Thrive Program for Business Growth: "The Thrive program is awesome if you're in the US and you're a business that has at least 1 employee beside yourself, been in business for at least 2 years, highly recommended.

Creating a Resilient New Year: "How can we have resiliency and ease and really feel good at the end of next year 2024 about the impact you're having, so your quality of life while you're having it."

Creating an Action Plan: "But if you're on the smaller end, like most of our listeners, then what I'm really asking you to do is to have specific goals and then get time frames and completion dates on your calendar and time to you know, reverse engineer so you're working on these things so they happen in the time frames that fit your goals."
