How are you all doing this week? I don’t mind admitting I’m bloody exhausted! Mentally, physically, emotionally. Ready to clock off, but still a mountain of things to do. How are you all doing?

Inspired by @Maria Bello talking about taking a step back to be with her daughter over Christmas ♥️ What are everyone’s plans? 🎄 Are you hosting? Or going away? Are you looking forward to it?

I’ve always had this belief that December is basically dead for selling. So normally, I just don’t release offers in December, because Christmas, because money, because everyone’s distracted and nobody has any time, blah blah blah. I’ve never really questioned it. It just felt true. Except… in the last four days I’ve signed two x high ticket 1:1 clients and completely sold out my 1:1 goal-setting days in January. Same work. Same offers. Same audience. Nothing fancy. The only difference is I didn’t automatically listen to that old story. It made me realise how sneaky limiting beliefs are.They don’t sound dramatic. They sound sensible, rational and justifiable,, like they’re helping you be “realistic”. So I’m curious, what belief might you be quietly working from right now? The kind you’ve never really challenged because it just feels like “that’s how it is”. What might it be subtly stopping you from doing? Anyway… turns out December didn’t get the memo 😅

Hey 👋. I’ve been a bit quiet this week, sorry. With being away Monday and Tuesday on a 1:1 business retreat and then playing catch up with all my client appointments it’s been bonkers! What have you been up to this week and what are your weekend plans? I know @Kay Rowlands flies of to New York today, lucky duck. I’ll be seeing @Gemma Stone for dinner tomorrow 😊 and Sunday will be Christmas wrapping day (for the ones I have bought anyway 🫣. What about you? 🎄

It’s the last Friday of November, which means two things: 1. A lot of people are about to mentally check out until January. 2. … this is exactly why you shouldn’t. Before we head into December, I want us to take a minute and look at this past month with some honesty. How did November actually go for you? Not “fine.” Not “busy.” Not the polite, flippant answer. Did you show up the way you said you would? Did you follow through on the stuff that actually matters? Did you choose the uncomfortable thing over the easy thing? Or did you coast a little because you were tired, overwhelmed, or waiting for a magical burst of motivation that never arrived? A lot of people switch off now. They start telling themselves that nothing really happens in December, that business slows down, that it’s easier to just wait for a fresh start in January. The thing that I want you to know is that if you do what everyone else does, you won’t stand out, you’ll just be average and I don’t believe any of you want to be average. December is one twelfth of your year. You either let it drift… or you use it to set yourself up so January isn’t another restart, it’s a continuation. So today’s journal prompt is this: Are you about to tap out for the year… or commit to making the last 31 days count? What needs tightening? What needs finishing? What needs starting? What would “I didn’t waste the end of the year” look like for you? Even more importantly: What version of you do you want to walk into 2026 as, because that doesn’t magically appear on January 1st. You build her now. Pop your reflections below if you want to. Let’s finish this year intentionally, not accidentally. 👏
