Are You Ready For The Holidays?

A blog post by HBW Founder, Lora Newman

· HBW Special Event,Entrepreneurship

The holidays are here and so is the turn of the year!

It’s all too easy to turn focus on the festivities, the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, leaving your business in the dust. If that happens, when the New Year rolls around you may hear crickets. Make this year different! Choose to create momentum and productivity rolling into 2019.

HOW, you may ask?

1. Calendar time NOW for planning things like a public demo in January.

2. Get out and network to meet new referral partners. The holidays are a prime season to meet new referral partners. So many people out and about!

3. What activities need to happen to build momentum rolling into 2019? (i.e. marketing, follow up calls, trainings, etc.)

These are just a few suggestions to get your wheels turning. You can create whatever you want to create in the coming year.

Years ago, I used to tell myself that no one was interested in my services during the holidays because they were too busy. Then it hit me one day - “This is a false belief!”

I decided to make December a GREAT month and guess what...it is now among my highest months of the year. What do you want to create...NOW?

If you feel ready to do something great and different - check out the upcoming tele-class:

This 4 part class will guide you through planning and producing a productive public demo with the horse, as well as teach you how to profitably network during this busy season. It begins November 15th so don’t hesitate! You also get a BONUS Business Breakthrough Session!
