We keep saying there are “30 days left in the year,” but let’s get real.
Christmas Eve. New Year’s Eve. Travel. Kids. Family. Office parties. Now subtract the rain, the snow, and all the excuses that come with them…
You don’t have 30 days.
You have maybe 26 working days left. And if we’re being honest, probably less.
This year is essentially done. Whatever was going to happen in 2025 has already happened.
If you’re not already in momentum, you’re not getting it this month.
The scoreboard is set.
So the real question isn’t:
“How do I finish the year strong?”
It’s: “How do I start Q1 like a weapon?”
Because Q1 results don’t start in January. Q1 results start today.
Here’s the move:
- Pick One Target: One thing you will hit by March 31st. A number. A deal count. A revenue goal. Something measurable.
- Reverse Engineer It: How many conversations, offers, appointments, or pieces of content does that require weekly?
- Start This Week: Don’t wait for Jan 1. Pretend today IS the first business day of 2025. Your competition is already asleep. Good.
- Audit Your Circle and Calendar: If someone isn’t helping your 2025 goals, they are a distraction. If an activity doesn’t create opportunity, it’s noise.
- Be Impossible to Ignore: Deals go to the loudest, the most consistent, and the most visible.
Your 2024 identity expires in 26 days. Whatever version of you shows up in January is being built right now.
Don’t coast into the new year hoping it magically changes.
Build the version of yourself who deserves Q1 wins.
