I think I can speak for all of us when I say that 2020 has been unlike anything we’ve ever seen or felt. It’s impacted all of us, interweaving our work lives and our personal lives like never before.
In the process, we question every decision and step along the way. But, isn’t that the life of a diligent business owner? While everyone tries to make sense of this unbelievable year, we must plunge ahead as small business leaders.
With that being said, the holidays are right around the corner, and as we turn the page to 2021, this is the time we need to pause and reflect in order to come back revitalized and ready to grow our businesses.
First up is Thanksgiving. There’s no doubt that Thanksgiving is a time to be with our families, enjoy a feast and watch our favorite holiday movies. But, to me, the real meaning of the holiday is thinking about those people, and things, that we are most thankful for.
Here is what I am most thankful for – some of which has been a result of this unforeseen impact of 2020.
You (My Clients). SBS Accounting & Advisors would not be where it is today without your unwavering support and loyalty. From starting out more than a decade ago, to showing how much you care on social media, to accepting our big name change and website reveal, you’ve been there every step of the way.
I am so grateful, humbled, and thankful for you. Our goal is to always place you first, striving to not only bring you great customer service, but also powerful solutions to your everyday needs to take you and your business to the next level. More than anything, we want you to be happy, healthy and successful.
My Family. While the pandemic has changed how and where I work, it’s also brought me even closer to my family. As you may know, I am blessed to have four kids and an amazing wife – all of whom bring me such joy and completion to my life.
This year has certainly tested everyone’s work/life balance, but there’s not anybody I’d rather spend time with more than my family. We may not be able to do all the things we used to, but just spending time together is a gift and a blessing. These are the type of moments that inspire me to work harder for our clients to make all of our lives better.
Essential Workers. As we all deal with the new normal, many brave, courageous doctors and nurses are on the frontline, trying to save lives and work on, and test, a vaccine solution. I am so thankful for their devotion to helping others and working to restore our country.
My Faith. Without Jesus Christ, I don’t know where I would be in my personal, family and business life. I am so thankful to Him and His sacrifice on the cross for my sins. I am thankful for the strength and wisdom He gives me every day and the assurance that one day I will be with Him for all eternity.
