Ah, December. The grand finale of the year, draped in twinkling lights, snow (or Florida rain, depending), and the bittersweet promise of a fresh start. Kahlil Gibran added a sprinkle of wisdom with “Kindness is like snow—it beautifies everything it covers.”
So, dear entrepreneurs and business owners, let’s wrap up the year with a dash of whimsy, a splash of snow-like kindness, and a whole lot of entrepreneurial absurdity. Because why not? Here’s your three-point self-help guide to Decembering like a boss (with emojis to keep it spicy):
1. Host a Snowball Fight—With Your Fears. A Self-Help Guide ❄️👊
December is the perfect time to reflect on the year's ups, downs, and "what-was-I-thinking" moments. But instead of a dull brainstorming session, why not throw a metaphorical snowball fight with your fears?
How to Play:
Write down your business fears (e.g., What if my marketing campaign flops? What if I can’t scale next year?) on crumpled pieces of paper.
Literally toss them across the room, aiming for a trash can—or a friend who’s up for a laugh.
Shout, “You have no power over me!” with the gusto of a fantasy hero vanquishing a dragon.
When the dust (or snow) settles, you’ll feel lighter, more focused, and ready to tackle 2024 like the entrepreneurial ninja you are.
2. Bake Kindness Cookies—With a Secret Sauce of Connection 🍪💌
Kahlil Gibran reminded us that kindness makes everything better, so why not turn it into a December business strategy? This month, whip up “Kindness Cookies” for your clients, team, or even your competitors. (Yes, competitors. Go big or go home!)
Recipe for Entrepreneurial Kindness:
1 cup of heartfelt “thank you” notes 📝
A sprinkle of surprise discounts or bonuses 💸
A drizzle of holiday cheer (use emojis liberally!) 🎄✨
Optional: Include actual cookies because, well, cookies 🍪.
Share these goodies on social media, via email, or in person. Not only will it make someone’s day, but it might also snowball (see what I did there?) into stronger connections and unexpected opportunities.
3. Build a Dream Snow Fort for 2024 Goals 🏰🎯
Why settle for a boring vision board when you can construct a mental (or literal) snow fort for your big dreams? Gather your wildest, most outrageous goals and give them a cozy home in your imagination.
Snow Fort Features to Include:
“Idea Igloo”: Where you store your out-of-the-box business concepts.
“Revenue Runway”: A path leading directly to your financial goals.
“Team Lounge”: Where your dream team gathers to brainstorm and sip hot cocoa.
Pro tip: Make this fun and ridiculous. Use pillows, blankets, or even LEGOs to construct your fort IRL. Share a photo with your team (or Instagram!) and declare it your official HQ for manifesting greatness in the coming year.
December doesn’t have to be all work and no play for entrepreneurs. Embrace the kindness of Gibran, the reflection of Hudson, and a hefty dose of silliness to end the year with a smile. As you close out 2023, remember: A little whimsy goes a long way, and a lot of kindness can transform not just your business but your world. 🌟
Now go forth and December like the entrepreneurial snow queen or king you are! 👑❄️
