As the financial year winds down, lots of business owners are either running out of steam, or quietly coasting to the finish line.
Totally understandable.
The end of June is full of distractions.
You’re wrapping up projects, finalising invoicing, chasing payments, and possibly thinking about taking a short break.
But if you want to start FY26 strong, now is the time to reset and refocus.
By putting a few smart things in place, you'll set yourself up to hit the ground running in the new financial year 👟👟👟
So, in that spirit, today we're sharing 3 to get ready now for a great FY26.
3 WAYS TO RESET AND REFOCUS FOR A GREAT FY26
1. Review your offer
If you’re serious about growth next year, your offer needs to be valuable and profitable.
Start by asking:
- What services are actually making us money?
- Where am I underpricing?
- What’s confusing for our clients (or your team)?
This isn’t just about cutting, it’s about clarifying.
Remove or repackage anything that no longer fits.
Simplify as much as possible, so you can deliver with confidence.
2. Audit your lead quality (better clients = less stress)
More leads aren’t always the answer to a better business.
Instead of "more", think "higher quality".
Look at your last 10–20 clients:
- Who were your favourites to work with?
- Where did they come from?
- What made them easy to sell to, serve, and retain?
Then… flip it:
- Who drained your time or energy?
- Where did they come from?
This insight is gold.
It tells you where to double down and where to pull back.
Then, use this insight to refine your messaging, adjust your targeting, and focus on the channels and referral sources that bring in higher-quality leads.
3. Pick one big move and plan it now
Every business has a “should’ve done this already” project.
Hiring.
Launching something new.
Automating a core process.
Rethinking your brand.
Delegating key responsibilities.
Pick one, and make it your priority for Q1 of FY26.
Then block time for it. Set a budget. Assign accountability.
Don’t let it roll over into another vague intention.
When you’re focused, strategic progress becomes possible, even if you’re still busy.
Bottom line:
The last few weeks of June don’t have to be a write-off.
They can be a strategic edge for growing your business.
Use this window to tidy up what’s behind you and line up what’s next.
