Closing Strong: Executive Priorities for Friday

Friday isn’t just “wrap-up day.” It’s where disciplined leaders lock in the week’s gains and stage a clean runway for Monday. If you’re a corporate executive in your Second Act—or building one—today is for closing loops, protecting energy, and positioning capital (time, money, attention) with intention.

🌿 Wellness, Then Work

Two quick, evidence-informed resets you can do today:

For Women (especially 47+ navigating menopause):

• 10–12 minute brisk walk after lunch to stabilize energy and mood.
• Evening wind-down: magnesium glycinate + screen dimming 90 minutes before bed to support deeper sleep and morning clarity.

For Men (47+ and executive pace):

• “Micro-lift” circuit (5–7 minutes): pushups → bodyweight squats → farmer’s carry (bags or dumbbells).
• Add 20–30g protein at breakfast to improve focus and decision stamina.

Quiet body = clear decisions. Clear decisions = lower risk.

 

📈 Business Corner: Numbers that Actually Move the Needle

No hype—just metrics you can act on before the weekend.

1) Cash & Runway

• Target 6–9 months of operating runway (private practices/firms).
• Move surplus cash into a tiered sweep: checking (1 month) → high-yield reserve (2–3 months) → T-bill/ladder or short-duration instruments (rest).
• Weekly check: Net cash change vs. forecast (variance ≤ ±5%).

2) Pipeline Reality Check

• # Qualified Leads this week (fit + budget + timing).
• Win rate (last 90 days) × Avg. deal size = realistic next-60-day revenue.
• If delta > 20% from your target, adjust outreach volume or offer structure today, not next quarter.

3) Owner Yield (Personal)

• Aim for 15–25% owner’s pay on true profit (after all expenses, including your market-rate salary).
• Automate transfers every Friday: Taxes → Profit → Owner’s Pay → OPEX. If it’s manual, it won’t happen consistently.

4) Time ROI (Calendar)

• Block 90 minutes Monday AM for highest-ROI task (sales, investor relations, or delivery that unlocks revenue).
• Kill or delegate anything < $500/hour value to you.

Featured Book (Legacy Library):

Jim Cramer, How to Make Money in Any Market (released Sept 30, 2025). I’m still reading it… featuring it this month for disciplined, long-horizon owners. We’ll add it to the Legacy Library next month.

🎙️ Podcast & Series

• New episode: The Second Act Executive is live on Apple, Spotify, iHeart—hosted by Antoinette Wolf.

♈ Executive Horoscopes (1-liners for decisions today)

• Aries: Say no once to say yes to scale.
• Taurus: A small price increase beats a big discount.
• Gemini: Pick one channel and go deep for 30 days.
• Cancer: Protect your morning; deal with people’s fires after 11 AM.
• Leo: Showcase a client win; social proof closes silent prospects.
• Virgo: Ship the V1; iteration is the strategy.
• Libra: One offer, three tiers. Stop customizing the fourth.
• Scorpio: Audit subscriptions—cut 10% with zero loss of capability.
• Sagittarius: Book the Q4 partnership call today, not “next week.”
• Capricorn: Move one workflow from you → SOP → team.
• Aquarius: Pilot the new tech with one use-case, one owner.
• Pisces: Calendar your creative block; protect it like a board meeting.
