It’s that time of year when we as business owners start looking over things and begin to worry about what’s coming next. Do I have enough clients? Am I going to be able to pay my bills? Am I going to be able to pay off my business debt and personal debt? All the things! It’s very easy to go into desperation mode and beat yourself up. Instead of making decisions out of desperation, leaders allow themselves to gather data, interpret the data, and translate the data into new actions toward their goals. Let’s talk about how you can move from being desperate to deliberate as you begin to do your year-end evaluation and start prepping for 2024.

🔑 Worry is hoping for things you don't really want.

🔑 Live in a world of deliberation. Be deliberate about your actions, your time, and the words you use, because what you put out comes back.

🔑 Desperation is debilitating. It excludes evidence and tells you that everything that you're thinking, seeing, and feeling is true.

Think about how you’re going to take these last few days of the year and move with deliberation, and expectation. You have to claim exactly everything that you desire and that you want over your family, life, business, and company. What are you calling in so that there is no room for the stuff that you want to push away?

Make a list and then call in all of those things for yourself and others in 2024.
