There’s nothing like the pressure of a deadline to get people moving.

Last week, the countdown began into the final 100 days of 2023. And that means your days are numbered, too – at least for the calendar year.

This week let’s emphasize the importance of making the most of these remaining days. And with good reason: The pursuit of goals – and stretching toward new ones – is not just about accumulating wealth; it’s also about feeling a sense of fulfillment, purpose, and happiness. By setting clear objectives and holding fast to your ultimate long-term strategy – especially amid uncertain times like we’re facing now with a looming government shutdown, striking workers, and a high interest rate environment – it’s still possible to not only survive these ups and downs but thrive despite them. Ask me how.

We can review how you’re positioned this fall and decide where to make progress before the holidays hit. The articles below include additional news that could affect your planning as well. Let’s make these last 100 days count!
