As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to reflect, assess, and set yourself up for success in the new year. CEOs and business leaders know that the final quarter is critical for wrapping up projects and creating a foundation for growth in 2025. If you’re wondering how to end 2024 strong, here are five impactful steps to take as a CEO.
1. Reflect on Wins and Key Lessons
One of the most powerful actions for year-end planning is reflection. Take stock of your achievements and the lessons you learned along the way. Recognize what strategies drove success and which areas had room for improvement. This reflection will provide valuable insights, helping you replicate successes and make adjustments where needed as you set your business goals for 2025.
2. Strengthen Client Relationships
As you gear up for the new year, it’s essential to nurture the relationships you’ve built with clients and customers. Sending personalized thank-you messages, exclusive year-end offers, or even just a thoughtful note can solidify trust and create loyalty. Strengthening client relationships for growth now sets the stage for long-term partnerships and helps you kick off the year with a supportive network.
3. Review and Improve Financials
Before the new year begins, CEOs need to evaluate their company’s financial health. Review your expenses, identify revenue streams, and assess any areas where you can reduce costs. Knowing your financial position allows for better decision-making and can reveal untapped potential for growth in 2025.
4. Streamline Business Operations
Look for opportunities to simplify or improve your business processes. Streamlining business operations frees up valuable time and resources that can be reinvested in growth initiatives. Automation tools or outsourcing tasks may be helpful for maximizing efficiency, giving your team more bandwidth for strategic projects as you focus on scaling.
5. Set a Clear Vision for 2025
Setting a bold, clear vision is essential for future success. Consider the main objectives for 2025 and break them down into actionable steps. Whether you aim to reach new revenue goals, expand your reach, or introduce new services, starting with a focused plan will help you achieve your goals faster and more effectively.
By following these five steps, you’ll have a solid plan to close out the year and start 2025 with clarity and momentum.

Alright, now let’s get down to business and unveil our Top 5 Proven Fall Marketing Ideas along with some killer tips on how to launch your brand like a pro:
1. Fall Flash Sales – The Emergency Unicorn!
- Picture this: You’re scrolling through your favorite online store, and suddenly, you come across a jaw-dropping discount that’s only available for a ridiculously short amount of time – maybe even just one day! Talk about pressure, right? Well, that’s the magic of fall flash sales! These short-lived discounts create a sense of urgency that makes customers whip out their wallets faster than you can say “autumn leaves.” To really make it pop, slap a countdown timer on your sales page and pair it with some scroll-stopping images. And don’t forget to pour your heart and soul into crafting irresistible sales content that will leave your customers craving more.
2. Fall Bundle Ideas – The More, the Merrier!
- Ah, bundles, the superheroes of the sales world. Imagine this: You take your top three best-selling products or courses, bundle them up like a fall-scented gift, and offer them at a price so good it’s practically stealing! What could be more enticing than that? Now, here’s the secret sauce: create a sense of urgency by letting your followers in on the fact that this bundle will only be available for a limited time – let’s say three days – and then POOF it’s gone forever (well, at least until next autumn). This scarcity tactic will have your customers racing to snatch up this unbeatable deal before it disappears into the misty autumn air.
3. Fall Giveaways – What’s Not to Love?
- Who doesn’t love free stuff, right? That’s why giveaways are the ultimate weapon when it comes to boosting brand recognition and gaining more followers and fans.

Don’t worry, we’re not talking about a complex legal document here. Just set some simple, fun rules that will help you get in front of more people. After all, the more, the merrier, right? So, get those creative juices flowing and plan a giveaway that will have your audience drooling over their keyboards, desperately trying to get their hands on your amazing prizes.
