Are You Ready to Rock Your 4th Quarter?
This year is flying by. It’s officially Fall ya’ll.
Can you believe we're officially in the 4th quarter? 2024 is almost over, but here’s a newsflash:
There’s still time to make big things happen in your business this year!
One thing is for certain, and two things are for sure...it's never too late to finish that to do list of goals you set at the beginning of the year!
Back in January, (I know it feels like just two weeks ago), you said you were going to do something, accomplish a thing, finish whatever it was that is going to help you better serve your customers, raise your visibility, and demonstrate your expertise.
What was it?
Did you get it done? What do you still need to do to get it finished? Do you need to update your website, develop a new product, launch a new offer, write a book….. it doesn’t matter, but the clock is ticking--- you've got 12 weeks left.
If you could dedicate 2-hours a day, or 10 hours a week, to it over the next 12 weeks, that's 120 hours.
What could you make happen?
Here's what I know. There is still time to be great. Stand in your God-given purpose and work it.
If you didn't hit any of your goals...start now!
And if you need help holding yourself accountable! I'd love to be your coach on this journey.
Let's get it DONE, no excuses. Click here to set up a complimentary coaching call with me.
Don’t waste the next 12 weeks. Get. Busy.
