As I write to you, we are officially ending the third quarter and stepping into the fourth quarter of 2022. Can you believe it? We are three months away from ending 2022. As an entrepreneur, this is a busy time for me as I close out the quarter and review the goals that I have set for the last quarter of 2022. My third quarter was nothing short of amazing. I have surpassed goals and made progress in so many areas of my life. However, this is not the time to slow down or hit cruise control. The fourth quarter is very important and focus is key. Now more than ever, you must focus on advancing and not allowing anything to interfere with your progress. I hope these insights will empower you to guard your focus and manifest your goals for the final months of 2022!

  1. You must embrace the new season. Unless you are under a rock, here in the United States we have entered autumn. It is one of my favorite times of the year. It is awesome to see the season change; however, it also serves as a reminder to me that the year is coming to a close. If you are not careful, you can easily become distracted by the changing of the season. I have made a very conscious effort to not allow the change of the season to make me change my posture. In other words, I can embrace the new season without letting go of my vision and my goals. One thing I know for sure is that life has many seasons. Your ability to embrace and master the seasons of your life will determine your success or failure. In order to embrace a season, it requires perception, posture, and pursuit. While I do not have time to delve into all of these factors, I want you to understand that you cannot afford to allow changing times or seasons to become a barrier to your progress and growth. Learn to appreciate the various seasons of your life but refuse to allow what is happening around you to interfere with the growth and development that is taking place within you. Growth is allowing each season to serve your expansion and evolution.
  2. You must eliminate distractions. As we go into the final three months of 2022, I want you to enter this quarter with laser focus. As a high achiever that has trained and developed leaders around the world, I know for sure that concentration is the catalyst to breakthroughs and advancement. Distractions are always costly to your future. In fact, I say that distractions are a downpayment on the derailment of your purpose and the death of your vision. The one thing that you cannot afford to be is distracted. The objective of distractions is to divest your attention and energy away from your goals and ultimately disrupt your progress. As you set strategic goals for the last three months of this year, I want you to be sure to rid your life of everything that is standing in the way of your advancement and ascension. In other words, anything that is facilitating your comfort at the expense of your growth is an enemy. Refuse to allow anything in your life to rob you of embracing new realms and new possibilities. Your concentration is too important to be consumed with anything that robs you of change and progress.
  3. You must give every season of your life intention. While I could write an entire book on this one sentence, I want you to really grasp this concept. Currently, I am in a season of refinement and reinvention in my life. I am discovering things about myself that I was never aware of before. Furthermore, I am learning how to love myself unconditionally. This year has brought tremendous growth, development, maturity, and evolution. Every season of your life has a purpose. The problem is that most people are blind to the significance of seasons in their lives. Any season that you cannot discern is a season that you cannot benefit from. I want to challenge you to take some time and collect your thoughts. Think about what this season of your life is all about. What is the lesson that this season is trying to teach you? Are you paying attention to the lessons? More importantly, are you gaining the wisdom that you need from this season? As I have gotten older, I have become more aware of the fact that there is something that I can extract from every season of my life. From that wisdom, I am empowered to build the foundation that will support my success in future seasons of my life. Never embark upon a season without setting an intention. Spend some time setting your intention for the next three months. Your life will always conform to what you call it.
  4. Allow momentum to be the catalyst that moves your life forward. Over the last few months, I have grown so much as a person. As a result, it has changed the way that I approach my life and how I approach my goals. I’ve always believed that momentum is the magnet that attracts success into your life. However, I have now discovered that momentum is what will empower you to master every season of your life. So many people want to advance and actualize their goals. The only problem is that they are trying to manifest goals without momentum. This brings me to a very important question: how do you get momentum in your life? In order to get momentum, you have to create wins. In order to create wins, you have to take action. Therefore, action is the catalyst to momentum in your life. You have to stop being ambitious and become a person of action. Your dreams will die in your heart unfulfilled without action. Your dreams live, grow and find expression through action. The more action you take the more momentum you gain. Most of all, momentum is the engine that drives sustainable success in your life. Momentum not only empowers you to make progress. Momentum will perpetuate cycles of success and prosperity in your life. Momentum is the force that unlocks and ushers you into your prophetic future.
