Cheers to 2024!

275: Cheers to 2024!  Every year Ceil DiGuglielmo and I sit down and chat about the prior year. We talk about the books we've read, some of the things that have happened in our lives, and how those experiences have shaped us to be the business owners that we are and that we are becoming. I am excited to, once again, invite you to listen in as Ceil and I discuss the year 2024. Topics Mentioned: Strategy    Intentionality  Planning  MIndset    Key Thoughts:  Especially as women, we spend a lot of time waiting because our job is to manage our families and our households and everything else as opposed to being happy in this moment.  Ceil DiGuglielmo    What I kept seeing is we kind of have an epidemic of we're all doing our jobs, we're working, we're satisfying the client, but we don't have a guide or a path of where we want our business to go.  Michele Williams    It's almost like we're running this race and we're handed the baton to the next person and I'm looking for that person just like everybody else, who can I hand this baton to that's going to love the industry and who's going to love people?  Michele Williams   There have been enough generous people who have the knowledge and are willing to share it, that we can pull those people up behind us. I think if there's a legacy to be had, something to look towards, is what can I leave behind that will make life easier for other people so they don't have to have those hard knocks?  Ceil DiGuglielmo  Contact Michele: Email: [email protected] Facebook: Scarlet Thread Consulting Instagram: @ScarletThreadATL Website: ScarletThreadConsulting.com LinkedIn: Michele Williams Contact Ceil: Website: The Sew Much More Podcast Website: The Curtains and Soft Furnishings Resource Library Facebook: The Sew Much More Podcast Facebook: The Curtains and Soft Furnishings Resource Library Instagram: @ceildi Instagram: @csf_resource_library Email: [email protected]  References and Resources: CFO2GO Work with Me Metrique Solutions The Designers' Inner Circle - Become a Member Today    Pricing Without Emotion course It's Okay to be The Boss by Bruce Tulgan Price Your Work with Confidence by Kitty Stein The Recipe For Empowered Leadership: 25 Ingredients For Creating Value & Empowering Others by Doug Meyer-Cuno She Thinks Big by Andrea Liebross Atomic Habits by James Clear Your Next Five Moves: Master the Art of Business Strategy by Patrick Bet-David My New 8-week Group Coaching Program Kicks Off in January!
