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:
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
