Forget Q1, what about Qs 2 and 3?
Skill

Time is the ultimate resource, and enemy

Fret not…the Huge Holiday Hiatus is coming soon and you'll soon be shopping online, bingeing Netflix, and popping Hershey's Kisses! (Who isn't ready for a break?)

Beyond HHH, Q1 is faintly knocking inside your head. Answer the door!

The effort you put in before next Friday to plan for Q1 will also provide momentum for Qs 2 and 3!

You'll feel so much better if you wake up on January 5th to a packed January calendar and a long, organized To Do list.

Do

Any work you do today for Q1 is good work

Today, focus on these Q1 prep tasks:

1. Get some January meetings.

2. Plan your calendar with backwards engineering against your quota: e.g. what does your pipeline have to be at milestone dates?

3. Edit your strategic account plans.

4. Revise your Q1 account and skill goals.

It sounds like a lot, but remember, these tasks are ongoing.

Start by analyzing your revenue for Q1 – where were you this time last year in terms of bookings/quota achievement?
