Planning for the Holidays & A Flying Start to the New Year

Published on: 18th November, 2019

Every year around this time, I have clients say: “I think I’m going to wind things down in November. Nobody really wants to buy anything from me in the holiday season, anyway. I might as well rest until the holidays are over and the kids go back to school.” 

This is the total opposite of the attitude I want all of you service business owners out there to have. I want you to relax over the holidays, take care of yourself, and enjoy some time off - but before you do that, I want you to make a plan!

In this week’s episode, Laura and I are talking about why the holiday season is the perfect time to reflect on the year past and lay the groundwork for the year ahead. We chat about why you shouldn’t tap out of your business in November and expect things to pick right back up in February, and share some of our favorite tips for maintaining minimum momentum in your business.

About the Podcast

Women in the Business Arena™
There is no one right way to do business, there is just a right way for YOU! And many women in business are DONE with hustle, bro-marketing culture, and business tactics that are misaligned with their values.

Instead, more women are looking to build a business that honors their passion, gifts & wisdom.

If you are ready for a DIFFERENT way to operate your business - one that brings ease, challenges the patriarchal status quo, and helps you make a difference in the world (with both your business & your bank account), then this podcast is for you!

Sonya Stattmann uses her 21 years of experience working with thousands of women in business to facilitate honest, educational & inspiring conversations with other women leaders, business owners, and experts.

She also has regular conversations with our resident mental health expert, Laura-Shook Guzman, to tackle mindset, thinking, and the patterns that sabotage women’s path to business success.

This is a DIFFERENT kind of business podcast!
