Plot twist: it's nothing accounting-related. Not a dollar figure or gross profit margin reference in sight. Instead, this prediction focuses on another area, which – if you invest in it properly, at the right time – will have a far greater impact on your bottom line. I'm talking about your sales pipeline. If you're proactively putting effort into your sales process and filling the pipeline with high-quality opportunities now, you can cruise into the break knowing you're building solid momentum. But if you're not nurturing those? Well, it won't be a stretch to feel as if you've blinked and it's the end of the March quarter already 25% below target for the year. The good news is, if you haven't started doing this yet, there's still time.  That's why in today's video I'm sharing this No. 1 way you can set yourself up for success in 2024 now so you can start the year off ahead of your competitors.   ## Learn everything we teach our clients, free Join 400+ business owners & leaders who receive practical business & accounting tips, delivered free to your inbox every week.
