September is a Gear-Up Month

September is plastered everywhere as “GEAR UP for fall.”
But here’s the problem: most business owners gear up the wrong way.

They sprint to catch up—tying up loose ends, filling their calendars, and saying yes to anything that looks like momentum. The smarter move? Use September to set up.

Now is the time to ask yourself:

➡️ Pricing — does it truly support your profit goals?
➡️ Capacity — are you working at full capacity, or just full exhaustion?
➡️ Strategy — is your decision-making energy going to the right priorities?

Because the truth is this: your December client workload and deliverables planning can’t wait until November—it’s already being shaped by the pricing and capacity decisions you lock in right now. That includes mapping out office hours, team schedules, and time-off requests—so you stay in control of your calendar instead of scrambling at the last minute.

“December is out of control.” I hear it all the time. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The truth is, overwhelm is rarely about time management—it’s almost always about pricing, capacity, or strategy. One client thought better time management was the answer. The real problem? Pricing and client mix. Together, we reset her structure and raised key prices. By December, she had shaved 10 hours off her week and enjoyed her first guilt-free holiday break—profit intact.

That’s why my clients use September to:
✅ Re-evaluate pricing against profit targets
✅ Re-align workload with true capacity
✅ Reset leadership rhythms that simplify daily decisions and eliminate the indecision freeze-up

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing the right things first—so the rest of the year delivers what you actually want: clarity, cash flow, and confidence.
