As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your career and goals. Did you achieve what you set out to accomplish in 2025? If you’re ready to aim higher in 2026, consider a career as a financial representative! This role offers incredible opportunities to learn, grow, and make a real impact – all while building a future you’re proud of.

Finally my end of the year weekly email to my team! If you like this, join my team. Dear Team, As we come to the end of this year, I want you to hear this clearly: you are not here by accident, and you are not here because you had nothing else to do. Each one of you is on this Regional Team because you made a choice to be here—and I’ve made a choice to stand for you, advocate for you, and do everything within my responsibility to help you succeed. I pray for each of you fervently, asking God for His blessing, wisdom, protection, and mercy over your lives and your work. As we move into 2026, I’m raising the bar. Not because you’re lacking—but because you deserve to be better, to grow stronger, and to create an even greater impact. The work we do matters. The connections we make change lives. “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.” — Aristotle Next year is about intentional growth, meaningful connections, and showing up at a higher level—for ourselves and for the people who count on us. “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mahatma Gandhi This business, at its core, is about service. The more people we connect with, the more lives we impact. “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change.” — Jim Rohn Call to Action for 2026: As we step into the new year, commit now to operating with intention and discipline. Fill out your Market Analysis consistently, and use it as a living plan—not a form. Schedule and complete weekly PEP sessions with your Managing Partner to review progress, sharpen focus, and hold yourself accountable. Protect your calendar, increase meaningful connections, and take small disciplined actions every day—those actions will create extraordinary results. Thank you for choosing this path. Let’s make 2026 our most impactful year yet. Positively yours, Andrew Sotheby PNW Regional Director Modern Woodmen of America .
