Part 2: Looking Ahead to 2026 — From Foundation to Focus

As we move into 2026, our focus shifts from laying the foundation to strengthening what we’ve built.

If 2025 was about proving the concept, 2026 is about refining it — taking what we learned, what worked, and what challenged us, and using that clarity to grow with intention.

One of the biggest lessons from our first year was this: growth doesn’t come from doing more — it comes from doing the right things, consistently, with the right support in place.

What 2026 Represents for AndWhich

In 2026, AndWhich is focused on three core priorities:

1. Deepening Impact, Not Just Expanding Reach. We’re committed to serving small businesses more effectively by meeting them where they actually are — overwhelmed, time-constrained, and often unsure what to delegate first. That means clearer onboarding, smarter task scoping, and ensuring that support truly translates into reclaimed time and momentum.

2. Creating More Opportunities for Women Returning to Work. We will continue to expand flexible, meaningful work opportunities for women who want to re-enter the workforce on their own terms. Not just tasks, but confidence, skills, and sustainable income pathways that fit real life.

3. Building Systems That Last. 2026 is about strengthening our operational backbone — processes, partnerships, and accountability structures that allow us to scale responsibly without losing the human element that makes AndWhich work.

What This Means for You

If you’re a small business owner or founder reading this, 2026 is also an opportunity to reset how you work. Instead of asking:

• How do I get more done?

Try asking:

• What should I stop doing myself?

• Where is my time best spent?

• What support would actually move the needle?

The most successful businesses we’ve worked with didn’t grow by pushing harder — they grew by letting go of tasks that no longer required their direct involvement.

A Shared Goal for the Year Ahead

Our goal for 2026 is simple: To help more people build businesses — and careers — that are sustainable, supported, and aligned with the lives they want to live.

That means fewer late nights spent catching up. Fewer weeks lost to busywork. And more space for strategy, creativity, and growth.

As we step into the new year, we invite you to reflect alongside us — not just on what you want to achieve in 2026, but on how you want to work while achieving it.

Because growth feels different when you don’t have to do it alone.
