KEY TAKE AWAYS
Christmas is a funny time
In the tutoring game everything is disrupted, your students might be away, and other things might shut down.
You can embrace it in by responding in either a positive or negative way. A positive response recognises it’s an opportunity to step back, review and reflect.
Make the most of the festive holiday
Catch up with friends that you might have neglected, it can be easy to lose contact with people if you don’t make the effort.
Take care of maintenance jobs such as decorating cleaning and re-organising. Complete those jobs that can be challenging to undertake with students about.
Take the opportunity to get away from your desk and think
Plan some time to think about the direction you want your business to go in. stepping away provides invaluable perspective
Look to the future
What do you want to achieve? How much do you want to earn?
Create a road map and time line, planning your journey to achieve what you want. Often, the best ideas come when you are not at work – you can create a safe space for them to land when away from your desk.
Go somewhere beautiful and special and get inspired
BEST MOMENTS
“I kind of treat every day above ground as a special day, so I have 364 more special days than the folks who save their special day status up for December 25th.”
“That’s how I got the idea to get outdoors and get away from my desk.”
“Go somewhere beautiful/elegant/special and get inspired”
“For years I’ve spent Christmas morning either mountain biking, hiking, or climbing.”
“Universe reminding me that time is passing”
