There’s a saying: It doesn’t matter how you start; it matters how you finish.
If 2024 hasn’t gone as planned, don’t give up. The last weeks of the year hold massive opportunities to close strong.
With the right moves, you can still make this your most profitable year yet—and set yourself up for an explosive 2025.
Have You Been Spinning Your Wheels?
You started 2024 with big dreams.
Maybe you launched new products, ran ads, or tested strategies, only to see mediocre results.
The goals you set in January now seem far out of reach.
And as the holidays approach, it’s tempting to believe that you’re out of time.
You may think that winding down is your only option.
But that belief is the real problem.
Don’t Let the End of the Year Slip Through Your Fingers
Many entrepreneurs give up too early.
They assume the final weeks of the year are only good for leftovers.
So they slow down—missing out on golden opportunities.
This mistake creates a vicious cycle:
They miss out on year-end sales momentum.
They waste December scrambling to plan for January.
And they start the new year with the same sluggish results.
Meanwhile, smart entrepreneurs use this time to accelerate. They know that what you do in December can drive exponential profits and set the tone for the next year.

The Game-Changing Formula for a Strong Finish
You don’t need a perfect year to finish strong.
You just need a clear strategy. Here are four proven tactics to make these last weeks of 2024 your most profitable yet:
1. Keep More Money with Smart Tax Strategies
The government offers ways to reduce your tax burden—if you know how to take advantage of them.
Invest in business assets to benefit from Section 179 deductions.
Contribute to retirement accounts to lower taxable income.
Write off expenses like software, equipment, or training for next year.
Defer Income: Delay invoicing or accepting payments until January if you’re on a cash-based accounting system.
Accelerate Expenses: Pay vendors or settle bills early to claim deductions this year.
Talk to your CPA or financial advisor now to make the smartest moves before December 31.
2. Presell for the New Year
Don’t wait for January to start generating revenue for 2025. Start now by:
Offering discounts or bonuses for customers who prepay for next year’s services.
Selling annual packages that create upfront cash flow.
Building anticipation with a “New Year, New Offer” campaign.
Preselling gives you cash in hand and a head start on your competitors.
3. Set the Stage for a Powerful Q1
Most entrepreneurs waste January “figuring things out.” Don’t let that be you.
Schedule Q1 sales calls, meetings, and campaigns now.
Prep your marketing materials and automate your outreach.
Create a 90-day plan that outlines your top priorities.
When the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, you’ll already be in motion.
4. Tap Into Your Warmest Leads
Your best opportunities for revenue are already in your network. Don’t let them go cold:
Offer year-end upsells to existing customers.
Request testimonials and referrals to attract new business and set appointments for the new year.
Re-engage lost customers with a special incentive to return.
People are in a buying mindset during the holidays. Use this energy to your advantage.
Your December Action Plan
Here’s how to make the most of these strategies:
Book a meeting with your CPA this week. Write down every possible deduction.
Plan your presell campaign. Create an irresistible offer for 2025 services or products.
Set up Q1 meetings and outreach. Start sending emails, scheduling calls, and preparing content.
Contact current and past customers. Craft a compelling upsell and offer incentives for referrals.
Take action today, and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish in just a few weeks.
End Strong, Start Stronger
Finishing strong isn’t just about hitting a year-end revenue goal.
It’s about building momentum that carries into the new year.
Entrepreneurs who close December with focus and energy see exponential results in January—and beyond.
The best part? You don’t need to hustle harder. With smart, leveraged strategies, you can achieve massive results while staying ahead of the curve.
