Only 113 days until 2025...

1.???? This Week's Encouragement:

Last week, we talked about the biggest bully in the room—your own self-talk. Now, let’s extend that conversation to something that hits close to home: how that inner voice shows up during crunch time, like right now in Q4.

It’s that time of year—the end of summer, back-to-school madness, and the realization that we’re only 113 days away from 2025. For many, this is a time of reflection, but for some, it’s a moment of panic. “Have I done enough?” “Did I hit my goals?” “Is there still time to turn things around?”

Guess what? You’ve still got time. And with the right focus, you can make a transformational shift that carries you into 2025 with serious momentum.

Here are three ways to get back in the driver’s seat and make the most of these next 100 plus days:

It’s Not Too Late.

The year may have blown by, but there’s still plenty of time to create real change. A clear plan and some accountability can work wonders. You can still hit those targets and set yourself up for a strong 2025.

Do Less.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the moving parts? The key is to cut through the noise and focus on the needle-moving activities that bring results. That’s what the Q4 Power Play is all about—helping you prioritize and create a laser-focused plan to finish strong.

Give Yourself Permission to Try Something New.

If every attempt has fallen flat, maybe it’s time to try something new. Coaching, mentorship, or even a fresh mindset. We have a new program, The Q4 Power Play (see below) that mixes personalized goal-setting with hypnotherapy to eliminate those mental roadblocks—because let’s face it, sometimes it’s you standing in your own way.

3. Celebrating Big Goals: Congratulations to Tabor 100

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending Tabor 100’s Captains of Industry Gala, celebrating 25 years of championing economic power, educational excellence, and social equity for African Americans and the broader community. The evening was a tribute to individuals who have made outstanding contributions in economic development, government affairs, education, and community service.

Tabor 100 also awarded scholarships, empowering the next generation of leaders to pursue their dreams and create opportunities within the local community. The night was filled with lively music, invaluable networking, and a powerful reminder that we rise by lifting others.

If you couldn’t attend this year’s gala, it’s not too late to support the vital work of Tabor 100!

5. Ask Keita:

Q. Dear Keita, I’m a small business owner, and Q4 always feels like a chaotic race against time. Between juggling client demands, closing out projects, and trying to hit my revenue targets, I feel overwhelmed. I’ve tried different productivity tools and strategies, but nothing seems to stick. It’s like I’m stuck in a loop, always on the edge of burnout. How can I make the most of these last few months without running myself into the ground?

– Frantic & Frazzled

A. Dear Frantic & Frazzled,

I hear you loud and clear! Q4 can feel like a pressure cooker for business owners, especially when it seems like the to-do list is never-ending. But here’s the good news: it’s not too late to shift gears and finish strong.

The secret? Focus, strategy, and support. That’s exactly why I created the Q4 Power Play. This program is designed to cut through the chaos and help you prioritize what truly matters—without the overwhelm. With a mix of personalized business strategy, hypnotherapy to break through mental blocks, and real accountability, you’ll go from scattered to laser-focused in no time.

There are only five spots left, and I’d love to help you secure one. Let’s get you set up to not just survive the rest of the year—but to thrive and head into 2025 with unstoppable momentum.

Book a call today, and let’s get you on the path to clarity and success!
