I love it Michael Thornton good for you! We're actually celebrating Thanksgiving tonight, as my bride is trypically working every Thanksgiving (inflight team Virgin America) so we have a new tradition .

I actually started my 2016 business plan (as I do annually) with my Buffini-coach on the first Wednesday of November. I'll use this weekend to take it from outline to details. # of units sold, price point, marketing, goals, etc. It's awesome because it all happens right in my CRM.

Then my bride and I usually go away (hotel somewhere fun) for a couple days in December to layout & line up our personal & family goals for the coming year. We turn our hotel room into a "war Room" with goal sheets blue taped to the walls and goals planners layout everywhere. (Room service always finds this curious).

These are both annual and cherished traditions that set the sail for the coming year...so we avoid drift.

My business plan is ongoing with goals along the way. They are not really annual. And, yes, I plan to enjoy Thanksgiving Day with friends. I think many have lost track of what it means what with Black Friday starting that day just to drive people out to shop early for Christmas. And that means many people are working that day. I think that is sad!
