Starting Strong

Dear Uncommon Leaders, 

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a great week as we wind down 2024.

2025 begins in just a few short days. Are you ready?

Your Sunday Nugget

This Week's Question:

How will you start your new year?

This Week's Challenge: 

Long ago, right before opening my first restaurant, I remember getting some very wise advice from another owner. He told me how I start will have impact on how I finish, so he challenged me to start well. He advised that I put in the time, commitment and focus early on and said that if I did, the business would be better in the long run. He was right.

How we begin lays the foundation for what’s to come.

How good do you want this year to be? Do you want it to bring healthy change? Do you want it to be better than this past year? If so, start strong.

How can we do this?

▫️ By committing to new disciplines.

▫️ By being more positive.

▫️ By keeping our eyes on the important metrics; and  

▫️ By paying more attention to our relationships.

So your challenge this week --- commit to starting strong.

Let’s make 2025 uncommon!

This Week's Quote to Ponder:

“How we start impacts how we finish.”

Until next week,

LET'S GO BE UNCOMMON!
