Aims for 2026

A new year comes with a set of goals.

The current set up

Currently, if i look across my business and ask where are the revenue streams coming from then the answer is:

Regional Trading: This is 88% of my assets and 88% of my revenues.  This is the core part of my business but it is under pressure and threats from new entrans.

Market Seeding: this is now 12% of my assets though for now a very small part of my revenues (2%) given i started in the second half of 2025.

Manufacturing: this has been opportunistic and effectively is 0% of assets and 1% of revenues.

Station Trading: this was 9% of my revenues but i ended this during 2025 given it became too competitive.  Not necessarily loss making but i could make more profit elsewhere.

Giving away ISK: in 2025 i gave away 215 billion isk to various content generators.  Bringing the total isk given away to 538 billion.

The 2026 aims - isk making

Regional Trading: this will remain the core part of by business but i am thinking will become a lower proportion as other revenue streams expand.

Manufacturing: i want to expand this into something more systematic rather than opportunistic.

Seeding markets: This is all about creating new trade hubs.  i want to expand this.  When i get it right it works well.  When i get it wrong nothing happens.  It folds into Regional Trading quite well and so is an easy expansion to make.  I just need to find the markets to seed.

Low Sec / Null sec: i want to do more here and i suspect market seeding and manufacturing will take me there

The 2026 aims - non-isk making

Alliance: operating on my own is fine but dull.  I may see if i can join an Alliance or some other social venture.  The huge advantage of operating on my own is that i don't need to make commitments to anyone other than myself.

Giving away ISK: this will continue, targeting content generators.  The aim is to give away all monthly profits (which are under pressure right now!).

The 2026 aims - Eve related

Fanfest: i am going to Fanfest for the first time to see what this is all about!

London meetups: i will aim to attend these (i would have got to the last one but real life got in the way).
