INSIGHT

Finish As A Strategic Reset

Jenna Kutcher rejects the sprint-to-finish narrative and reframes year-end as a strategic reset.
She urges choosing alignment over piling on more goals to avoid hollow wins and burnout.

ADVICE

Filter Goals With Peace, Profit, Purpose

Use a three-part life-giving filter: peace, profit, and purpose to vet goals.
Let goals that fail the filter go so you focus on what truly aligns with your life.

ADVICE

Audit Revenue By Energy Impact

Audit your last three months of income into energy-giving, neutral, and draining buckets.
Prioritize growing energy-giving revenue and restructure or eliminate draining sources.

If you're feeling the pressure to squeeze every last drop out of the year even though you're already running on fumes, this episode is for you. I'm going to show you how to finish the year aligned, not burned out, and why your best move right now might be to slow down on purpose!

This episode is not about making you do more. It's about guiding you to choose better and to start thinking of this season as a bridge, not a cliff.

Together, we’ll identify what's actually working in your business right now, the quiet wins you're probably overlooking, and we'll release the stuff that's stealing your energy without giving much back. Then, I'll show you exactly how I shift my routines and habits now, before January, so I'm not showing up to the new year with a blank page and burnout baggage. Finally, we'll talk about why saying no to 10 good ideas in favor of one bold aligned move might be the most strategic thing you do all year.

This is about getting realigned with what you actually want from your life and your work. It's about redefining what "finishing strong" means, and it might not look anything like what Instagram is telling you it should.

So if you're ready to finish the year on purpose with clarity, with boundaries, and with momentum that actually lasts, click play!
