On the first day of Christmas, Spin Sucks gave to you…

That’s right, my friends! It’s time for our famous and fabulous 12 Days of Christmas Series.

I always look forward to this countdown (and not just because it means I don’t have to figure out what to write about—everyone knows that struggle can be REAL).

It’s a fun tradition and a great way for all of us to end the year. And, sure, I don’t have to figure out what to write about. It practically writes itself.

For those of you who get all hopped up on logistics: yes, I know it’s not the ACTUAL 12 Days of Christmas.

But it works much better on a business podcast and blog to do it before Christmas. You know, so we aren’t creating content during the dead weeks when no one is downloading and listening to podcasts or reading blog posts.

I also mean absolutely no offense by calling it our Christmas series. The real reason we have this series is so I can sing the full 12 Days of Christmas song by the end—with words I made up during this series. Calling it the 12 Days of the Holidays doesn’t work as well. Too many syllables.

In the spirit of the holidays, I’d love for you to suspend logistics for a bit and roll with this gift for the next couple of weeks.

On the First Day of Spin Sucks Christmas

On the first day of Christmas, Spin Sucks gave to you, one mindset shift you must make in 2021.

I don’t think anyone will disagree when I say this year has been one for the history books. Most of the country is back under some sort of lockdown. Some of us have also been managing kids and their school schedules on top of working full-time. And the extra cooking and cleaning and laundry. Oh my gosh! Why is there so much more laundry?

With all of this, it’s been nearly impossible to plan for tomorrow, let alone for a new year.

But there is one thing you can do, no matter what the circumstances. And that is…work on your mindset.

That’s what we discuss on this week’s Spin Sucks podcast episode.
