November might feel too early to begin planning for the new year. However, we know successful property investors who plan ahead are winners, and once the silly season gets started, it’s easy to wake up and find you’re already halfway through January! As 2025 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on what was working for you this year, and brainstorm what your big goals are for 2026. Then you can create your ideal New Year’s Resolutions and set yourself up for success.
Let’s make your vision of financial freedom through property investments a reality in 2026 and put a plan in place!
Why should you start planning early?
Now that we are in November, it feels like the year is starting to wind down. If you have already started creating goals, now you can enter January with healthy financial, investment, and general well-being habits already in place.
What does this mean for you?
Your New Year’s Resolutions won’t just be a cute idea that never materialises; they will be powerful commitments that sync with your wealth creation journey and become real plans. Perhaps you are considering growing your property portfolio, paying off outstanding debt or growing your property investment and financial knowledge. By outlining meaningful New Year’s Resolutions now, you will ensure you are prepared to carry out the commitments you set yourself throughout 2026.
If you look at the psychology behind goal-setting:
“New Year’s Resolutions are an excellent opportunity to set goals that align with our aspirations for personal growth and well-being, but goals can be set at any point in the year. With the right mindset and approach, any goal is achievable.” (Source)
New Year’s Resolutions ideas for IGrow investors
When you are brainstorming actionable financial well-being goals, the usual suspects, such as “improve my spending habits” or “make more money”, often fall flat and fail. This is partly because they are too vague to implement. It helps if goals are a bit more specific.
Why not focus specifically on New Year’s Resolution ideas that are in alignment with your property investment path:
- Form healthy money management habits. Start paying off any outstanding debt, and automate regular payments to avoid late payments (to improve your credit score). Automate your savings, and maintain your monthly property investment budget (i.e. paying off your home loan/s).
- Grow your property investment knowledge. Set yourself a measurable goal like spending at least 1 hour a week improving your knowledge of property investment. Then book this into your calendar as a repeat event and set a reminder. Don’t have an hour free at home? Why not put on a podcast or video while you work out or on your drive to work? Check out Jacques Fouché’s free eBook, read our educational IGrow blog, engage with our free weekly webinars, and watch some of IGrow’s YouTube video playlists.
By making goals specific and time-bound, and building in automations to make them easy to remember, these meaningful New Year’s Resolutions will stick with you beyond merely the first month or two of 2026.
Building yourself up to keep up your New Year’s Resolutions in 2026
When casting your thoughts ahead to your New Year’s Resolutions for 2026, property investment should be front and centre of your financial goals. Don’t picture 2026 as just another year, but rather as a roadmap to make positive strides in reaching financial freedom.
A strong New Year’s Resolution might be:
- “Purchase my first investment property in partnership with IGrow by the end of February”
- “Grow my property portfolio by investigating leverage and finding out how many properties I could buy at once”. You may be surprised how easy this can be with the right leveraging strategy! Chat to one of our experts about what the right moves might be for you to take big leaps forward. Or look at our Bulk Deals page for some incredible facts and figures!
- “Build my passive rental income so that my property portfolio covers my bond repayments with ease, leaving a healthy surplus.”
Align these “bigger picture goals” with actionable daily habits, such as reading a property article each morning or checking that you’re following your general financial budget every week. In this way, your long-term vision becomes reality. The results coming from consistent effort are what will transform your 2026 New Year’s Resolutions into winning and achievable goals.
