HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 🦃

This kicks off the Holiday Season of giving and that also means giving thanks.

Today always provides a good reminder to ask yourself…

What am I thankful for?

Who am I thankful for?

Last year, I shared some great tips as you reflect on your life thus far.

Check out 👉 FLIGHT #036 for a refresher.

This year…

Let’s talk about the one thing you can do for an even bigger, better, faster, stronger 2025.

🤯 THE MINDSET SHIFT 🤯

There’s only 33 days left in 2024.

Have you thought about what you want to accomplish next year?

To get a head start, now is the time to PREPARE for it.

Plan, coordinate, and implement…

…so that you can focus on ACTION all of next year.

If you wait until January, you’ll be late to the game and you won’t hit your stride until March.

Here are some of the things you can do in your professional life right now…

• Gain feedback from clients to improve your services.

  • A simple Google Form can do the trick here.

• Implement a client referral program to grow your business/pipeline.

  • Reward clients with a gift card or free upgrade for every signed referral.

• Collaborate with your team or industry peers to develop best practices and generate new ideas.

  • Don’t be a lone wolf and think you know it all. Be sure to set aside some time to learn from others.

Here are some of the things you can do in your personal life right now…

• Focus on nutrition to start January in the best shape of your life.

  • Limit the alcohol, kick up the protein, and skip the second helping.

• Take time for rest, reflection, and rejuvenation.

  • Be mindful and gain clarity to set clear and motivating goals.

• Plan out your adventures.

  • Adventure drives happiness, so mark the calendar now for time away to unplug next year.

The Holidays are officially upon us.

Now is the time for reflection…

…and starting your PREPARATION for next year.

1. If you’re a small business owner or have an S-Corporation LLC, the smartest decision you can make is outsourcing your payroll and tax process. Consider 👉Journey Payroll as your go-to team and resource to ensure success.

2. On this Thanksgiving Day reach out to someone who you haven’t spoken to in awhile and share your gratitude for them.
