It’s the long Christmas weekend here in the UK and those people who are not insane enough to be out battling through the sales are going a little stir crazy.
I love this time of year because it’s a pause between all the noise and festivities and a chance to reflect on what lies behind and ahead.
In case you’re doing that, here are some resources to help do that more effectively as well as some outright fabulous freebies just to make you feel good!
First up is this podcast with John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneur on Fire fame. He’s got a book coming out on achieving your goals in just 100 days.