4. Fall Special Deals – A Whole Week of Awesomeness!
- Are you ready to transform your fall into an epic sales bonanza? Say hello to fall special deals! Think of it as a limited-time offer but with a twist. Instead of focusing on just one product, choose seven different ones and promote a different gem each day for a whole week. You might be thinking, “Won’t I annoy my followers with all these sales posts?” Fear not! Honesty is the best policy, so be transparent and let your audience know you’re unleashing a whole week of special deals. And hey, who can resist a good discount on their favorite products? Mix in some inspirational stories to keep things fresh and exciting, and watch your sales skyrocket!
5. Goodbye Summer Sale – The Ultimate Farewell Bash!
- As the summer sun begins to fade, it’s time to bid farewell and celebrate the arrival of fall with gusto. Enter the “Goodbye Summer Sale” – a chance to do some spring cleaning for your business, but in autumn. If you have any summer-related products, now’s the time to give them a warm discount hug. But don’t worry, even if your products have no direct ties to sunny days and beach vibes, you can still join the party! Simply choose a few items you’d like to sell more of, whip up a fantastic discount code, and voila – you’re ready to make some sales magic happen!
So there you have it, the five incredible fall marketing ideas that will have you strutting your stuff and raking in the sales like a pro.

Today, I scheduled an interview with one of my fellow mompreneur at the academy. In case you don’t know, our tribe focuses on a certain amount of public relations touches each month. It’s part of our strategic plan (Hence, the reason why I want you in there).
So how do you handle no-shows? When you have things scheduled – whether they’re clients, whether they’re interviews, whether they’re people who you’re supposed to meet up with. How do you deal with the moment of rejection? Because honestly, that’s what it feels like. I remember when I first got into this game of being an entrepreneur, being out there increasing my visibility that initially when I would get the no-shows. And you know what? I would take that as a shot to my heart, like a shot to my heart literally which left questioning myself “Oh my God! What’s wrong with me? Is there something wrong with me? Did my breath smell?” It’s like I’lI be ready and then when no one shows up I begin to question myself (let me know if this has happened to you too).
It’s also the reason why I posted it on all of my social media and here on my website. (I’ll be real, I never posted it because I didn’t think it was a teaching lesson.) And I also realised today that you all need to know that I get “no-shows” too. That I would schedule things, I’d clear my calendar, I’d shift things around (skipping my morning bike-ride), and shifting my whole life aside for this interview that did not show. So I’m going to keep it real with you, I was salty. I was like: “I ain’t rescheduling, this is unprofessional, they should’ve at least let me know in an email.” But I’ve also learned that things happen and that we have to have a forgiving spirit to a space where we don’t take everything so personally. So how do we handle it when it happens? Here’s some 3 tips on how you can handle it:
First, don’t take it personal. It’s not anything directed towards you, it doesn’t mean you’re a horrible person, it doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you. It’s just on the other end, unexpected things happen.
Second, have grace. Have grace in space because sometimes it’s you. I literally have grace in space because sometimes it could be me. Like I remember from my show “Dr Ali Griffith’s Mindset Meditation and Motivation” when I am revamping it this summer, (somebody holds me accountable) I want to record 20 recordings over the summer (21 if I’m feeling froggy). Aside from revamping, I also want to theme-launch Legacy Brand Academy because our Anthology is coming out! So I say all that to have grace with the space because I remembered when I was a host and unexpected things happened. I’d have to cancel those things I planned in advance and sometimes I may not even be near a space where I can send an email. I really feel horrible at those times…
This happens also for my clients when I had my sessions. I mean, I would like to say my hit rate in terms of making my sessions for my clients is about 90%. So when the person who was on the other end didn’t show up, I followed up with them and try to make adjustments to make up for our lost session. I don’t play with their sessions unless something has happened in my life, I shifted some sessions during our family — going through the process with my papa Roy. But other than that, I honor time. I think I honor time so much that if I tell you I’m going to be someplace, I’m going to be someplace. I’m not that person you have to double check to see if I’m coming. Once I say I’m coming, once I put it into my calendar I will be there. But life happens and when life happens I want people to have grace with me. So if I want them to have grace with me, then I have to have grace with them.
