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. It's an awesome accelerator program, particularly focused on those who don't have formal business training like an MBA." — Paul Zelizer 00:01:52 00:02:13

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." — Paul Zelizer 00:04:23 00:04:37

The Power of Choice: "A choice point is a moment in time When you choose behavior that is either gonna be consistent with your values or inconsistent with your values." — Paul Zelizer 00:05:00 00:05:11

"Strategies for Creating Resiliency, Increasing Impact, and Profits: 'When we take time for reflection and setting intentions based on our values, we're more likely to see the kind of outcomes we want, so thus, this episode.'" — Paul Zelizer 00:07:17 00:07:21

Successes and Improvements: "And then likewise, can you acknowledge your successes? What went well? What can you improve upon and build upon?" Quote: "At the end of the hour, they felt really complete in many ways, at least on the idea level, they were gonna flush them out a little bit more, but they were surprised how easy it was." — Paul Zelizer 00:11:05 00:11:13

Setting Clear Goals and Priorities: "The 2nd suggestion I have is to set clear goals and priorities, but to really let that reflection process lead. So if you paid attention, if you made some space, like I said, even an hour, or in my case, like, I like to go into the mountains or go to the woods and go for a walk. But it's a not how many miles can I do kind of walk, but more reflective walk where I'm asking and inquiring about these questions of what worked well, where am I being drawn to, like, let's do a little more here, or what kind of tweaks, or where might I wanna, like, prune just like you do in the garden?" — Paul Zelizer 00:12:05 00:12:49

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." — Paul Zelizer 00:16:48 00:17:09

"Finding values aligned partnerships, and then helping to cultivate them through time." — Paul Zelizer 00:19:40 00:19:48

Investing in Self Care and Team Well-being: "Lastly, but it's not last, is invest in self care and your team well-being. So it is a really challenging time in the world... it's really important for us to take care of ourselves. And as you're going into a new year, it's, I think, a really opportune time to take stock. What are you doing in the realm of your own wellness and also for your team..." — Paul Zelizer 00:22:36 00:22:51

"Harnessing the Energy of December: Purposeful growth and positive change come from this inner work that is supported and we're invited to do in so many traditions." — Paul Zelizer 00:24:44 00:24:52
