Welcome to 2026: Velocity through Momentum

Welcome to the January 2026 Newsletter.

2024 & 2025 were years of building new teams and moving past the challenges of the last few years.

2026 is set to be a year of elevation. 
We aren't just looking back at a good year—we are standing on a foundation of real momentum. Momentum is the key to our future. My priority this year is to maintain that speed and channel it into meaningful breakthroughs.

The Power of Connection.
 I used to say we valued great relationships. Today, I realize that’s an understatement. After traveling the country and meeting so many of you face-to-face, I’ve seen firsthand that our connections are the lifeblood of this organization.

Witnessing your growth is my greatest sense of accomplishment.
 
We are building a dynamic, thriving business together. This is a collective effort. Real impact requires teamwork, and I am honored to be on this journey with you.

Empowered Leadership I’ve learned a few vital truths: knowing when to push for results, and knowing when to clear the path and let you work.

As this new year unfolds, I want you to know one thing: You have a home here. BF is a platform where you can hang your hat, where your individuality is celebrated, and where we work hard to support your unique talents.
 
We respect and reward the entrepreneurial spirit in all of you. Our teams are here to ensure you can focus on what matters most: building relationships and winning.

What’s Next: This newsletter is packed with insights, agendas, and recaps from our staff. Consider this your briefing for the year ahead.

Stay Tuned: Next week, we will release the January Newsletter Part 2, featuring our Partner Rankings and Partner Awards. It’s time to celebrate our champions.

Thank you for your trust, your time, and your Partnership. 
 
Let's all rise together.

To a prosperous 2026, spirit
 
Regards, Joe
