Summer may feel relaxed, but your strategy shouldn’t be.
August and September aren’t just calendar months.
They’re the final clear runway before the year 2025 ends.
These next 60 days is your last big window to water your network, refine your BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal), and plan your next moves ready for 2026...because before you realise, it’ll be here.
Summer isn't an invitation to pause. It’s the perfect time to accelerate while others relax and do nothing. Mastery doesn’t come from luck, it’s forged through focused and disciplined momentum.
Ask yourself:
Your network is an ecosystem. It thrives on energy, intention, and regular investment. If you neglect it, it doesn’t just “pause” it dries up.
Engage now. Share value. Provide updates. Check in without agenda. Ask better questions. Be top-of-mind.
You can’t expect progress in winter if you didn’t plan your moves carefully in late summer.
Thinking of relocating? Pivoting industries? Elevating into leadership? Your next opportunity already knows someone you know. But you have to show up and start the groundwork, now.

You either own the narrative, or you get written into someone else’s.
