Is The Home Stretch of Your Year Bringing the Finish Line Closer?

Every year about Labor Day weekend, I am reminded how the business world
operates a lot like a horse race.  If you have ever been to the race track,
you'll know that the horses jet out of the gate with incredible speed.  They
run — fueled by drive, passion and the jockey's urging. At the first turn,
the jockeys evaluate the competition and prepare to use all of the tools at
their disposal to outwit and out-maneuver the others. The pack continues to
push hard as they take the next length, darting into the last turn ready to
make the last ampicillin acne corner. Finally, it's the home stretch where the jockeys push
the horses to give it "all they've got" to the finish line.

Similarly, our business year works the same way.  I always think about
January 1st as the day that we leave the gate.  Our teams race until we get
to June. We might take a breather during the summer, and then comes the day
after Labor Day. That is "magical" Tuesday. It is the day that we enter the
home stretch of the business year and all of us kick butt until it's over.

Today is that magical Tuesday.

As we enter the home stretch and run at top speed until about Thanksgiving,
we expend all of the energy that we have, we invest all of the resources
that we have, and we flex all of the muscle that we have, so that we can
accomplish our goals for the year.

So, if you're running the race, make sure that starting today, you push as
hard as you can and that you acquire whatever resources are necessary to
accomplish your goals because the end of the track is in sight.  It's time
now to run hard and run fast.
