Am I set for Christmas?
I got asked that yesterday, by a well-meaning coach who’s already got jingle-bells round her profile pic.
Look, I’m no Scrooge, and am actually quite looking forward to a few days less-than-full-on, but the “ready for Xmas” mindset also breeds a whole bunch of troublesome thinking:
- “December’s a slow month for business.” Well, it sure is now.
- “Nobody wants to do anything before the New Year.” Not with you, they won’t.
- “I had a record September.” Yeah, that was quite a while back, wasn’t it?
- “It’s a great time to wind down and plan for next year.” Make sure you “plan” to do some business next November and December.
- “People are spending all their money on presents.” Funny, I’ve never met anyone who did that.
The seasons ebb and flow, I get that.
In fact, round about now is actually when people are most relaxed, happy, and ready to invest into their best year ever.
Don’t miss the Christmas rush!
Love you lots
Jonny
