You've got three or four things you could put your name on before Christmas. This week, you pick one.
This is your CEO Brief for 28 September - 4 October 2026. Chapter 9 of your Operating Year, The Audit. Week five: The Front Foot.
This week runs backwards. Venus turns retrograde on Saturday, so the useful work goes at the front: pick it Monday, say it Tuesday, write it down Wednesday, then stop reopening the decision.
In this Brief:
why "stop everything" isn't my instruction for Venus retrograde, and what happened when I tried doing less in my own business
the one-sentence test for choosing what you're backing through Christmas
what "say it" actually means, and why you don't need a launch on Tuesday
getting price changes and agreements in writing before Venus turns
what belongs in your diary on Wednesday, and what doesn't
why the sharp Friday email stays in drafts
what to do when something suddenly feels urgent over the weekend
your capacity instructions + Four of Pentacles for the week
