Hi Reader,
We’re stepping into the final quarter of the year. Every quarter is its own sprint, but Q4 carries something extra. It’s symbolic. It’s strategic. And it’s where the foundations for the next year are poured.
Most people wait until January to reset. They buy new planners, set big resolutions, and try to summon momentum from a standing start. But the truth is: January momentum is built in October, November, and December. The energy you carry into the new year isn’t created on January 1st—it’s already in motion long before.
Why Q4 matters
Think about it. The final three months of the year do two jobs at once: they close out what’s unfinished and they plant seeds for what’s ahead. If you use this time well, January becomes a continuation, not a cold reboot.
The temptation, of course, is to overcommit. To stack up every project you didn’t get to earlier in the year and try to cram it all in before December ends. But that only leaves you scattered and burned out.
A better approach? Treat Q4 as the foundation season. That might look like:
- Simplifying one system in your business so it runs smoother next year.
- Locking in a daily practice that keeps you grounded when life gets busy.
- Identifying one priority project for early 2026 so you can hit the ground running.
- Clearing away what no longer serves you, so you don’t drag it into the new year.
These moves don’t look dramatic on the surface. But stacked together, they change the way you enter 2026.
The timing of Freedom Formula
This is exactly why I’ve positioned The Freedom Formula at the very start of Q4. It’s not just another event... it’s a reset. Three live sessions designed to help you clear the noise, focus on what truly matters, and design your next chapter with intention.
And because this quarter is about foundations, I’ll also be introducing Built From the Inside Out. in just a couple of week... It’s a program built around the deeper shifts that make freedom possible, not by accident, but by design.
Looking ahead
Here’s a simple question to carry into Q4:
What foundation could you lay in the next 90 days that would make 2026 easier, freer, and more intentional?
For me, Q4 is never about cramming. It’s about clarity. About putting the right blocks in place so the next chapter doesn’t just happen. It’s built.
Hit reply and tell me what foundation you’re laying this quarter. I’d love to hear it. Talk soon, Alec.
