It's dark out.

Like, I'm writing this at 11:00AM and it's still dark out. It's cold and rainy and dreary.

For some people, I know this weather makes it incredibly difficult to stay motivated. They want bright, sunny days that give them energy and positivity.

However, I actually thrive on a cozy day. I don't have be-outside-FOMO and, with a comfy blanket, a nice candle, and the right ambient music, I actually get a lot of writing done on days like these.

But what if you're one of those people who, on damp and gloomy days, has absolutely no motivation to send those emails and just wants to curl up and watch a movie?

I've got a life-hack for ya.

Use that time to catch up on one of our many courses or past event recordings in IMPACT+! Get cozy with a blanket, some tea, maybe your fuzzy slippers, and finally learn how to optimize your Google My Business listing (or something else you've been meaning to learn about).

And now, here's THE LATEST...