Lastly, redirect the time. Once your face is beat, once you’re feeling ready for it then record your own stuff. Now is the time for you to turn on the camera, create those reels, create that landing page video, create that thank you page video, there’s a whole list of videos that we all should have a standard video. Go to that list and start creating, because you’re already ready, and now you can’t use the excuse that you don’t have time, because you had a whole half an hour blocked out in your schedule for that interview, so now get to it! “Get to it!” that’s what I tell myself, “Get to it, get to it Ali!” So y’all go see a tiktok with this dress on, you’re going to see a video with this dress and earrings — look at it now. Because we’re going to repurpose the time. So a no-show is not necessarily a no-go, it is time for you to focus on you, and focus on your brand, and what can you do with that at the same time.

I just got off a call and it was actually an accountability pod call with some of my clients in my academy. They were sharing some of the things that they’re working on next. I began to think about some of the growth I’ve seen, some are consistent growth across the pattern. I’m saying “pattern” because sometimes it has to be a pattern for you to notice what is the system in the process.
Now, on a scale of 1-10. Tell me, are you being consistent with your business? Everything’s running smoothly? I want you to keep it REAL. It’s okay if you’re not consistent, not everything’s going according to your plan and this is a very common pattern I noticed as a coach of CEOs. Not having strength, consistent progress, and growth for their business is one of the common struggles as a business owner.
And thanks for keeping it real! To be honest, being consistent is one of the things that is super challenging. Especially for moms, busy moms, and moms that have special needs children. This is also applicable for professionals out there who are trying to juggle everything!
When we’re trying to juggle everything, one of the balls are always dropping. And when it happens, it makes it harder for us to have that consistency in our life and in our business. (Real recognizes real, right?)
If you’ve been following me for months, either on facebook or instagram, emails, blogs, You know that I am consistent.
You know that you’ll see something from me almost every single day. You’ll see me showing up in my business or just sharing my life. And if you want to see the books I published, you’ll see the backend of my system. The growth and revenue on my business are consistent as well as my client’s business too.
Some of the things we notice are the biggest & most common challenge: it is when things happen that derail us. Those Unpredictable moments.
When something unpredictable happens, a lot of us tend to fall by the wayside and we have to be okay with that, sis! We got to be okay with the fact that everything can’t be 100% okay.
So here’s the number one secret for consistency… Are you ready?? Ready for consistent revenue & growth?
This is something I had to find out. It was a hard lesson for me to find out. The number one lesson is making sure that I celebrate my baby wins. (And y’all expecting something gigantic, right? lol) BUT baby wins matter! It matters because sometimes we forget to celebrate the little steps, the little things we get to accomplish. The little course that we’ve made between where we were a few years ago compared to where we are now. You should always break it down from work -to family – to business. Remember, there’s no such thing as balance. What’s important is you make it work!
I gave up balance a long time ago when my coach, Lisa Nichols, said “There’s no such thing as balance but there’s something we call harmony.” – that clears up everything.
I stopped trying to get the same amount of time spent with my family, work, and business because it’s not true. What I focused on is having the concentrated effort to make sure that you’re touching in the specific areas that are super important to you and to your future.
In case you didn’t know, I’m a legacy-driven coach and I speak a lot of pop-up shops BUT I also believe in taking time.
I don’t believe that we need to do everything in a rush but I do believe that we should take the time to instil one step at a time to avoid being overwhelmed.
We’ll feel overwhelmed when we keep on trying to do so much that we can do in a day. My son, Zachary, is my best teacher. He’s the one that has helped me to slow things down and to create consistent steps. Meaning: I’m going to take a step today and maybe another step tomorrow. But by the next 2 or 3 days, there’ll be another step. Some days, when we have the energy and momentum then we can take a few steps on those days.
But we should always be okay on those days when we’re not floating high or on the days that a lot is going on. We should know our body and know when we are operating in higher vibrations and when we are not. If we’re not, those are not the times to focus on those specific things.
