Four Keys to Extraordinary Results in 2026

golden streams of fireworks against a black sky

Happy New Year!!

In a book I published last year Lessons From Thought Leaders, I shared four insights that can take you from ordinary to extraordinary success.

1. Opportunity Precedes Personal Development

I believe that opportunity often precedes personal development. Sometimes we need to have something that gets us so excited that we decide to do all the things that will change our lives—that gets us up early, keeps us up late, motivates us to read the books, listen to the podcast, attend the seminars, have conversations, set goals, keep a journal, learn the skills and disciplines, etc.

That’s what happened to me when I found the seminar business and first heard Jim Rohn in 1990. I was inspired to not only become better, but to go all in and give 100% in a new direction that forever changed my life.

Do you have something that motivates you to be your best self?

2. Everyone Starts at Zero

When starting anything new, you must remember this! Everyone starts at zero! Whoever your mentors are, realize that at one time, they were beginners. The key is to get started and to not compare. Run your race and you too will arrive one day.

3. Learn by Doing

I’ve always learned by doing. The more we can laser-focus on the exact thing we need to learn and the more we can find the best sources to help us, the quicker we can grow.

You can’t learn it all at once. You learn it one step at a time. I got into the seminar business and I had to learn to cold call, sell, and present. Later I got exclusive rights to book Jim Rohn for speaking and events, so I had to create a way to take him form 20 speaking dates to 100-plus times a year (and triple his fee). I had to then learn to create and market products and to negotiate and write contracts. I had to learn how to hire, train and manage a team. How to publish books, to build an online business, and eventually to sell a business.

You can’t learn it all at once or all in advance, you learn it over time as it unfolds.

4. What Do You Want to Be Known for in 3-5 Years?

A common exercise I often do (and take coaching clients and Inner Circle members through) is a very powerful centering question:

“Who do you want to be in three years and what do you want to be known and/or famous for?”

I truly believe everyone has unique gifts and the potential to be world-class in specific areas of their lives. But it requires clarity, focus, and commitment.

When you are clear on what you should and should not do, it will impact everything, from your daily to-do list to the books and seminars you decide to invest in and the people and mentors you choose to get around.

Here’s to making 2026 your most extraordinary year to date!


3 Ways to Work Directly with Kyle (Book your 1-1 Call, Limited Spots)

I’m frequently asked how people can work directly with me. Below are 3 ways.

The first three weeks of January I’ve opened my calendar up for 1-1 calls with those that want to explore these three options.

1. The Kyle Wilson Inner Circle

We have the best members from all over the country attend our live and virtual events. Plus the most incredible guests show up to share their wisdom and let the group do Q & A. Guests have included Brian Tracy, Denis Waitley, Les Brown, Mark Victor & Crystal Hansen, Phil Collen of Def Leppard, Glenn Morshower (the show 24) Todd Stottlemyre, Ray & Jessica Higdon, Tom Ziglar, Lalah Delia, Kevin Eastman, Chris Gronkowski, and many more. Plus members get access to over 100 hours of training in our members site and to our weekly group calls.

My mentor Jim Rohn said who you spend time with matters. You will have access to 14 live, in-person dates and 24 virtual Masterclass and Marketing calls, all with some amazing entrepreneurs and professionals!

“Since joining Kyle Wilson’s Inner Circle Mastermind, the ideas and creativity have been off the charts. Kyle truly collects the best people and orchestrates an amazing day! I have to tell you, it has so exceeded my expectations, and let me tell you, having known Kyle since 2006 and watching what he did with Jim Rohn and so many others, my expectations were high. I have the dates checked off in my calendar. Missing an Inner Circle is not an option!” – Newy Scruggs, 15x Emmy-Winning Sportscaster, NBC Sports

Fill out the application to set up a call to discuss with Kyle.

2. Join Me in My Next Book!

Whether you’re a professional, entrepreneur, speaker, business owner, or in sales, we will be giving you the training and tools to identify and tell your story in a chapter PLUS how to leverage your story to get speeches, build a list, gain credibility, do book signings, appear in media and interviews, and much MORE.

