When does the new year begin?
In the hectic hustle-bustle of the holiday season, I take some level of comfort in knowing that soon the year will wind down to an end and a brand-new year with brand-new possibilities will begin.
Part of my brain thinks that the new year begins in September, but that’s from many years of schooling, then more years of working in the public school system, and now having a daughter in elementary school.
Ok, it’s also because September is the beginning of the fall show season, which is usually the most profitable time of year for makers.
But I digress.
As we are closing out 2023 and getting ready to start anew in 2024, it’s time to be planning and preparing for all of the exciting things (ok, and maybe not-so-exciting) things that we’d like to do in our business in the new year.
In a few weeks, I’m going to be inviting for you to join us in the Bloom Make More in 2024 planning session (to take place in early January) – and if you haven’t gotten your 2024 planner yet, this is the perfect time to pick one up.
In today’s blog post, I’m sharing a review of the best planners for creatives and handmade businesses for 2024. If you want to be at the top of the VIP invite list for the Bloom 2024 planning session, hit reply and say “I wanna make more in 2024!”
