I love December. December represents so many great things. It’s the signal the old is coming to an end (and the new is just days away). December is a time to be with family and an opportunity to celebrate and relax. In the middle of all of that you had time to send articles and […]
Let’s rejoice! Rejoice and be happy!

6 steps to move your business from Winter to Summer.

The weekly wrap on The Collective
As I sit here to prepare this post I can hardly believe that it was just this past weekend we celebrated Thanksgiving. I seem to have done so much in the past week that Thanksgiving seems weeks in the past. I hope that you had a beautiful weekend with your friends and family. I did. […]
