It’s New Years Eve and by now you probably have a couple resolutions set for 2026. Maybe you haven’t penciled them in, but there’s a good chance you’ve thought about them at least once during this wondrous week where time blends and vacation seems like a daily occurrence.

After all meaningful me moments matter as much as the build!

Truth is you have until midnight to iron them out, but remember momentum is contagious and so is waiting! One pushes you forward, while the other quietly teaches you to stay where you are.

One minute you’re reflecting on the year like a wise philosopher, and the next you’re eating something festive while promising yourself you’ll “start fresh” soon. Meanwhile your inbox is still emailing you like it didn’t get the holiday memo, and yet there’s a special kind of energy in the air that yields excitement for 2026!

First: I’m genuinely grateful you’re here.

For reading, whether your building a company, leading a team, pivoting your career, or just trying to become the kind of person who follows through. Your curiosity, ambition, willingness to grow and thrive in the adventures of the daily is what sets you apart. Tech Trend Forward is a community of founders, leaders, builders, and tech enthusiasts who want more than ideas, we want outcomes.

So here’s the message that matters most heading into the new year:

Your vision becomes real the moment you act on it.

• Not when you perfect it.

• Not when you’re fully ready.

• Not when you have more time, but when you move forward and bring that vision to life.

 Wishing you a Happy New Year filled with momentum.

 And here’s the fun part: Tech Trend Forward is just getting started. In 2026 we’ve got a lineup of exciting events, fresh tools, workflows, leadership plays, trend breakdowns, and real-world strategies designed to help you turn vision into reality.

 Stay tuned. 2026 is almost here!

3 Tricks Billionaires Use to Help Protect Wealth Through Shaky Markets

“If I hear bad news about the stock market one more time, I’m gonna be sick.”

We get it. Investors are rattled, costs keep rising, and the world keeps getting weirder.

So, who’s better at handling their money than the uber-rich?

Have 3 long-term investing tips UBS (Swiss bank) shared for shaky times:

1. Hold extra cash for expenses and buying cheap if markets fall.

2. Diversify outside stocks (Gold, real estate, etc.).

3. Hold a slice of wealth in alternatives that tend not to move with equities.

The catch? Most alternatives aren’t open to everyday investors

That’s why Masterworks exists: 70,000+ members invest in shares of something that’s appreciated more overall than the S&P 500 over 30 years without moving in lockstep with it.*

Contemporary and post war art by legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and more.

Sounds crazy, but it’s real. One way to help reclaim control this week:
