Did you realize there are less than 80 business days left in the year?
That realization can be a jolt, because while summer feels like the midpoint, the truth is, we’re already in the home stretch.
This is why now is the perfect time to shift gears and refocus on what really matters. For many of our clients, this season marks the beginning of what we call “The Race to the Finish.” It’s a powerful reset that helps teams pick up momentum and drive results right through the end of the year.
Why Now Matters
Think about it: the summer months are often a little slower. Vacations, long weekends, and lighter schedules tend to pull teams off pace. That’s natural. But it also means the fall creates a valuable opportunity to reinvigorate your goals, re-energize your team, and finish the year even stronger than you started.
Bring Your Goals Back Into Focus
Back in January, you likely set ambitious goals for the year. Maybe you hit some, maybe others got lost in the shuffle of day-to-day business. That’s okay. What matters now is how you use these final weeks.
The “Race to the Finish” mindset isn’t about scrambling—it’s about sharpening. It’s about asking:
- What goals remain within reach?
- What strategies can we double down on to build momentum?
- How do we get our people excited to give their best effort to close out the year?
This approach keeps your team focused and motivated, aiming not just to cross the finish line but to run through it.
Why You Should Start Today
If this idea resonates, the time to act is now. Putting a plan in place will take a week or two, which makes today the right moment to kick things off. Waiting until November leaves too little runway to create a meaningful impact.
A Few Questions to Consider
As you think about your own “Race to the Finish,” ask yourself:
- How will I use the remainder of the year most effectively?
- What specific results would make this year a win for my business?
- Who or what resources can help me get there faster?
The clock is ticking, and these last 80 business days could be the most powerful of your entire year if you choose to make them count. If you’d like help designing your own “Race to the Finish” strategy, we’d love to talk. Sometimes, the right plan (and the right push) makes all the difference.
