Quarterly Goals Update: What I'm Manifesting Before The End Of This Year

It's Q4, baby! We are three months out from the end of 2026, and if you've been following along this year, you know this has been quite a ride.
At the start of the year I declared BOLD would be my word of the year. I knew that word would likely lead to some pretty uncomfortable places. And to be honest, holding BOLD energy for an entire year is quite a lot.
We're now in the final stretch, and this is my last quarterly update for 2026. I'm sharing where I'm at with my big $300k goal, why Q3 was a really stretchy quarter, and what I'm manifesting for the final three months of the year.
(If you want to catch up, here's my Q1 update and my mid-year update.)
I'm being so real with you in this one. Because I know at this time of year, it can feel very tempting to just coast through to the end of the year, and there is still time for so much magic to happen before December 31.
Where I'm At With My $300k Business Goal
At the start of the year I set myself a big, audacious goal of having a $300k year in business – which would mean more than doubling my revenue, while also being a mum of three with a baby at home full time.
So where are we at?
I can tell you right now that we are nowhere near that goal.
To hit $300k this year, I would need a $150k cash quarter. That is, $150k cash in the bank, not just in sales. And when I look at where my business is, where I am and what my capacity is like over the next few months, I will be very surprised if I get there before the end of the year.
Now in saying that, I'm really mindful of how I speak about this, because it is absolutely still possible, and I am very open to being surprised, please and thank you, Universe.
At the same time, I am really happy with where I'm at financially in the business right now. Despite three months off for maternity leave late last year and having a baby at home with me full time, I’ve had my biggest year in business ever.
So while a $300k year is a BIG stretch at this point, I have already won. And I am really, really proud of that.
Celebrating The Wins So Far This Year
I hit 3,000 followers on Instagram this quarter, which was a fun milestone to celebrate.
I hosted my in-person immersion in May. My first one in over 18 months, and it was such a success that I'm running another one in November on the NSW South Coast. Find out more here.
My backyard studio is so close to being done. The flooring is about to go in, then the electrical and a few final bits and pieces. I'm expecting to be in by the end of October.
My health and wellness goals have been up and down. I’ve had stretches of real consistency, then quite a few periods where it's fallen off completely.
What Happened in Q3: Feeling the Stretch
Q3 was a really stretchy quarter, and I was definitely feeling it. Mostly on an energetic level.
Reuben turned one in August (I cannot believe he's already one!), and as he gets older, the juggle of mum-life and biz-life has been getting harder to manage.
I very gratefully have support. My dad has been an absolute godsend, often coming over to look after Reuben when I have client calls booked in, so I can show up fully present for my clients.
But outside of that, I'm doing most of my work in the gaps of my day. During nap times, after the boys go to bed. And after a big day of mumming, of serving clients, of doing all the things, by the time 8:30pm rolls around I don’t always have a lot of creative juice left.
And this is the first time I've had a business of this size, with this many clients, with a baby at home full time. So I am feeling that stretch more than I ever have before.
So it's no surprise that my August launch of the Mistressmind didn't quite go to plan. I welcomed some incredible new women, but I didn't hit the numbers I was going for.
(I share more about this energetic piece on the podcast last week).
Business Growth Without Burnout
I recognised during that launch that if I kept pushing in this way, I was running the risk of burning myself out.
And I'm not here to build a business that burns me out. I'm also not here to sacrifice this time with my kids. They're not going to be this little forever.
So while my $300k goal has served me so well this year, I also don't need to work myself into the ground and sacrifice this time with my kids, all for some number in a spreadsheet. Especially when my business is already doing well.
My ultimate goal is to run my business in a way where I can serve my clients really well, and create an abundant, spacious life for myself and my family. Whether I hit $300k this year or next year or the year after isn't the point.
The point is a sustainable business that supports this season of life.
So I've had to make some really honest decisions about what I'm willing to do in the pursuit of that goal, and what it looks like to embody BOLDNESS.
Maybe the bold thing is to share this with you very honestly like I am now.
Maybe the bold thing is to change my mind and change how I'm doing things, while still holding this big vision for myself.
Maybe the bold thing is to work on expanding my energetic capacity to hold more in this season of life.
How I'm Resetting My Energy Heading Into Q4
After my launch, I gave myself permission to really reset my energy. I focused mostly on client delivery, and prioritised rest and downtime.
So I’ve now been able to anchor back into my vision and get clear on what I actually want to create for the rest of this year.
There's a delicate balance I've been trying to find between not shrinking my goals and not putting unnecessary pressure on myself.
I don't want to go into Q4 contracted and small because Q3 was hard. But I also can't operate the same way I was operating in Q3 and expect a different result.
So I'm leaning back into my spiritual practices and manifestation rituals, morning meditation, oracle cards, my hypnosis tracks, ritual, intentionality and sacred moments in the everyday. The things that fill me back up.
Because where your focus goes, energy flows. And in Q3 I wasn't pouring nearly enough energy into the things that expand me.
What I'm Manifesting Before the End of 2026
In business, I'm manifesting a $50k Mistressmind launch in November, with ten incredible women joining me inside the program.
As well as, ten women at the November Spiritual Business Immersion here on the South Coast.
I'm also determined to get back into a rhythm with content, from a place of enjoyment and inspiration and fun. I'd love to get back to posting three or four times a week, consistently, with content I'm actually enjoying creating.
On the health front: I am committing to three workouts a week, at least two walks, and a stretch goal of a gentle return to running.
And the backyard studio – being in there and settled well before the end of the year, which feels very, very close.
How to Recalibrate Your Business Goals for the Final Quarter
I know at this time of year it can feel very tempting to just coast through to December.
Particularly if you've been feeling exhausted and depleted like I was after my launch.
The Year of the Fire Horse has not mucked around. Things have been moving quickly, and it’s been a lot! I know I'm not alone in that feeling.
But there are still three months left of this year. That is an entire quarter. 25% of the year. If you wrote off the last three months every year, that would be a quarter of your life.
So my invitation to you is this:
Rest and reset first. Prioritise yourself and get back into the practices and rituals that light you up.
Do a quick review of where you're at.
Celebrate what you've already created this year, even if it's not everything you set out to do.
Check in with your goals and decide what you still want to call in.
Recommit to the rest of this year and go all in.
This is such a potent time to be manifesting. There is still time for so much magic to happen in your life and business before December 31.
Once you've done this, come and tell me what you're calling in for Q4. Send me a DM on Instagram at @bec_cuzzillo. I would genuinely love to know what you're manifesting before the end of 2026.
And if you want support to call in your next chapter of business, there will be one last intake of the Spiritual Business Mistressmind in November. Jump on the waitlist for the best price and exclusive waitlist-only bonuses.
