Dear Reader,

Are you set for the Holidays? I’ve been sending out the weekly newsletter for a year now. I’m adding more structure to the newsletter so everything I do is cohesive. Last week I wrote about having the four pillars of content and that will be evident here. I want you to have the best experience as well as take your business or career to the next level.
​

Let’s continue with the reading challenge to learn the skills the World Economic Forum says you need to thrive in 2025.

Book I’m Reading This Week

​

I’ve been reading a lot of mysteries and that’s an excellent way to hone your problem solving skills. I have several books in queue to read during the holidays. Here are a few books I can’t wait to read. They’re from the Love-Based series. I don’t know what to expect. But someone who wrote one of the books in the series recommended that I read hers. She’s been supportive of me, so I wanted to support her.

1. Love-Based Feminine Marketing, Julie Foucht
2. Love-Based Copywriting Method, Michele Pariza Wacek
3. Love-Based Copywriting System, Michele Pariza Wacek
4. Love-Based Goals, Michele Pariza Wacek
