What's your one-word theme for November?

Don't know if I'm doing this correct or not, but my one-word theme for November 2017 is: "Entrepreneurship"

I run 2 Businesses, starting up the 3rd one, and now would like to educate myself and work as a Bookkeeper for myself and others. My father was a CPA and taught me how to reconcile bank accounts at age 10. I do my own taxes without the help of H & R Block. I'm Autistic and have Asperger's Syndrome which helps me out because my gift is math. So I'm here for education and knowledge. Wisdom and discernment will follow.

Welcome to QB Community @194808,

That's a perfect one-word theme and congratulations on starting your third business! What steps do you need to take to get your new business off the ground? We are all here to help and support you during this process! How can we help you?  

My word....PROGRESS

I am the owner of Reality Check Screening and celebrated my 11th year in business back in July.  2016 marked a stellar year for my company, but due to several circumstances, 2017 has seen a marked decline.  At the beginning, I was "wallowing" in the misery of bad business.  I have since picked myself up, made a plan and am being very proactive about marketing and we are making PROGRESS!  (In the past, I've not had to market very aggressively as most of my new clients came from referrals).

@rhondajceo - I am so inspired by your ability to pick yourself up and keep going, and I am thrilled to hear you're making progress! Small business owners are so amazing for many reasons, but one reason that stands out to me is their ability to self-motivate and utilize every possible resource required to succeed. We're cheering for you!

What has been the most successful marketing tool for your business's comeback? 

Daylight-Savings. In November, I always look forward to an extra hour of sleep on Sunday before the start of another productive week. I've even been known to forget the date so I am pleasantly surprised!

@Hayaibookusu YES! I love that, too. I've been dreaming about Sunday all week. Since we gain an hour, that extra hour makes sleeping in feel more productive! :smileyvery-happy:
