For those unaware, it's a way of describing the final 2 weeks of the year, or "the holidays" as 99% of people refer to them as
The idea of calling it a new quarter is to emphasize that it is a new opportunity. Just like how when Q2 ends and Q3 begins, new goals, priorities, KPIs, or whatever else, are put into focus.
Q5 can bring new opportunities for those that are ready to strike during a typical "down time." On the other side of the coin though, some people look forward to the holidays so they can rest and recover.
At Bullish Events, we worked on important systems for the new year and audited our business processes. Of course, we also took time last week to connect with family, rest, and enjoy some peace and white space.
We're back on desk this week though... and gearing up for exciting things in 2026!
How'd you spend your Q5?
