Happy New Year!

If you are like a lot of people, the New Year means there is a special feeling in the air.  It’s not just the feeling of being tired and hung over.  I mean, it’s that too.  But in addition, there is a feeling of hope.  It’s a new page, a new year, a new day full of new possibilities.  I talked a bit about why this matters here. But for some of us, it can be overwhelming too. Sure, we can start over and have a great new year.  But where do I start?  How do I get the ball rolling?  What can I do to get 2019 started off better than 2018? That challenge is real.  When I feel a bit overwhelmed, I like to try and fill my brain with good and inspirational stuff.  It often helps get me in the right mindset, so I can take action toward whatever goal I am working on.  With that in mind, I wanted to share a few pieces of content that I enjoy that might help you! Dr. Mark Powell on Delivering Marketing Joy:  I really enjoy doing Delivering Marketing Joy.  I get to talk to some amazing and smart folks.  So each episode is fun for me.  But this one is perfect for this time of year.  Dr. Powell has a new book called “Clutch” and he spends some time talking about that with me here.  I love the idea of creating “rituals” in your life to create a happier and more productive you.   My YouTube Channel:  One of my goals for 2019 is to increase the amount of value I deliver through video…and I want to increase my subscribers!  You can help me with that by clicking here and subscribing.  Oh, and here is a recent video that went sideways when we “misplaced” our drone.  Watch that here.   Akimbo Podcast:  If you know me at all, you know that I really enjoy the work of Seth Godin.  He is smart and thoughtful and he brings that to his podcast.  For me, this is “must listen” content.   So that’s a short list to get you started today.  And of course if you have some great content that I should check out, let me know!   Happy New Year everyone!  Let’s make it a great one! Make sure you never miss an update!  Sign up for our VIP newsletter here.
