Finish The Year STRONG With These Habits And Goals!

Feel like the year is ending and you’re still stuck? Learn how to use the final 90 days to reset habits, identity, and momentum.

Feb 11

Feel like the year’s ending and you’re still exactly where you were in January? I get it.

The goals, the habits, the version of you you thought you’d be by now—it’s all still sitting in a notes app.

But we’re not spiraling. We’re resetting.

In this post, I’m walking you through how I’ve been using the last 90 days of the year to stop overthinking and actually follow through—with habits, mindset, and routines that feel good and actually stick.

So if you’ve been stuck in a loop of planning without doing… this is your permission slip to start again. The year’s not over—and neither are you.

Let’s go.

The Real Reason the Last Quarter Feels Impossible

Something strange happens every year around October.

People stop believing the rest of the year counts.

It’s almost like the entire world collectively shrugs and goes, “Eh… I’ll try again in January.”

And I want to be clear about this:

That mindset is one of the biggest reasons women in business stay stuck.

January 1 is not magical.

It’s not a cosmic reset or a universal permission slip.

It’s a date.

A human invention.

A social construct with good PR.

There is nothing January first can give you that a random Tuesday can’t.

When you really let that land, everything changes.

Because suddenly, you don’t need a new month or a new year or a new planner.

You only need a decision.

You can finish the year strong, but not if you’re mentally skipping the last quarter.

And truly—this is exactly why my program, Epic Q, exists inside Superbloom Coach Society.

Because I watched brilliant women throw away an entire season of their life every single year… not because they failed, but because they stopped trying long before the year ended.

This year, I decided no more!

Inspired by my 3 previous rounds of 75 hard, I decided to create a similar program—but for business.

And I’ve called it “Epic Q” — for your most epic quarter ever.

But it didn’t stop there… because I decided to combine it with 75 Hard!

So for the last few weeks I’ve been doing Epic Q + my 4th round of 75 Hard.

And that combination has changed me—mentally, physically, emotionally, AND professionally.

My business has shifted.

Iv’e noticed mindset has sharpened.

My discipline has strengthened.

My energy has increased.

This isn’t about punishment or hustle.

It’s about becoming the woman who follows through—especially when the world is winding down.

Why I Decided to “Lock In” for Q4

Let me tell you how this happened.

I’ll be honest: I looked around at the end of Q3 and realized that this year wasn’t really going as planned. So I started feeling discouraged.

And I didn’t like that feeling. Because it felt like giving up.

So instead I doubled down.

I wondered what I could do to turn everything around in the last quarter of the year. Instead of coasting, how could I realign myself?

And I remembered how life changing it had been every time I’d completed another round of 75 Hard.

So I wondered if there was a way to take that sort of program, that discipline, and that energy and make it work for my business.

And that’s when I came up with the idea of Epic Q.

Epic Q is my 90-day identity, discipline, and habit system—for business. And I included it for free for all my members inside of Superbloom Coach Society.

But I also decided that I wanted to do 75 Hard again—for the fourth time—so I wasn’t just elevating my business, but also my life.

Most people see 75 Hard as a fitness challenge.

I don’t.

I see it as an identity shift. It’s a mental toughness challenge.

Two workouts a day.

Daily reading.

A diet you actually stick to.

A gallon of water.

No alcohol.

No compromises.

Daily self-accountability.

It wasn’t the workouts that transformed me every time (though they helped!)—it was the consistency, the willingness to be uncomfortable on purpose. Choosing the future version of me, even when the current version wanted to quit and it was the proof, every single day, that discipline feels better than disappointment.

Pairing these two systems—Epic Q and 75 Hard—has created a level of momentum I’ve never had before.

Not hustle, burnout or perfectionism.

Momentum.

Momentum leads to clarity.

Clarity leads to action.

Action leads to identity.

Identity leads to results.

That’s why I want to walk you through some of the habits I’ve used in my own lock-in season—the ones that actually move the needle.

Not the cute ones.

Not the aesthetic ones.

The ones that build identity and results.

The Habits That Actually Matter

Combining Epic Q + 75 Hard means I’ve got eleven daily actions to complete… yes, daily.

By the way, Superbloom Coach Society members get the full breakdown, the checklist, the printable tracker—the whole system.

But today, I’m giving you a few of the ones that have really helped this fast transformation.

If you want the full structure, the support, and the consistency, that’s all inside of Superbloom Coach Society.

But here are a few of the habits that have had a huge impact on me:

Habit 1: Daily Exercise

Not for physical reasons.

For leadership reasons.

If you want to be a leader, you need to take care of yourself first. And it’s way too easy to skip the self care (especially things we don’t want to do… like workout), by claiming we’re “too busy.” Believe me, I know this trick all too well.

But I decided, no more. I’m making myself the priority this quarter.

So every single day I exercised—whether I felt like it or not—I became a woman who keeps promises to herself.

Stepping into leadership requires a body that feels awake, energized, and regulated.

And more importantly, it requires you to become someone who keeps promises to herself—rain or shine.

If you’re listening to this thinking, “I’m not a gym person,” then perfect—I’m not either.

And let’s be honest, there are plenty of ways to move your body that don’t require the gym. You can steal my favorite: start taking dance classes!

Habit 2: Daily Sales Activities

This one deserves its own episode.

Here’s the truth:

Most women want a business.

Very few run one.

They journal, visualize, post content, tweak their website, make plans, draft offers they never launch.

They wait for clarity, wait for confidence and they wait for inspiration.

But the women who make money?

They sell.

Yes, even in Q4.

Especially in Q4.

Daily sales activities are part of Epic Q because I got tired of watching brilliant women starve their businesses while feeding their fears.

