I got a message from one of our colleagues, a gentleman with a complicated combination of names, one of them starting with S. He was messaging me about making money with AI, which of course is a subject of interest. While trying to open the message, with trembling hands, it disappeared. There was only a prompt that the message was deleted?!? If I was the “author”, it wasn’t intentional. I don’t know if we can check messages that were deleted, or how to find that nice person, and ask for a replay. Does anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please? Spoiler alert, I do not have a WhattsApp account.

Most people start to coast this time of year. They tell themselves they’ll get serious again in January, that they’ve earned the break. But the truth is, how you finish this year determines how you start the next. Momentum doesn’t magically appear on January 1st. It’s built right now, in the moments when no one’s watching and everyone else is slowing down. The way you show up in these final weeks says everything about the kind of year you’re creating ahead. Because anyone can start strong, but few have the grit to finish stronger. So while others are taking their foot off the gas, you double down. You sharpen your focus. You look for leverage, the tools, systems, and strategies that multiply your results without multiplying your effort. Because winning isn’t about working harder anymore. It’s about finding your unfair advantage. So let me ask you this: What’s the one thing you can commit to finishing in these final weeks that will set you up for a powerful new year?
