I’m not sure about you and your town, but here, we’re in the final few days….
The kids go back to school next week.
Thank fcuk for that.
My son needs to get his arse back to some structure.
Now, he could not disagree more.
He’s not in the mood for homework, assembly, and the wearing of a shirt and tie.
His current attitude:
Lethargic
… at best.
Truth is, the same goes for too many good men, at this time of year and in this game.
The lucky few come back from the summer refreshed and revived.
Energy good.
Passion good.
Attitude good.
… Firing on all cylinders and chomping at the bit to get going.
But for the majority?
Well, in my experience, summer has been a grind…
Juggling at home with children, family and days out.
Juggling at work with the exact same shit, but for employees and customers.
And even if you do manage to get away, the reality is you’re still in the business 24/7 and carrying the load.
Refreshed and revived?
Impossible.
Jaded and overwhelmed is more like it.
A sorry state of affairs that leaves you asking:
“How long till Christmas?”
Which brings me to the point of this email today.
If you are feeling the stress from the summer…
… And starting to already think about floating into the Festive season.
Draw a line in the sand.
NOW.
Because 2023 is still up for grabs.
And I don’t know about you, but me, I ain’t done yet.
There are still three months left to push and push hard on everything you set out to do in January.
Meaning my friend, it’s time to shake off summer and saddle up.
It’s the last quarter of the game…
So let’s go.
Until next time.
Make More. Provide More. Be More.
