The new year is the perfect time to reflect on what's working in your business and what needs to change if you want to see better results.

In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger shares her approach to planning for 2026, focusing on personal growth and implementing strategic changes that lead to real business transformation. Drawing from her experience with Alger Coaching and running her own wood business, Jennifer reveals six key strategies that have helped her business thrive and can do the same for yours.

You'll hear practical advice on leveraging social media for visibility and relationship building, the essential role of networking in creating business opportunities, and why telling the backstory of your products adds value and creates deeper connections with customers. Jennifer discusses the importance of establishing a chain of custody to build trust and differentiate your business, effective inventory management techniques that can significantly improve profitability, and how coaching and mentorship can accelerate your growth by helping you avoid common pitfalls.

This conversation emphasizes the power of setting measurable goals for the first quarter to create momentum and the importance of small, consistent actions that lead to significant changes over time. Jennifer encourages listeners to focus on building systems that support sustainable business growth rather than chasing quick fixes or overnight success.

Whether you're looking to grow your wood business, improve your operations, or finally implement the changes you've been putting off, this episode offers a practical roadmap for starting the year with clarity and purpose. Jennifer's straightforward approach and real-world experience make these strategies accessible and actionable for woodworkers, sawmill operators, and lumber dealers at any stage of business.
