Hello Reader,

What are you thankful for today?

A thankful tree is a great way to decorate for Thanksgiving and an interactive activity that lasts the whole month. Over the years we have had several different thankful trees. Here’s a picture of the start of one. We usually leave it up until we put up the Christmas tree. Anyone that comes into the house in November gets asked to add a leaf to the tree. Here are 4 easy steps to make your own thankful tree.

1. Gather a base for your tree

It can be sticks, a tree branch, or even a few branches from your artificial Christmas tree. Put them in a jar or container. You might need to rubberband the base or add in some rocks for weight.

2. Get some leaves

You can order colored paper leaves, buy them at the craft store, cut them out of construction paper, or gather fresh ones in your yard. Punch holes in them and add some string for hanging. I have shared a link below.

3. Select pens

Your pen selection will be determined by what kind of leaves you choose to use. Test it out by writing what you are thankful for. I typically use a dark thin marker or a gold one. Feel free to write 2 Minutes Together or Tailor Joy! We are thankful for you, too!

4. Invite your friends and family to add a leaf to your tree

Anytime in the month of November, invite guests to add leaves to your thankful tree, not just on Thanksgiving day. It’s a conversation starter for sure!

Monthly Product Spotlight: Business Basics PLUS

How do you go from sticky notes to start up in six weeks? With accountability and a plan!

If you are serious about launching your own business and willing to put in the work, then let’s get started with this business accelerator. Business Basics Plus gets you the full business basics course plus coaching at a discounted price. Coaching calls will help you stay on track and give you the accountability you need to fast-track your business launch. Research shows you can have a much higher success rate with accountability than with just an idea on a sticky note.

When Kimmie decided to get serious about starting her coaching business, she knew she needed more than just the course, she needed weekly accountability meetings. We talked about her progress, her roadblocks, and her goals. Soon she was launching her business and coaching her first clients! The grin on her face was so big when she told me the good news! Business Basics Plus gives you more than just a plan to start a business.

What happens during a coaching call? This is YOUR time and it’s not a group call. We can discuss your course progress, your business plan, your elevator pitch, your obstacles, your business brainstorming, your action steps, and so much more. This is your opportunity to build your unique business with a coach alongside you brainstorming with you, celebrating your wins, giving practical feedback, keeping you accountable to your action steps, and helping you strategize your launch.

Think about what this will mean to your business launch! Think about where you will be in 6 weeks!
