The holiday season provides an opportunity for introspection. It is a time to evaluate the choices we have made and to envision a brighter future. We must question our motivations and ensure that our deals are not driven solely by external forces or societal expectations. Instead, they should be in harmony with our authentic selves and the lives we genuinely want to create.

Building a business or making investments should not be solely for the sake of growth or validation. It should be a means to craft the life we desire. I recall a theme from my EO forum years ago that focused on the "ideal life now." It's a powerful concept that reminds us to seize the present moment and make the most of it.

Tomorrow is uncertain, and we owe it to ourselves to live our ideal lives today. As we reflect on the past year and prepare for the new one, let us consider how we can have more of our ideal lives now. Deals can play a significant role in this pursuit. They can be the catalysts for growth, fulfillment, and alignment with our vision and values. By embracing deals that resonate with our deepest desires, we can create a life that is truly meaningful and purposeful.

Happy holidays and may the new year bring you closer to the freedom and prosperity that your deal quest holds.
