Pat yourself on the back

Congratulations! You’ve made it to the end of the year.

This might not seem like a significant achievement, or you might be too tired to appreciate how big a thing it is, but let me tell you – every year you survive and thrive in small business is something that should be celebrated.

Business is hard. It requires relentless energy, passion and drive. It really does take blood, sweat and tears.

Any person that is brave enough to start their own business and try to contribute to their economy in the way that you are is a hero. Seriously.

So celebrate by doing something you enjoy. Read a book, take your partner out to dinner, drink a bottle of wine (responsibly of course).

But take time to pat yourself on the back and reflect on what truly is a great achievement.

Get it done – today!
