Autumn Board · Sept
This is the window you prepared for.
The other boards get you ready. This one is about use.
September to November is not the time to disappear back into business-building. It is the time to turn what you prepared into conversations, opportunities and work.
Ten postcards · from 10 minutes · any order you like
coat on, phone out
The board
I’ve got half an hour. What would be useful to do today?
Pick whatever helps, ignore whatever doesn’t, come back whenever you like. Nothing here expires and nothing needs finishing.
Nothing picked yet - one useful postcard is a good day.
You drafted them for exactly this week. They don't need reworking. Send them.
25 mins · Brogan can help
The rooms and the feeds they were going to be in anyway.
30 mins · Luke can help
Lead with their problem, not your availability.
15 mins · Coffee job
Restructures, funding rounds, new hires. Every one of them is a door someone just opened.
25 mins · Brogan can help
One offer. Said clearly. Said more than once.
30 mins · Austin can help
“Who do you know at…” beats “let me know if you hear anything” every time.
15 mins · From your phone
The maybe from March often has a Q4 budget attached to it now.
20 mins · Good one for the train
Nothing kills momentum quite like a stale calendar.
10 mins · From your phone
Write the two paragraphs now, not next summer when the detail has gone.
15 mins · Pen and paper
Busy quarters are exactly how quiet quarters get made.
15 mins · Agent assisted
Not sure which one to pick?
Choose the postcard for the thing you’ve been quietly avoiding. That’s usually the one worth the half hour.
or just do a ten minute one
Who can help
What you get out of it
The board doesn't need finishing. It needs using, in the ten weeks where the market is paying attention.
Arrive whenever - nothing here expires.
Ready when you are
Pick the things that will make the next season easier.
Your Fractional First® Agents can help you work through them from the garden, the sofa, the beach, between client calls or wherever you happen to have an hour.
The goal isn’t to complete the board.
The goal is to be better prepared for the opportunity that’s coming next.
