It's time to finish this year strong and on the road to making 2014 your best year ever. (iStockphoto)
I was thinking about writing an extension of something I wrote last year about pie and the holidays. Then I got an email with a headline that took me a bit by surprise…
2014 is 60 workdays away.
If you’re not a business owner, I’m sure you have deadlines and goals you want to meet by the end of the year. If you are a business owner, you definitely have goals you want and need to meet by the end of the fourth quarter.
My previously declared love for pie aside, this is definitely my favorite time of year. Personally, I love spending time with my loved ones and doing my part for the local economy by spending more on gifts than I probably should. Professionally, there’s a buzz in the air — the perfect balance of nervousness and excitement that makes me grin when I sit down at my desk every morning. Can you feel it?
How are you going to end 2013? You’ve spent all year cultivating a client base and growing your business. Have you kept them updated on all the goings on in your company? Have you paused to say “Thank you” for their continued patronage? Have you sufficiently set yourself up to not only finish strong this quarter, but start next year with a bang?
You now have less than 60 workdays to make that final push. To not only hit those goals, but blast through them. To set up 2014 as the Best Year Ever. We will be with you every step of the way. Helping you forge new relationships as you reaffirm old ones, and helping you keep your clients informed of what you have to offer.
On December 31st, after it’s all said and done and before the diet starts the next day, grab a piece of leftover pie from the fridge. Toast yourself with a bite of baked goodness and know I’m right there with you. Especially if it’s pumpkin.
