Never underestimate small allies. A seemingly insignificant friend can become incredibly helpful when you least expect it, offering crucial support in times of need.

Personal Update
This is the last newsletter of the year. I don’t think I talk about it often, but making this newsletter was a real struggle for me, but not for the reason you might expect. I have difficulties discussing what I am doing, and this newsletter forced me to start discussing it more consistently. That was the biggest struggle, and at the beginning of this newsletter, this specific difficulty spilled over into being less consistent with doing it or phoning it in when I did publish it on an irregular basis. But, as I often tell my clients, the struggle you experience as a beginner in something new will become exponentially more manageable as you consistently practice it. This is what this newsletter has helped me to do. While this personal section is not a journal, I think I use it as a “journal lite.” It is not deeply personal stuff but a relatable broadcast of things I believe most of us have going on.
The holiday season is almost over, and this year, we wanted to create some core memories with the family. This meant taking time away, closing the laptop, and disconnecting from the business for a little bit. I enjoyed it.
