Change is in the air.
September is here and we're at the beginning of the Labor Day weekend.
Three Choices. Embrace Failure, Coast, or Accelerate.
At this point in our calendar year, some look at their lackluster results and acquiesce to certain failure, ceding wins to hopeful returns in the next year.
Some have had a fantastic run since the beginning of the year and begin to ease off, celebrating assumed continued success with far too much yardage left on the field.
Others look at September for what it is: Fully One Third of the Entire Year! 120+ Days to Make A Difference.
Foster Strategies Pro Tips for Your Best Year
⭐ 4 months to adjust and make fresh, strategic plans.
⭐ 4 months to use your current momentum as jet fuel to set and break new record highs.
⭐ 4 full months to collaborate, plan, execute, track and adapt for a brilliant finish.
🏆 Pro-Pro Tip:
Use these 4 Months to design a plan where instead of stopping at the end of the year only to have a slow start of the new year, you power straight through this imaginary 'finish line' and start the year stronger than ever. Who said you have to wind down and wind up?
Determine and agree to stop losing those 30-45 days of productivity and performance.
September has always been one of my favorite months of the year as I feel not panic, but renewed energy to power through and past the threshold of our new year.
I've found my strength and focus on this vital stretch an incredible competitive advantage. While a disproportionately large group choses to dial it in, I'm ramping up.
The gap only widens as we move towards November, and by Thanksgiving, they're MIA, on a milk carton somewhere. (Apologies to Gen Z- it was gripping reading material before cable and the internet!)
🎯 Find your strength to power in these final 120+ days
🎯 Take a close look at your metrics prior to the close of Q3 and make fresh plans and necessary adjustments
🎯 Renew your purpose
🎯 Set new goals
🎯 COMMIT
Whatever you do, don't start quitting while the race is still on.
