Final chance to lend your voice!

Last call! Here's your final chance to share your thoughts around what you'd like to see from us in the new year. We want to understand what business challenges you're facing and how we can help you to be successful. Resources, AMAs, and future offerings are largely based on the feedback we get from you! Thanks to those folks who have already completed the survey.

Please take five minutes to consider: What might we offer that would be relevant, helpful, and meaningful for you as a current or aspiring entrepreneur? What do you want more of or less of based on what we've shared so far?

Guide to End-of-Year Business Reflections

It is easy to get caught up in the day to day grind of running a business. And, this time of year especially, it's important to slow down in order to speed up - to set aside some time to reflect. Some of you may find reflecting to be a natural experience, while others may find this to be a bit of a challenge - and that's okay!

To help with the process, read our latest blog post - where we've outlined a few key questions to kickstart your reflective practice. Rather than just keep-on-keeping-on, we invite you to pause with us and thoughtfully consider how you want to navigate your business and entrepreneur life in 2026 based on reflections from this year.

This week, we are both getting our end-of-year "ducks in a row" business-wise. Here's what you may consider doing to close out your year:

Determine any final business purchases. In our last newsletter, Abby named several things that she loves using for her work. You may also find some sales going on for products or services that you may be interested in for your business. Additionally, it never hurts to briefly check in with your accountant about what final business expenses are tax-deductible.

Review your subscriptions and memberships. So many things are not a "one-time" purchase these days and you may find yourself accidentally saddled with recurring charges for things you no longer use! Take a look at your recurring payments. Determine which memberships and subscriptions you want to continue to use and which ones you are ready to cancel.

Tie up loose ends. Send out final invoices (or reminders if you have invoices that are past due). Pay any remaining bills you have. Close out your P&L (profit and loss ledger). Review and organize your client list (potential clients, active clients, or folks who are inactive). Solidify your January availability and invite clients to schedule their next month's sessions. Rollup remaining client notes. Clean out your inbox. Tidy your office.

Schedule some down time. If you haven't already, block off time in your calendar this month (and possibly throughout 2026) to give yourself space for reflection, enjoying the holidays, and rest. December often adds its own additional chaos, so providing a little bit of extra buffer time is crucial.
