What Can You Do Between Now & 12/31/25?


Reading Time: Postcard (15 seconds)

How is it Monday already? As my mom used to say, "Time flies when you're having fun." 🤭

There are two things you can do between now and 12/31:

  1. You can decide you're going to see how much juice you can get out of your 2025 lemon. Or,
  2. You can take your foot off the gas, coast through New Year's, and then ramp up your momentum again after the 1st.

There's no right or wrong answer--only you can decide if you've done all you can or want to do this year.*

I'm going to do both--keep cruisin' in 5th gear, with the windows down, the sunroof open, and the music on full blast. It ain't over 'til it's over!

What's your plan?

*The only thing I can think to add is that there are plenty of transactions that will happen between now and the end of the year. If you're open to it, some of them might be yours.

Reading Time: Holiday Missive (59.82 seconds) You’re closer than you think to holding your book in your hands -- and you don’t have to take my word for it. Let me tell you about one of my authors. For about 15 years, Joe wanted to write a book. He thought about it. Talked about it (a lot). But he didn’t take action — until he picked up a copy of You Must Write a Book and realized it was finally time. He followed my process step-by-step, and within 11 months, he held his first proof in his...

Reading Time: Postcard (25 seconds) Happy Saturday! Since it's the weekend before Thanksgiving, I thought I'd share something I'm grateful for: the power of intentional rest. I mentioned taking my foot off the gas on Day 101--and I'm definitely looking forward to that. But don't get this part wrong about intentional rest--it doesn't mean doing nothing. Strategic rest is actually part of your work. When I rest after completing my 100-days, I'm not just lying around, counting my chickens. I'm...

Reading Time: Postcard (40 seconds)ICYMI: If 2026 is the year you'll finally write your book… make sure you’re on the Priority List by midnight. Yesterday I promised to share how I am thinking about next year, even as I make the most of the current year. I'm 83 days into my third and final 100-day sprint this year, which means I've got 17 days before this 100-day cycle is done. Each day equals 1% and should get me at least 1% closer to each of my goals. I'm a big believe in sprinting through...
