In this uplifting New Year’s episode of "It's the Bottom Line That Matters," Jennifer Glass, Daniel McCraine, and Patricia Reszetylo engage in a thoughtful conversation about closing out 2025 and making the most of the opportunities that 2026 brings. Together, they encourage listeners to view the turning of the calendar as 365 new pages for both personal and professional growth. Jennifer Glass shares her mission to support 10 million businesses by 2040, highlighting the critical role small businesses play in job creation and the broader economy, while also discussing her ongoing philanthropic work with nonprofits like St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
Each of the hosts contribute their own perspectives, with Daniel McCraine excited about business expansion and upcoming family travels, and Patricia Reszetylo focused on launching a real estate project and navigating the challenges of fundraising. The group discusses the value of setting more frequent, manageable goals—such as monthly targets—instead of relying solely on annual resolutions. As part of "Good Riddance Day," each speaker also shares what they’re letting go of as the year wraps up: whether it’s tedious work, unhelpful habits, or the pervasive negativity from election cycles. The episode closes with well wishes for a prosperous 2026 and a reminder to approach the new year with optimism, strategic planning, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact in both business and the wider community.KEYWORDS: holidays, success, goals, annual goals, monthly goals, goal setting, strategic planning, business expansion, travel, high school graduations, family reunion, vacation, real estate project, fundraising, small business growth, mission, nonprofit organizations, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, supporting children, making a difference, small business community, job creation, good riddance day, chopping block, deadlines, working strategically, planning, negativity, election cycles, primary ads, loyal listeners
