Tis the season… NOT to Spend?
I feel like it’s time to get past the hype and talk about what’s REALLY going on this year. I think we were all hoping things would be better by now…
Maybe you’re business isn’t where you want it. Maybe 2009 wasn’t what you planned for. Instead of enjoying the season of gift giving, you’re experiencing fear of spending… You wake up worrying about bills.
I wanted to share with you the truth – not the glossy version either. I deal with these same worries.
I’ve had a tightness in my chest this whole holiday season. My family just celebrated Hanukkah and honestly I had a hard time reveling in the joy of the season. I couldn’t really get in the gift-giving mood.
Funny thing is my business is on track and doing better than ever before! BUT, my husband just went back to work after a year off and we’re still digging out. I’ve got lots of “business investment” on my credit cards and I’ve utilized my home equity line to keep my business going. That’s a scary place to be. The stress is palpable.
I share this because I’m not a quitter and I will continue to do what it takes to do what I’m meant to do. (I always describe myself as a Weeble – they wobble but they don’t fall down.)
I’ve seen people shopping and I’ve seen the nervousness around spending. I’ve received emails from some wanting to invest in the future of their business but are afraid of putting one more thing on their credit card. I feel it too!
But you have to keep moving forward. You have to identify what’s really going to make a difference in 2010 and then you have to just go for it!
If you’re not sure what 2010 should look like (or you know but you can’t figure out how to get there) then I want to invite you do join me at my upcoming Get It Done Challenge. My job is to help you come up with a strategy so you know EXACTLY where to invest your time, energy and money – where can you get expect the very best return.
We’re getting started in January and I have some special pricing that won’t last long so visit www.getitdonechallenge.com now for the details.
