Work towards ending the year with a strong finish

We are at that point in the last quarter of the year when as entrepreneurs we revisit the goals and targets we set for ourselves at the beginning of the year, and evaluate what we need to do to have a strong finish. Motivation is key right now, and keeping focus on the end goal, putting concrete action plans in place for not only ourselves but also our teams to follow, to ensure we get the results we need. It’s worth taking a look at the world of sport and how coaches keep their players motivated at crunch times to get that much needed last minute goal to save the match, or to win that final race that will clinch the series. It’s all about acknowledging and rewarding effort; incentivizing to make that final sales push; celebrating the wins, both big and small, to keep spirits and motivation high. If you need any more encouragement, there is a great quote by Robin Sharma, the author of the bestseller The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, who said: “Starting strong is good, finishing strong is epic.” Something to remember in these last few weeks of the year.