“When I decided to share my story, it was more about human connection and allowing myself to be vulnerable than it was about strategy. I didn’t expect or even want anything more than that. However, the response has been insane. I could have never anticipated all that I’m experiencing. I just wanted to say… Kyle and Takara, you are AMAZING, and I appreciate you more than you will ever know. Every person I am able to inspire is because you inspired me. THANK YOU!” – Heather Self

If interested, reply back to this email with a little more about yourself and I will then send a link to schedule a call.

3. Coaching and Consulting

In addition to building my own eight-figure business, I’ve coached Darren Hardy, Robin Sharma, and many others helping them build seven- and eight-figure businesses.

As Darren Hardy said, “Every marketing dilemma I have ever had, Kyle has given me the brilliant and elegant solution on the spot. Kyle’s consulting has saved and earned me hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years.”

“Kyle is the best of the best! He has helped my wife Tamiel and me expand our business more than we could have imagined. Kyle’s ability to bring common sense, knowledge, and wisdom to a business situation is unmatched! If you are an entrepreneur and want to exponentially grow your business, Kyle is the guy!” – Mark Kenney, Founder Think MultiFamily

“Kyle Wilson is the man! When I made the decision to transition from my 15-year MLB career to being a speaker, bestselling author, and business consultant, I researched and then sought out the man who has been behind such iconic speakers as Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, and many others. Hiring Kyle as my coach has been one of the smartest decisions I’ve made.“ – Todd Stotttlemyre, 15-Year MLB Player, Entrepreneur, and Speaker

“I have been an entrepreneur for over 20 years, and was not sure if I needed a coach. I engaged Kyle, based on recommendations from people I respected (Ken McElroy), and before our first meeting ended, I wished I had hired him 20 years ago. His experience and his insight are priceless. He could have saved me a lot of heartache! Kyle has an uncanny ability to know exactly what you need for your situation. He is also a first-class connector and strategist. It is easy to see why he was an integral part of the success of such luminaries as Jim Rohn and Brian Tracy.” – Dr. Tom Burns, Author of Why Doctors Don’t Get Rich

I have an amazing track record with some amazing people. Whichever of these three is the best fit for you, it will be my honor to work with you.

Again, limited spots available.

Wishing you all an awesome week ahead!

And you kind of brought me back in touch with how ready I am to get back on stages. I'm ready."

“Kyle Wilson is a masterful marketer and there is a good reason why top investors, entertainers, sports figures, leaders in personal development and entrepreneurs call on him as a coach, mentor, business partner and friend. Kyle knows what works in business and most importantly relationships and always over delivers. As an Inner Circle Mastermind member for over 2 years, it’s been the very best thing I could have done to level up my circle of influence, surround myself with success and have the platform to launch a best-selling book, be invited to speak, partner, invest and take my brand to the next level. I highly recommend you invest whatever is necessary to be a member of the Inner Circle or hire Kyle as your coach.

"When I met Kyle Wilson I had been speaking professionally for 12 years and my biggest ‘achievement’ was $60,000 in debt to the IRS, a truck I prayed every day would start, and a simple 6 CD memory training set. Kyle coached me to market that CD set and in less than 12 months my IRS debt was gone and I was speaking in Australia, Bangkok, Belgium, Singapore, Malaysia and all over the USA with the biggest names in the speaking business. It was almost magical how Kyle took my business from giving speeches in the back room of an IHOP restaurant to audiences as large as 8,000 in what seemed like overnight. I can honestly say that Kyle Wilson was not a major factor in turning my business around. Kyle Wilson was THE factor. I can’t strongly recommend his wisdom, knowledge, business mind or who he is as a person enough."

"Is there anyone in the world who is better at grooming and managing a speaker than Kyle Wilson? Absolutely not! Kyle was the man behind Jim Rohn. Kyle, while managing my speaking career, took me to 60 speaking engagements a year while increasing my fee, and helped me publish numerous books that sold nearly a million copies, produce two best-selling audio programs, taught me how to sell product from the back of a room (with a number of $50,000 days and one $110,000 day) and got me my own television show and a co-host with Zig Ziglar on his television show, True Performance. There is not a single person alive who not only knows but has mastered the speaking business from beginning to end like Kyle Wilson. Take my highest recommendation and multiply it by ten and you have what I think about Kyle. What? You haven’t picked up the phone yet to get on board with him? Get going!!"
