With all due respect to Green Day, I hope that you're not singing this song: "Wake Me Up When September Ends."

September. It's here now.

We're in that last push for business so that we might end 2011 in as good a position as possible. Flaky economy be damned.

No time to sleep. Here's what you can do:

Network more and do it in a more strategic manner.
Connect with clients.
Reconnect with dormant accounts.
Invest in some refresher training.
Start to use social media exquisitely. (Don't know how? Reach out and get some help. There are scads of resources to contact.)
Not getting the results that you want? Think creatively and do things differently…now
Explore strategic alliances.
Divorce "bad" clients.
Stop blaming the economy, your employees, your bad luck.
Think positively.
Get/be healthy. You can't work hard if you don't feel good.
