Hey there! I'm Kate from Hello Funnels, and welcome to Part 2 of our End of Year Planning Series.

If you've ever been told to "just focus on one thing until you hit a million dollars," you've probably also realized that advice doesn't quite work in today's market.

Because the truth is, modern businesses need more than one thing working. But not 100 things. Just six.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the 6-Step Scaling System—what you actually need to build in 2026 to scale profitably without spreading yourself too thin or burning out.

I'll walk you through how to choose your six based on your Traffic Light Audit from Part 1, whether you should start with your front-end or back-end (it depends on if you have an audience), and the realistic timeline for building this out.

Bottom line: The businesses that thrive in 2026 will have both a front-end system that covers ad costs and a back-end system that delivers profit. You can't build them at once—but you can build them both.
