Hi reader,

We naturally slow down at this time of year

With the holidays of so many religions

Less time in the office

Along with the shorter days with colder nights

And this can make us uncomfortable.

Really uncomfortable.

Because we are forced to slow down enough

To actually see we’re going in the wrong direction

To see the shine of all the things left in our wake

To not confuse speed for strategy.

And to face our feelings about wanting to quit.

This is way more valuable than we often understand 🤔

Unify Your Coaching Experience to Unlock Revenue Growth

Your clients expect more than content, they expect an experience.

Join 7-figure business coach and former IBM marketing executive, Julie Ciardi, for a free workshop on how she scaled her coaching business to $3.M by prioritizing a premium client experience on Kajabi.

Julie will show how combining courses, coaching, community, and her private podcast into one branded hub creates a cohesive experience that boosts engagement, increases loyalty, and drives long-term revenue, all powered by Kajabi’s full suite.

During this time, I’ll often put things down

Take a break from social media

Pause the BringYourWorth.tv programming

Flip my routines into a new flow.

In short, I quit. A lot.

Yes, momentum can be the eighth wonder of the world

As habits can keep us going even when we doubt ourselves.

But what if the momentum is carrying us where we no longer want or should go?

Are we afraid of losing our momentum

Or are we afraid of losing our identity?

The guy that does this or the gal known for that.

The question isn’t if you should take a break to reflect.

The real question is, if you believe in your path, why are you so afraid to pause? ⏸️
