7 Simple Shifts to Set Your Business Up for a Strong Year-End
We’re halfway through the year, and if you’ve been feeling a little behind or like you haven’t hit your stride yet—breathe. You’re not alone. The good news? Big change doesn’t always require a total overhaul. Sometimes, it just takes a few intentional shifts.
Here are 7 small-but-mighty moves you can start this month that could seriously change the game by December:
1. Start Monthly CEO Days
Block out one day a month on your calendar—yes, like an appointment with yourself. Use it to check in on your goals, review your finances, and get clear on what’s working and what needs tweaking.
Being proactive instead of reactive? That’s how confident CEOs lead.
2. Get Your Books in Order
Clean books = clear decisions. Whether you’re planning to grow, apply for funding, or just want to stop cringing at tax time, this one shift can ripple out into every area of your business.
(P.S. This is one of my favorite things to help with—just sayin’!)
3. Automate One Admin Task
Pick one repetitive task that eats up your time—sending invoices, following up with leads, scheduling content—and automate it.
Even saving yourself 20 minutes a week adds up fast.
4. Revamp Your Offers
Tweak a package. Test out a mini offer. Prep for a fall launch. August is a great time to play and see what sticks.
You don’t have to start from scratch—just refine what’s already working.
5. Audit Your Expenses
Go through your subscriptions, tools, and recurring charges. Cut the stuff you’re not using and reallocate those dollars toward something that actually moves the needle—or just gives you more breathing room.
Your Q4 self will thank you.
6. Build a ‘Slow Season’ Savings Plan
If you have months that tend to dip in revenue, plan for it now. Setting aside a small percentage from higher-income months can bring so much peace of mind later.
Financial strategy isn’t just about growth—it’s about stability too.
7. Nurture Your Community
More engagement doesn’t have to mean more effort. Post a behind-the-scenes story. Respond to DMs. Share a free tip in your content.
The relationships you build now are what carry your business forward long term.
These shifts aren’t hard—they’re intentional.
Pick one to start with this week and see how it changes things. You’ve got time to make big moves before the year’s over.
