Forget about new year’s resolutions

Forget about new year’s resolutions…

I’m discovering that December is really the time to plant your stake in the ground 👉🏼

Originally, I had booked off the last 2 weeks of December, thinking the kids would be home from school. We would bake cookies, go to the movies, I might even paint a room, you know, all the things. With the idea that I would hit the ground running as far as my business and books go come January.

Then I found out—just recently, in fact, embarrassingly enough—that the kids don’t finish school until just before Christmas and then they STAY home through the first week of January.

So much for hitting the ground running in January. 

Now I had a whole extra week of December to fill out. And that got me thinking…

Maybe, rather than waiting until January to follow up with potential clients, move forward with my own books, create new partnerships and even plan new events—maybe I could use that week in December to really set myself up. To plant seeds now, that I could continue to nurture and grow in the new year. To make the kind of progress that’s only possible when everyone else has checked out of the grind. To not only finish strong, but also get a head start on the new year. 

So my question for you is, have you already checked out for the holidays? Are you setting yourself up for an amazing new year? Are you planting seeds now to get even closer to making your dreams come true in 2023?

I’m all about enjoying the moment and the holidays (see note above about my earlier plans before things changed), but I gotta admit, I’m loving the momentum I’m creating now. And how much more excited and relaxed I feel about starting the new year in the best position possible. 

So what amazing thing are you planning for 2023, and what seeds can you plant now? Leave me a comment and let me know--I'd love to cheer you on.

PS, if writing/publishing/launching a book in 2023 is on your wish list, schedule a call with me. I still have a few spots available before I close shop for the holidays, and I’m happy to help get you set up for making it happen in the new year.
