D.I.Y. Rock Star Rewind: We’ve never been here before… 🍂 (November 2024)

We’ve never been here before… 🍂

As you probably already know, there’s been a lot going on this whole year—where we’re trying to rebound from Bruce’s BIG, scary health crisis. —Yes, we are slowly moving in the right direction, but it is helping realize that we need to get our BIG priorities in order, so that we can BETTER direct our attention to the things we care about, but also that we have capacity for at this time.

Get your creative vision organized and track your goals for the upcoming year.

Use the Be the NEXT D.I.Y. Rock Star 2025 Planner.

—And BETTER yet, it’s on sale RIGHT NOW!

Holiday Time Out ⏰

So, we’re going to take time out for the holidays. We are going to visit family and refresh our vision board (https://bit.ly/rockstarvision ). We’re NEEDING to take a break to figure out how best to move forward. However, we are also planning for next year. And we suggest you do the same. —We KNOW it sounds corny, but this holiday “down-time” is the PERFECT time to recalibrate what you want, what you need, and to figure out your MAIN objectives for the coming year.
