The 6-Week Sprint That Changes Everything – It’s Not Too Late. Here’s How To Turn the Year Around
If the summer slowdown set you back a little - you’re not alone.
We’ve seen the same pattern play out year after year:
June starts strong
July gets wobbly
August hits… and the wheels start to loosen
And then suddenly - it’s fall. And the question becomes:
“How the heck am I going to catch up before year-end?”
Here’s the good news: You don’t need to panic.
You don’t need to cram 3 months of work into 3 weeks.
You don’t even need to be perfect.
You just need a 6-week sprint - and a strategy that’s actually built for results.
Why 6 weeks?
Because it’s long enough to make a meaningful impact…
But short enough to stay focused, accountable, and agile.
In our Fractional CFO advisory work, we guide clients through focused 6-week sprints built around the 16 Drivers of Revenue, Profit & Cash Flow.
Not all 16 need fixing at once.
But almost every business has 3–5 high-impact drivers that, if addressed right now, would unlock major progress before Q4.
Here’s what a sprint might focus on:
Lead Generation & Conversion – Reactivate stale leads. Clean up sales follow-up. Close what’s close-able.
Pricing & Profitability – Re-evaluate whether current pricing is still viable. Consider strategic increases or bundling to boost margin.
Cash Flow Rhythm – Get billing back on track. Tighten collections. Reschedule or restructure large outflows.
Operational Support – Re-assign or delegate stalled projects. Identify bottlenecks caused by owner-dependence.
Visibility & Metrics – Rebuild a weekly reporting cadence so you’re not flying blind for the rest of the year.
The question is:
What would happen if your next 6 weeks were your most focused all year?
What if you…
Clarified your key metrics
Focused your team on what matters
Knew where your cash was coming from—and when
Freed yourself up to lead (instead of putting out fires)
That’s what a smart sprint can do. And it doesn’t have to be heavy. You don’t need 15 new tools.
You just need a plan, a rhythm, and the right metrics in front of you each week.
