Reflect, Learn & Prosper

Reflect, Learn, and Prosper: A Year-End Message from Helen DeVries

Dear Entrepreneurs and Friends,

As we approach the end of another remarkable year, it's time to reflect on the journey you've undertaken, the challenges you've conquered, and the victories you've celebrated. This newsletter is dedicated to you—the resilient, visionary entrepreneurs who continuously strive to build and grow businesses.

Track and Analyze Your Finances

As you glance back at your income and expenses for 2023, it's essential to assess the financial health of your business. Identify the highs and lows, places where you did really well, and the areas of improvement. This is how we grow in personal development and in our businesses. Our businesses are an overflow into a personal life. How act in business is typically how we are in our personal lives. 

Celebrating our Wins an recognizing our losses

Every success story has setbacks and lessons. Take a moment to celebrate the achievements, both big and small, that have fueled your business's progress and how you have grown as a person with unique gifts and abilities. Simultaneously, recognize the stumbling blocks you encountered. It's not about dwelling on failures but about gleaning insights from them. Understanding the roots of challenges will empower you to fortify your business strategy in the coming year.

Financial Wisdom

Let's be honest; mistakes happen. Whether it's overspending, underestimating costs, or missing out on potential revenue streams, these experiences contribute to the entrepreneurial learning curve. As you review your financial journey, identify recurring patterns in both successes and mistakes. Establishing financial wisdom involves learning from the past and applying those lessons to create a more robust financial foundation for the future.

Paying Yourself First

Amidst the hustle of managing a business, entrepreneurs often overlook one crucial aspect—themselves. Congratulations to those who have taken strides in paying themselves what they deserve. make it a priority to ensure your hard work is reflected in your paycheck. Have a sales goal and your take home salary goal per month to win for the year. Increase your salary from last year by 30%. We need to do that with inflation and keep taking care of our families and ourselves. 

Mapping Out 2024: A Blueprint for Success

December is not just the end of a chapter; it's the perfect time to start planning and writing the blueprint for the next one. As you wind down for the holidays, set aside some time to map out your vision for 2024. What are your business goals? How can you increase your revenue streams? It may be raising prices and doing less. Spending more time with your family and living your Rich Life. Whatever that may look like to you. It is different for all of us. I believe in you, and I promise you that you can track your money and increase profits exactly where you are financially. 

You're Doing Amazing

I am so Proud of you and the accomplishments you have made in 2023. It has not been an easy year for many of us. For some, it has been a terrific year. Whether you've expanded your customer base, optimizing your operations, or simply survived the challenges thrown your way, every step forward is an achievement. You're not just building a business; you're shaping your life for you and your family.

In closing, remember that entrepreneurship is a journey, not a destination. As you reflect on the past and prepare for the future, know that your part of a vibrant community of innovators and risk-takers. Your dedication is inspiring, your resilience is commendable, and your journey is uniquely yours.
