The Year Is Not Over. You Are Not Done.
Regardless of whatever the 4th quarter gremlins are whispering in your ear
I see it happen every year as fourth quarter approaches—
And this year, it’s worse.
Let’s be honest, 2025 has been a bit of a shitshow—
cough Understatement cough.
The economy? Wobbling.
The headlines? Dystopian.
Our creativity and voices? Muted under the weight of fear, fatigue, and the slow ache of disillusionment.
Everywhere I look, brilliant entrepreneurs are stalling—
In their businesses.
In their joy.
In their very sense of direction.
Those gremlins whisper:
“It’s the holidays.”
“Everyone’s distracted.”
“No one’s buying.”
“Let’s just wait until things settle down.”
”It will be better after the mid-terms.”
Wrong.
This idea that we just have to wait it out—that the next version of ourselves, of reality, will magically arrive on January 1st, glowing with clarity and purpose—is a lie.
Your business doesn’t reset at midnight.
Your new reality begins the moment you decide it does.
And that moment?
It could be right now.
Here’s what I’ve learned from experience:
For the past five years, I’ve made more money, served more people, and had a greater impact in Q4 than in the three previous quarters combined.
Not because I hustle harder.
Not because I sacrifice more.
But because I don’t concede the year before the year is done.
I treat every day of the final quarter like sacred ground.
The same way a snowball becomes an avalanche?
Each small, intentional act I take in alignment with my values becomes a momentum-builder.
And when I show up like that?
The results are undeniable:
💥 Client Results:
• One client left his corporate job and started a 6-figure coaching practice in 9 months. Our Q4 goal? Double it.
• Another launched a digital product during peak-COVID and paid off all their high-interest credit card debt.
• One finally infused her voice into every part of her brand—and now podcast hosts pitch her.
• And me?
Q4 2019: Most profitable month in over 20 years.
Q4 2020: Cleared debt, retired my husband, laid the groundwork for big dreams.
Q4 2023: Planted the seeds that let me buy my dream home in Q1 2024.
All because I decided:
This isn’t the end. This is the ignition point.
Let me be crystal clear:
I’m not talking about grinding it out until the bell tolls.
I’m talking about choosing what matters, anchoring into the feeling of your future reality, living “as if”, and taking one clear, aligned action each day.
Not from pressure.
From power.
Not to earn the next chapter—
But to co-create it.
Because here’s the real magic:
Whenever you begin your Q4 recalibration—whether it’s October, November, or the final week of December—it will change the trajectory of 2026.
🌀 Start in October?
You’ll end this year grounded and on fire for what’s next.
🌀 Start in December?
Amazing. You’ll roll into Q1 already in motion.
🌀 Start today?
The momentum becomes exponential.
But don’t wait for clarity to strike you like lightning.
Clarity follows commitment.
Momentum follows the moment you say yes to yourself again.
This is a collaboration.
A co-creation.
Are you willing to commit?
Not to pressure.
But to presence.
To whatever aligned action is yours to take—even if it’s a pause.
Side note: pausing isn’t contrary to everything I’ve said above—if that pause is your protest. Your pleasure. Your power move.
If you’re ready to finish strong and start building the business your future self is already thanking you for—I’d be honored to walk that path with you.
Let’s design your Q4 strategy together.
👉 Reflection Prompts:
What is one aligned action—no matter how small—you can take this week that your January self will thank you for?
How easy are you willing to allow it to be?
🔥 Daily Affirmation:
I honor the intersection where I now stand.
I choose power over pressure, presence over panic.
I take aligned action that builds momentum I can feel in my bones.
The year is not over. And neither am I.
PS: Profit is Protest. So is reclaiming your timeline.
You are not behind. You are right on time to begin again.
