Change: No one likes it, but it is inevitable.
It’s the beginning of a new year and with it will come change. There are many portrayals of life in the holiday movies we saw over the past two months. Whether it was “It’s a Wonderful Life”, “The Holiday”, “Miracle of 34th Street”, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” or “Home Alone”, everyone faced some type of change that led them to a better place. For all of us small business owners, there are two words…
Prepare & Adapt!
Here are just a few of the things that have either helped you prepare or adapt over the last two years:
186 hours of Training Offered, 28 Blogs from Kim Marie, 32 Member Profiles and 28 Chapter Profiles in Communicare, 31 Business Networking Articles on LeTip.com, 262 Facebook posts to share, 2,662 new members who joined, 90 new Silver badge members and 22 new Gold Badge members who helped your chapter grow, 125 New Chapter Presidents leading, 90,091 Outside tips passed in Wired to expand your customer base, and 14,227 guest invited to your chapters.
In this month’s Member Spotlight, Joy Huntsman helps you think through how to change from New Years’ Resolutions to creating powerful Intentions to help you prepare and adapt to the changes that are inevitable in 2023.
We thank you for all you have done for us and for all your chapter members in 2022 (and for those longer time members, all that you have done dating back to 1981). Share the pride that we have in you with each other in this New Year and we will all benefit from doing things the LeTip way
Give, Get, Grow… Repeat!
Here is a sampling from our end of year survey that you participated in.
If you could send one member of your LeTip chapter a “thank you” who would it be and why?
