PERSONAL BOUNDARIES

The Subtle Ways You Make Other People Your Responsibility

Takeaways:

  • You give others power when you let their stress, opinions, or reactions dictate how you feel or act. That drains your energy fast.

  • Living around other people's emotions and expectations creates anxiety, comparison, and the false belief that life is happening to you instead of for you.

  • The "let them" approach removes all four. Let them be stressed. Let them think what they want. Let them react. When you stop trying to control what isn't yours, you get your focus, energy, and agency back.

BUSINESS SYSTEMS

The Part of Running A Business No One Warns You About

Most people didn't start their business to become part-time accountants. But whether you're managing invoices, expenses, or tax prep, your numbers matter.

So why are you still stuck in spreadsheet hell?

Here's how top teams are taking the stress out of small business accounting (without hiring a full-time CFO):

Best Practices to Keep Your Books in Check:

  • Automate early: Set up recurring invoices, reminders, and payment follow-ups so you're not chasing people every month.

  • Reconcile regularly: Weekly or bi-weekly reviews will save you from month-end panic.

  • Separate business & personal: For the love of all things clean and compliant, don't Venmo yourself from your biz account.

  • Stay tax-ready year-round: Track deductions and categorize expenses before April rolls around.


2 Tools That Do the Heavy Lifting

🧾 Zoho

Simple, sleek, and built for small businesses. Zoho helps you automate invoices, track expenses, and manage projects all in one place. Their real-time dashboards mean you'll always know where your money's going. Bonus: It plays nice with your CRM, payroll tools, and more.

📊 Xero

Clean interface, powerful features. Xero makes bank reconciliation almost fun (yes, really), handles multi-currency accounting, and helps you stay tax-compliant in all the boring-but-crucial ways. Oh—and your accountant will love you for using it.

You don't need a finance degree to stay on top of your books.

You just need the right tools (and a few smart habits).

CAREER VISIBILITY

A Friday Email More People Should Send

Takeaways:

  • Make your work visible and easy to trust. Send a short Friday recap with wins, risks, and next steps, walk into 1:1s with an agenda, and keep a running folder of proof for reviews and raises.

  • Think like a leader, not a task-doer. Bring solutions with problems, translate tasks into outcomes, and show how your work impacts revenue, efficiency, or risk.

  • Be low friction. Respond quickly, show up prepared, and don't create extra work for others. The people who get promoted fastest are reliable, clear, and easy to work with.

HOLIDAY CRAFTS

A Low-Lift Hanukkah Craft Worth Bookmarking

Takeaways:

  • You'll need popsicle sticks, two shades of blue yarn, and a hot glue gun.

  • Glue the popsicle sticks into two triangles, then wrap each triangle with a different color of yarn.

  • Stack and glue the triangles together to form a Star of David. Simple, festive, and done in minutes!

The 2026 Trends Smart Teams Are Already Planning For

Planning for 2026 works best when it's grounded in data.

The Birth Chart Placements That Explain How You Operate

Takeaways:

  • Your sun, moon, and rising describe your core. Your sun is your willpower and what drives you. Your moon reflects your emotional needs, safety, and nourishment. Your rising is your lens on the world, shaped by the exact moment you were born.

  • Your Venus explains how you give and receive love, what you value, and your aesthetic and personal style.

  • Your Mercury and Mars shape how you move through life. Mercury governs how you think, process, and communicate. Mars shows how you take action, assert yourself, and handle conflict.
