Is August a 3, 4 or 5 Week Month?

Is August a 3, 4 or 5 Week Month?

Consider the following;

Week 1 – August 1 – 5
Week 2 – August 8 – 12
Week 3 – August 15 – 19
Week 4 – August 22 – 26
Week 5 – August 29 – September 2

I’m suggesting that you approach August as either a 3 or a 4 week month at the Get-Go and here’s why. Labor Day is September 5th and you will agree that very little business transpires the week or the two weeks before Labor Day for two reasons;

– Reason one is people that have children will be busy getting them ready for the school year during Week 4 – August 22 – 26 & Week 5 – August 29 – September 2
– Reason two is it will dawn on some of you that you have worked all summer without taking a break so you will take your last gasp of summer Week 4 – August 22 – 26 & Week 5 – August 29 – September 2

So if you are inclined to want to set and achieve goals in the month of August and given the above –

I’m suggesting that you focus your attention on setting and achieving your goals during the first 3 Weeks in August and rather than pushing rope during Weeks 4 & 5 of August you can either;

– Enjoy Weeks 4 & 5 of August
Or
– Do your business development and planning for the best final quarter that you have ever had.

This reminds me of something that Thomas O’Neill said to me at Nelson Deslippe’s Holiday Party last December.

“Do you want to know how to get busy in January & February? Get started in September!”
