Happy Birthday to me!
That’s right, today, the winter solstice, is my birthday. Yay….
Not only is it the shortest day of the year, it’s right before Christmas so I tend to get that one “big” gift.
As a kid, it bothered me but as an adult, I’m actually fine with my birthday being overlooked since the older I get the less I want people to recognize it.
So then why am I telling 30,000 people in a newsletter you ask?
Good question.
It’s to try and guilt you into giving me a gift that will ultimately help me help you.
If you’ve been following along, you know I went into the studio to rerecord ALL my training content and will be re-launching my Membership platform in Q1 of the New Year, along with a bunch of new free content, tools, and resources.
The platform is going to allow us to serve up different content to different profiles.
That’s why, for my birthday, I need you to take 2 minutes and answer 3 very simple questions that will help me give you better and more relevant content in the New Year.
Take SurveyThat’s it. That’s all I want for my birthday.
Other than that, I’ll be shutting things down for the rest of the year and won’t be back until January 6th.
Good luck closing out the year strong and enjoy the holidays!