This is the exact habit that inspired me to create Client Boost Formula—because people kept asking:

“Moriah, how are you getting new clients every month?

What’s the system?

What are you doing?”

So I finally built a comprehensive training that answers that question directly.

And here’s the truth:

Your business won’t finish the year strong unless you do.

Selling daily doesn’t mean being aggressive.

It means consistently showing up for the people who need what you offer.

Your business deserves that from you.

Habit 3: Daily Reading

This one surprised me.

Daily reading is already a part of 75 Hard, and I brought it into Epic Q because of how drastically it shifted my mental landscape.

It’s hard to think big when you feed yourself small thoughts.

A woman who wants to finish the year strong needs a different level of thought leadership.

She needs to hear from people who have walked ahead of her.

Ideas that challenge her patterns.

She needs perspective that stands taller than her excuses.

Daily reading stabilizes your mind.

It elevates your focus.

And it expands your identity.

So I’ve been reading a minimum of 10 pages every day—from personal development and business books. And honestly, it’s become one of my favorite parts of the day.

Habit 4: Daily Models

This is where the real transformation happens.

The Model (circumstances, thoughts, feelings, actions, results) is the coaching tool that has changed my life—and the lives of my clients—more than anything else.

Daily modeling forces you to see exactly how you’ve been creating your own results.

It exposes the beliefs you didn’t realize you were living by.

Reveals patterns you’ve outgrown.

Teaches you emotional responsibility.

It upgrades your identity from the inside out.

There’s nothing passive about mindset work.

When done properly, it’s the most powerful tool you have.

A woman who does daily models isn’t guessing who she is becoming—she is designing her life on purpose.

Why These Habits Work

People think transformation comes from intensity.

It doesn’t.

It comes from repetition and consistency.

Daily choices, daily decisions, daily accountability—these are the quiet behaviors that create loud results.

Consistency feels boring, which is why most people avoid it.

But boredom is a sign that you’re approaching mastery, not failure.

Most people want excitement.

What they actually need is discipline.

Epic Q works because it builds identity, not pressure.

It gives you structure, not rigidity.

It gives you self-trust, not self-punishment.

You finish the year strong because you become someone who follows through—not because you cram every intention into the last stretch of the year.

When you show up daily, you start to trust yourself again.

That trust becomes momentum.

Momentum becomes identity.

Identity becomes a life you’re proud of.

The Truth Women Don’t Want to Admit About the End of the Year

Let’s be honest here.

Most women in business don’t finish the year strong for one reason:

They’ve already decided the year is over.

Not consciously, but emotionally.

They disconnect from their goals long before December ever arrives.

They wait for an imaginary “clean slate” that doesn’t exist.

But here’s the truth:

January won’t suddenly change your identity.

A new planner won’t make you consistent.

Next year won’t give you a new mindset.

If you want to become the woman you thought you’d be by now—you can’t outsource that to a date on a calendar.

Your habits don’t care what month it is.

Goals don’t adjust themselves in December.

Your potential doesn’t shrink just because the year feels “almost over.”

You are not running out of time.

You are running out of excuses.

And I say that with love.

Because once you understand that today holds just as much power as January 1, you reclaim every lost opportunity.

You can finish the year strong, the quarter strong, the week strong… no matter day it is— not because you hustle, but because you stop waiting.

What I Learned From Locking In This Year

The years not even over, but I’ve already seen so many drastic changes.

Pairing Epic Q with 75 Hard taught me things about myself I didn’t expect (and reinforced a few things I already knew)—like:

Discipline feels better than motivation.

Clarity follows action, not the other way around.

That my energy is a choice.

Consistency is a muscle.

That showing up when it’s inconvenient is what separates leaders from dreamers.

That identity is built in the small decisions, not the dramatic ones.

I also learned that most people think they need more time, when what they actually need is more honesty.

Honesty about the habits they break, the goals they abandon, identity they don’t want to outgrow.

Honesty about the distractions they entertain—and they way they’re buffering their life away.

When I became radically honest with myself, I became unstoppable.

And like I said, the year’s not even over. I’m still in the middle of Epic Q and 75 Hard and I’ve already had some amazing wins and transformations, like:

– Losing 10 lbs and getting into the best shape of my life

Launching several new programs

Getting a lot of new clients

This is why I will always finish the year strong—because the woman I become in the last ninety days is the woman who leads the next year.

Your Reset Starts Now

Here’s the moment where YOU get to decide:

Are you going to wait for next January?

Or are you going to use the days in front of you?

You have everything you need to begin again.

Not with perfection, pressure and not with a new planner or a vision board.

With a choice.

There is no deadline for becoming the woman you want to be.

But there is a cost to waiting.

Finishing the year strong isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about thinking smarter.

When you start today, regardless of the date on the calendar, you shift the entire trajectory of your life.

Suddenly you’re not the woman who “tries.”

You’re the woman who decides.

You make decisions differently, honor your energy differently, choose your habits differently, set boundaries differently and you speak to yourself differently.

Everything feels sharper.

Cleaner.

More aligned.

More grounded.

And you stop acting like your future self is miles away.

You realize she’s much, much closer.

The Identity Shift That Matters Most

Here’s the truth I want you to take from this post:

Finishing the year strong has nothing to do with the calendar and everything to do with your identity.

The woman who finishes strong believes:

“I’m not waiting.”

“I’m capable.”

“I can follow through.”

“I’m trusting myself.”

“I decide.”

Identity creates consistency.

Consistency creates results.

And results create a life you want to live in.

You don’t have to do all eleven Epic Q actions, have to do 75 Hard and you do not need to be perfect.

You just need to become the woman who doesn’t abandon herself in the fourth quarter.
