Hello {!name_fix},

Christmas is upon us... or very nearly! Hope you're all up-to-date with your shopping. I have to say I'm feeling quite pleased as I really think I have everything covered. YAY!

This issue is all about kicking back and making the most of the holiday season, relaxing, taking time out from your business and spending fun time with those you love... and also preparing for the exciting New Year ahead. Not only for your business but for your body, too! My friend and colleague Neil Dougan has a very special offer for you, which has to be seen to be believed, and I'm also including some wise words from one of my longest standing colleagues and mentors, Ali-cia Forest.

Remember to take action, and set yourself up now by laying out your goals, desires and dreams, and discover how you are going to achieve them, by making a plan that you can easily implement... it would be my honour to help you with this, whilst also learning how you can make a real difference in the world.

For now, I would like to remind you that you have the opportunity of a free 30-minute consultation with me to discuss where you are in your life, what problems you may be facing and discover what your solutions are. Please remember to click on my Skype link or email me (susie@susiebriscoe.com) to schedule a time.

Let me know your thoughts, but for now, sit back, favourite mug of hot drink in hand, and settle down for a comfortable chat with a friend.

Loving hugs,

Take It Easy And Enjoy Life
by Susie Briscoe

Can you remember your childhood days? During those times, nothing yet seemed complicated—all we had to think about were crayons, cookies, or Santa Claus. We didn't care about the things we didn't know, because we were just too oblivious of the things that might bother us.

But as we grow older, we get anxious with the things that surround us—life and death, loving and parting, success and failure, to name a few. We find that almost every day, we are obliged to be concerned about people or events.

Nevertheless, always keep this in mind: Don't take things as if they are responsible for the way you feel. Events or situations do not trouble you. How you look at them does.

If you miss those carefree days, you just have to look back at how you used to view things then, and you will know what to do now. Here's a guide to make sure you won't lose your way:

Cherish the simple things. Trust in the power of a smile or laughter, a kiss or a hug. Believe in kindness, honesty, dreams, and imagination. Living positively is the first step to becoming happy.

Loosen up. Laugh at your mistakes. You might remember the time when you were delivering your speech, and your mind went completely blank right in the middle of delivering it. It's embarrassing. But most likely, your audience will forget about it in a day or two. We all mess up occasionally. The good thing is that people tend to forget such situations.

Surround yourself with what you love. Get a pet. Retain film moments as keepsakes. Keep away from those that drag you down. If that high-paying job makes you sulk at the thought of having to go to work, find a job you like first before quitting. If some people force you to comply even if you think of doing otherwise, stay away from their company.

Don't put off. Go on that trip. Take your Master's. You'll never know the extent of your life. Do something, while you can.

Don't push yourself too hard trying to please everyone. You just can't. And it never seems to be worth it anyway. When you want to make somebody's day, start with your loved ones.

Keep fit. Be that attractive person you always picture yourself to be. Cherish your health. It's the best way of showing you are putting your best face forward.

Do not assume. Don't fret about forgetting your speech before you actually do it. Don't worry about not getting the job you want, because you might mess up at the interview. It's good to expect the worst; but don't end up expecting only the worst.

Alter your way of thinking. When you're being ridiculed, criticized about your family background, or condemned for past mistakes, put on deaf ears. Don't believe everything you hear. You know yourself better than everybody else does. Never wallow in self-pity.

Remember: Don't get upset over things just because it's how most people would react when faced with the same situation. When you find yourself being negative—angry, down, jealous, etc.—you also unknowingly drain your energy and enthusiasm. You just have to try keeping these negative feelings in the low, because giving in to these emotions would sometimes make you unreasonable, and you might end up making bad decisions. Happiness is always in your grasp. You can attain it, as long as you know how.

Please don't hesitate to email or Skype me if you'd like to explore this issue further but for now remember...

'Tis the season of Peace and Goodwill to all Men.

This is where I share my best mentors & resources with you; please take the time to look at each of these suggestions, as I personally find them all to be extremely helpful in my business life...

My good friend and colleague Neil Dougan, The Immortality Coach, is based in Perth, Western Australia—like me, he has clients all around the world—and I can highly recommend him, as he has been helping me with my own health issues recently using his powerful Consciousness Medicine technique. Neil has been telling me about a new programme he intends to launch in the New Year, which is focusing on just one aspect of his practice: healthy lifestyle eating and keeping fit.

As a special treat for you, he has agreed to show this programme, just prior to the launch whilst it's in its beta stage. The two links below will give you all the information about it together with its pre-launch early bird price.

Given that it's the festive season, and we are all partying and celebrating hard, I highly recommend you take a look at his Trim © programme.

This is the message from Neil:

"After two years of intensive development, I am so excited to be able to offer to you today the full Trim 18-week programme. Act quickly to pick up this 18-week integrated programme that will literally change your life on so many levels.

Launch video is here.
Access to TRIM is here.

Entry pricing will not last, so Act Now. I look forward to seeing you in the members area."

Holiday Lull: 5 Ways To Use It To Your Advantage
by Alicia Forest, MBA, The Business Shifter™

You may be too busy during the holiday season to notice if your business is slowing down a bit, but in case you're not, there are several things you can do to use this time to your advantage as you head into the new year.

1. Review Your Website
Take some time to review your website and make any necessary updates by removing old information and freshening up the rest of your copy. If you have a photo of yourself on your site, consider putting up a new one if your current one is out of date.

And here's a tip for getting more people to sign up for your Free Taste: post a squeeze page over your site AND place your opt-in box in the upper right-hand corner on all your inside pages—this combination has been tested to be the most effective.

2. Update Your Ezine Or Other Free Taste
Review your ezine and any free tastes you have and decide if they could use some updating as well. And here's another tip: take yourself through your opt-in process to see if it needs any tweaks too.

3. Have A Holiday Sale
If you want to create some cash, consider holding a sale on one, some or all of your products. Everyone's looking for a break at the holidays, and there most likely are people on your list who have thought about buying one or more of your products or investing in your services, and a discount might just push them to finally doing so.

4. Clean Out The Clutter
One of the "powers of the Universe" principles I believe in is making space for things to come into my life. So every few months, I get a huge urge to purge (I'm in it now, actually). I go through my desk, filing cabinets, and bookshelves and either toss, give away or organize it. I also make new file folders for the clients yet to come... and it's always fun to watch them fill up over the next few months.

5. Plan Your First Offering For The New Year And Start Promoting It Now
Decide what your first offering for the new year is going to be, and start promoting it in your ezine, discussion lists (when appropriate), social media, and through your other marketing channels. Having something already set up to look forward to will help keep you motivated after the hub-bub of the holidays.

And one more thing—don't forget to enjoy yourself. As entrepreneurs, sometimes we find it hard to take a break, but do yourself, your loved ones, and your business a favor by taking some time away from your work and truly focusing on the people you love and the blessings in your life.

Susie has identified 'Leading Legacy' work as a major part of her passion.

She has successful experience of working with all ages, from teenagers in their senior year at school or technical colleges approaching University and other life choices to those either retired or approaching retirement who recognise there is still music yet to be played within them.
