the next 90 days?

• What personal or professional growth am I working on?

• What three projects am I committed to delivering?

• What does success look like for each?

• What are the steps?

• How will I reward myself?

Short cycles create big momentum.

---

8. Commit to Your Implementation System

Choose your tools and stick to them:

• A3 paper planner

• All dates centralised into one calendar

• Monday.com / Asana / Trello for tasks

• Quarterly planning check-ins

Disorganisation is expensive.
Structure is liberating.

---

Final Reminder

2026 is the year to implement - not just plan.

You’ll get good at:

• Testing ideas

• Creating your HealthCourse assets

• Building your learning management system

• Posting content

• Running ads

• Nurturing your email list

• Launching

• Onboarding

• Gathering feedback

Start where you are. Stay focused. Avoid comparison.
Give yourself time and compassion.

Your HealthCourse has the power to change lives - including yours.
