Six Months Left and What To Do With Them | Ep 168

Six Months Left. Here's What To Do With Them.

We're halfway through the year. You've got two choices: throw in the towel and start planning 2027, or actually use the six months you've got left. Glenda's picking door number two, and she's dragging you through it with her.

What's in this episode

July and January are the two biggest months of Glenda's year, and not because there's anything magic about them. They're the months she stops and takes stock: what did the last six months actually produce, and what needs to happen in the next six to hit the goals she set 12 to 18 months out. Throwing in the towel now and starting to plan for 2027 might feel tempting, but there's still six months of money-making time left on the table.

That starts with the expense audit nobody wants to do. Glenda walks through her own process for looking at every subscription, membership, and "I'll get to it eventually" payment, and asking whether it's still earning its keep. She just cut a piece of software from her own suite, not because it's bad, but because she isn't using it right now, so it isn't doing its job.

One of her favourite tools for staying on top of this is embarrassingly simple: a recurring calendar reminder on the 28th of every month that lists every payment about to come out of her account. It's not there to force her to cancel things. It's there so nothing sneaks past her, and so she can make an intentional choice about what stays and what goes.

That leads into one of the bigger points of the episode: more money coming in does not automatically mean more profit. If your expenses are climbing right along with your revenue, you'll never actually feel the growth. Profit comes from knowing where the money goes, not just how much of it shows up.

Glenda also talks about setting a real vision for where you want your business (and yourself) to go, and using that vision as a filter before you buy another course or sign up for another training. If it doesn't serve where you're actually headed, skip it, no matter how good the dopamine hit feels in the moment. Which brings her to a quick, honest plug for her Idea to Sold Out Groups workshop: if groups have zero place in your next 12 to 24 months, don't buy it. If they do, this is the roadmap she wishes had existed when she was building that side of her business by trial and error. Tickets are available through July 14th, and replays are included for anyone who can't attend live.

The bottom line... you've got six months of opportunity left. Spend July getting clear: what's working, what's not, what's draining your account for no reason, and where you're actually headed. No vision means you're just running in circles.
