As of yesterday, there are 11 weeks left in the year. Yet, I know that many people are already telling themselves, “There’s no point in starting this late in the year, I’ll start on January 1st.” But let’s be honest—we’ve seen how that story often plays out.
If you’ve been postponing change until the new year, what makes you think January will magically make things easier?
Health and Wealth: A Useful Comparison
I often compare health to finances because, for many, money feels more tangible—often treated as a higher priority than well-being. But here’s the truth: neglecting your health today will cost you much more in the long run.
There’s an old Chinese proverb that says:
“The man who sacrifices his health for wealth will eventually sacrifice his wealth [in an attempt] to regain his health.”
Why wait to start taking care of yourself when you have time right now to make progress?
What 11 Weeks Can Do for You
Imagine you won $52,000 at the start of the year. Over the months, you’ve spent the majority and the balance is now down to $11,000. What do you do? Do you abandon it? I doubt it very heavily!
You’d use every remaining dollar to your advantage, squeezing as much value out of that money as possible.
The same goes for the 11 weeks left in the year. If you start now, you’re not just “riding out” 2024—you’re building momentum, setting a foundation, and positioning yourself for a stronger start in 2025. Small, consistent efforts today can have a massive impact.
Stop Waiting—Start Now
Don’t let these last 11 weeks go to waste. Your health, like your finances, thrives on what you invest in it—starting now, not later. January 1st isn’t a magical day; today is just as good.
The clock is ticking. What will you do with the time that’s left?
