The Power of the Push: Why the Last 20 Days Matter Most by Dr. Trina Pullum
As the year winds down, many people begin to slow their pace, shift their focus to the holidays, and mentally clock out until January. But for entrepreneurs, leaders, and goal-getters, the last 20 days of the year hold an extraordinary opportunity. These days are not just a countdown; they are a catalyst. The final stretch is where clarity sharpens, momentum accelerates, and transformation becomes possible. This is where the power of the push lives.
1. Small Moves Create Big Shifts
The biggest misconception about success is that it always comes from large, dramatic actions. In reality, the last 20 days are a powerful window for small, consistent steps that create massive change, whether you’re refining your systems, sending final invoices, wrapping up projects, or closing a few additional sales. Every effort compounds. Momentum responds to movement.
2. Most People Quit—And That’s Your Advantage
Here’s the truth: most people slow down during the final stretch of the year. They say, “I’ll start fresh in January.” They put dreams, goals, and responsibilities on pause.
This is exactly why the last 20 days matter most for YOU. While others rest, you rise. While others delay, you decide. While others are waiting, you’re working.
This window gives you an undeniable competitive advantage. The marketplace is quieter, your competitors are coasting, and your audience is still watching. The push you make right now can elevate your visibility, strengthen your credibility, and position you as the leader who finishes—not just starts.
3. Completion Builds Confidence
Finishing something, whether big or small, builds belief. Confidence isn’t born from perfection; it’s built through completion. When you push through the last 20 days instead of giving up or giving in, you prove to yourself that you have discipline, resilience, and follow-through.
4. The Last 20 Days Are for Alignment, Not Overwhelm
This push isn’t about burnout or frantic last-minute scrambling. It’s about alignment. Ask yourself:
What are the top three things I can complete that will make the most significant impact?
What can I release that no longer serves me?
What one action today will move me closer to who I want to be next year?
This season is about intentional progress. Not perfection. Not pressure. Purpose.
5. You Set the Tone for How the New Year Will Meet You
How you end a year is how the next year greets you. If you end with procrastination, you start with overwhelm. If you end with clarity, you start with strategy. If you end with momentum, you start with power.
Your future self is watching how you show up right now.
Final Thoughts
The last 20 days are not the leftover days; they are the launchpad. They carry the potential to reset your mindset, reinforce your discipline, and reignite your momentum. This is your moment to push, to pursue, to finish strong.
The push has power.
