Holiday Thoughts
By Tyler Hoelting, Affiliate Manager
CPA Empire
As the year comes to an end, many of us will gather with family and friends for celebration. A time for parties, surprises, memories and reflection. Whether you will be spending the holiday season with distant relatives in Nantucket or plan on proposing to your (hopefully) future wife on New Year’s Eve in the Big Apple, we can all get into the holiday spirit.
However you plan on commemorating this holiday season I think we all need to celebrate the creativity and determination that resides within each of us. We work in an industry that embraces imagination and vision. We perform at a higher level and return more value than many other industries. We also tend to work longer hours – the Internet is open 24/7, after all.
As a reward for all that hard work, I think we should all take a moment to enjoy the company of our loved ones and also reflect on things this holiday season. Take a break from the PC and watch a DVD. Drink an Eggnog instead of the Redbull. Read a good book instead of a blog. Above all, take a little time and actually relax.
Taking a moment to reflect can often help you see the big picture more clearly and may just give you a new perspective. Remember, we are an industry built on fresh ideas and inspiration. Taking a step away from the everyday can help you come up with something innovative.
Once you get back into the groove, start working on those new ideas. Set goals and plan how you will accomplish them. You just might find that taking a step back will let you jump two steps forward in your business.
My toast to you this holiday season is that I will do the same. I look forward to seeing you at the top in 2008!

Hey Tyler,
