A Scary Merry Christmas | Christmas is scary. In the weeks leading up to 25th I find myself a little on edge. Can I finish up all my work before shutting down for the holidays? With all the presents and travel, how big a hit am I going to take financially? I’m also pestered by fears about the new year. Will my kids be OK? Will the economy nosedive? Will the presidential election tear the country apart? Ronnie Martin knows how I feel. “The looming new year can be anxiety-inducing” he admits. To calm his fears (and yours) he suggests doing three things over the holidays. Read about them here: Have Yourself a (Less) Scary Little Christmas. Speaking of the new year, instead of indulging fears, it’s better to pray. And plan. Our resource on Strategic Planning will help you understand the importance and benefits of planning for the long haul. |
