Travel Adventures
New Orleans: Taylor Swift Concert
Our travel adventures began in October with a magical trip to New Orleans for the Taylor Swift concert. This concert marked one of the final stops on her Eras Tour, and it truly lived up to the hype. The Superdome was alive with excitement, offering a range of food options that made the venue feel like a diverse airport terminal. Taylor’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, with the energy in the arena rivaling that of a Broadway production. We were even treated to a surprise guest appearance by Sabrina Carpenter, making the experience even more unforgettable.
Venue: The Superdome’s diverse food offerings made it feel like a mini-city of its own.
Performance: Taylor’s concert was a spectacle worthy of modern pop royalty.
Miami: Business Retreat
After New Orleans, we traveled to Miami for an inspiring business retreat—a pivotal moment for our company after not connecting with other industry leaders for seven years. The retreat offered us a chance to meet fellow business owners, share experiences, and learn from some of the most innovative minds in our field.
Networking: Connecting with industry leaders sparked new ideas and opportunities.
Teaching: We had the privilege of teaching sessions, sharing our journey with others.
Community: The retreat highlighted the importance of being part of a supportive business community.
New York City: Christmas Getaway
Jenna’s Christmas getaway to New York City added another layer of excitement to our travel adventures. A trip to the iconic Rockefeller tree lighting and visits to the Drew Barrymore Show and Today Show provided unforgettable memories. Attending these live events was a reminder of how special it is to experience the magic of the holidays in one of the world’s most iconic cities.
Rockefeller Tree Lighting: A must-see holiday tradition in New York.
Drew Barrymore Show: A personal and intimate experience at a live taping.
Today Show: A memorable moment capturing the essence of a beloved news show before Hoda Kotb’s retirement.
Business Growth and Challenges
Year Seven: The Turning Point
Reaching year seven in our business was a major turning point. This year was filled with challenges, tough decisions, and key pivots that have led us to where we are today. Our journey has taught us resilience and adaptability—two critical traits for surviving and thriving in business.
Resilience: Overcoming obstacles and making hard choices is vital for long-term success.
Adaptability: Embracing change can open doors to new opportunities.
Miami Retreat: A Catalyst for Growth
The Miami retreat has already begun to pay dividends for us. The relationships we built there have already turned into fresh business opportunities. Being part of a like-minded community has helped us rethink our strategies and approach to growth.
Networking: Relationships built on shared experiences can lead to new possibilities.
Support: A strong support system is crucial in navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
The Power of Community
Acre Partner: Finding Our Tribe
One of the best decisions we made was joining Acre Partner. This network has connected us with fellow business owners and industry leaders, offering a sense of belonging we hadn’t realized was missing. We’ve learned how essential it is to be part of a community where accountability and collaboration are the pillars of growth.
Accountability: A community of like-minded individuals holds you accountable and provides ongoing support.
Collaboration: Sharing knowledge and resources can accelerate everyone’s success.
Teaching and Sharing: Building a Community
We’ve come to appreciate the importance of not just receiving knowledge, but giving it back. By teaching and sharing our experiences, we are helping to build a community where everyone thrives. A generous mindset has proven to be a game-changer.
Generosity: Sharing what you know helps cultivate a positive and supportive environment.
Value Exchange: When seeking advice or guidance, always aim to contribute something valuable to the conversation.
Mindset and Intentions for the New Year
Setting Intentions: A Fresh Start
As we head into 2025, we’re focused on setting clear intentions and keeping our minds in a positive place. If the previous year didn’t meet your expectations, now is the perfect time to reset and aim higher. This year can be different if we approach it with optimism and purpose.
Optimism: A positive mindset is crucial for achieving any goal.
Purpose and Passion: Aligning our actions with our passion and purpose is the key to meaningful achievements.
Personal Growth: Embracing Change
The past few months have been marked by personal growth, and we’ve learned to embrace change rather than shy away from it. Stepping out of our comfort zones has empowered us to grow both personally and professionally.
Independence: Embracing our independent side has been invigorating and empowering.
Self-Care: Prioritizing personal well-being is essential for maintaining balance and productivity.
