Kickstart 2026: Strategy & Goal Setting for Success
Host: Mark Viccars – Win-Win Partnering
28 January 2026
Online
12:00pm – 13:30pm
Join us for an energising, practical session designed to help you build a clear, confident, and achievable business plan for 2026. This workshop goes beyond traditional planning and focuses on how to set goals that genuinely stick, both in business and in life.
Led by Mark Viccars, who has built and sold multiple businesses, this session will guide you through proven goal-setting principles that help you identify what really matters, set realistic and motivating targets, and turn ambition into action. You’ll explore concepts such as 2×1 goal setting, practical tools and techniques, and how to create goals that stretch you without setting you up to fail.
Importantly, the session looks at why you want to achieve certain outcomes; uncovering the motivations behind your ambitions and how to align them with the way the brain actually works. By understanding the neuroscience behind focus, habits, and motivation, you’ll learn how to work with your brain rather than against it.
You’ll leave with:
- A clear, personalised set of goals
- A practical action plan you can implement immediately

There will also be time to connect with other BBX traders and brokers from across the country, exchange ideas, and build valuable relationships.
