What's Inside...

1. Change is Hard...Even Good Change

The end of summer and the transition to September is a new beginning.

Days grow shorter. Kids are back in school.

Gone are the days of endless summer and ever-changing camp schedules.

As our family's schedule begins to solidify for the fall - soccer Saturdays, Scouts, and dreaming of long weekends - it's helpful to get back to basics.

  • What meal can I make in less than 30 minutes after practice?
  • What can I do on the weekend to prep for the week ahead?
  • What rhythms can I re-establish so they become second nature?

In life, I go to my trusted tools and templates.

It's the same for business.

2. Back to Basics

Fall is the final push to meet your company's year end goals.

It's as easy as 1 - 2 - 3.

First, get back to basics.

Second, identify.

  • Has something changed throughout the year that shifts your strategy?
  • What are your top 3 priorities for Q4?
  • What do you need to do to meet year-end goals?

Third, act.

  • Start today.
  • Send the follow-up email. Make the call.
  • Do one thing today to move your strategy forward.

​Schedule a call today for help with your company's growth.

3. Ways to Work Together

Here are some ways we can partner.

  • Leadership Offsite: One or two-day offsite to define your growth strategy & priorities, clarify roles & responsibilities, and improve your team's communication. (Learn More)
  • ​Strategy Power Hour: 60-min virtual session to tackle a specific challenge your business is facing. (Schedule)
  • 1:1 Private Strategic Advisor: Develop long-term vision & near-term priorities and goals. Meet 2x/month during virtual sessions. (Learn More)
  • VIP Strategy Session for Growth: Virtual half-day session to leverage your expertise for growth. Develop your North Star & go-to market plan. (Learn More)

I hope you are enjoying the final days of summer.

As always, thanks for reading.

To your strategic success,

Susan
