Grateful for Growth: Thanksgiving Year-End Money Moves for Wellness, Personal Care & Online Service Businesses

Thanksgiving is the perfect moment to pause, look back at your numbers, and recognize how far your wellness or online service business has come this year. This month, the focus has been on helping you move from “hoping it all works out” to making clear, confident financial decisions—and that is something worth being deeply grateful for.​

Looking Back with Gratitude

Over the past few weeks, you’ve walked through:

• How to steady your cash flow during the holiday swings so you are not surprised by slowdowns or spikes.

• How to build an inflation-aware budget for 2026 that reflects real-world costs and protects your profit.

These skills are not just about numbers; they are about creating stability, margin, and breathing room for you as a human being running a business. Financial clarity is a form of self-care for wellness and personal care professionals.​

Your Financial Wins This Month

Take a moment to notice any small but important steps you’ve taken:

• Reviewing your income streams and trimming hidden expenses.

• Mapping out a realistic budget for the new year.

• Having one more honest conversation—with yourself or your tax planner—about what you really want 2026 to look like.

Each of these is a win. Thanksgiving is a natural time to celebrate these habits: tracking, planning, and staying present with your money instead of avoiding it.​

A Thanksgiving Note to You (and Your Clients)

As you head into Thanksgiving, give yourself credit for showing up for your business and your clients, even on the days it felt hard. Your work supports people’s health, confidence, and well-being, and that impact is worth honoring. If you choose to share a Thanksgiving message with your own clients, a simple note of appreciation for their trust and continued support can go a long way in strengthening those relationships.​

Wishing you a warm, restorative Thanksgiving—one filled with gratitude for the business you’re building, the clients you serve, and the financial clarity you’re creating for the year ahead.​

The month of May is almost over and it was filled with festive events like Mother’s Day (which I hope was enjoyable for you:) and one of my favorite holidays that is coming up; Memorial Day.

I hope you are making time to go outside and enjoy the nice weather wherever you live in the world. This month I started taking a deep dive into marketing and different facets of it. I talked about how to market your business which took a stab at defining marketing along with various steps to take to deliver your marketing message. Finally, I discussed how to identify your target market.

Marketing is the secret sauce to keeping a business in business. If your revenues are starting to decrease in your business you can bet that there is a lack of marketing that is taking place. As you relax and fire up the BBQ pit this weekend for Memorial Day take a few minutes to read over the two blog posts that I created just for you. I hope they help you along your marketing journey.

Keep IT Sunny!

This month was all about the Benjamin’s so to speak. Specifically, I shared information about the three primary financial statements: the Balance Sheet, The P&L, and The Statement of Cash Flows. I explained what each statement means and why you should care. As a business owner, it is important to know what you own, owe and what the equity is in your business. Additionally, the P&L can help you to understand what you sold, what you spent, and if you made money. Finally, the statement of cash flows can help you get a 360 view of where the cash traveled within your business. The key to business success is using financial statements to help you to run your business better and make sound business decisions.
