If you are, buckle in. 

We are about to jump into another episode with Heather Lahtinen. And today we are talking all about keeping momentum going in your business … even when you've decided to take time off. 

I mean, come on. It's the holidays. We all want a little extra time to spend in our flannel jammies, egg nog in one hand, remote in the other while we're surfing Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel, am I right? 

Heather and I discuss Breakthrough Training, which is a part of the Elevate program at Flourish Academy. 

And here's the best part. We're going to do Breakthrough Training together on the last Podcast Party of the year.
 

That's right. All the stuff we talk about in this episode, we're going to workshop with you on Thursday, December 15.

You must be a member of the free Hair of the Dog community to join in. If you are, go find the post under Upcoming Events. If you aren't … well, why the heck aren't you? Go sign up at hairofthedogacademy.com/community. 

But first, dive into this episode and get a high-level overview of the momentum training you'll be getting.
