Working Through the Holidays

You’re taking a needed break this week. It’s Thanksgiving, the family’s gathering and you promise to minimize computer work over the long weekend. Tough but doable. Enjoy the downtime. Give the family your attention – certainly they and you deserve it.

But then comes next week. It’ll be December and a short sales month. For some of you, the year’s number is a given and either way short or looking good. For others, it’s a stretch but conceivable. At the same time management must keep an eye toward 2010 and all that has to happen, change and be redirected. Time for the final push. No excuses. Remember your customers need to wrap up the year too.

So while a challenging year, ’tis the season to be thankful for all you do have and the opportunity to finish strong, be at your best and give it another go in January. Do enjoy the holidays, your family and count your blessings. Have a healthy and balanced work perspective through the holidays.
