Happy New Year from the The Willis Firm PC team.
For you and me both, this week can feel like a blur – trying to finish out last-minute year-end tax moves while making sure the books are wrapping up nicely.
I always do my best to try to find a quiet pocket of time this week to take stock of the year that’s ending. If you have the margin, I encourage you to do the same. (It’s really quite gratifying.)
Look back at the year and ask yourself:
– What decisions went better than you expected?
– Where did you surprise yourself with resilience or creativity?
– What did you carry that you’re ready to set down?
– What did this year teach you about what really matters in your work?
This little exercise shows what you likely already know: running a business ain’t easy.
Through all of the ups and downs of 2025, the win you can come away with is this: you stayed focused on making your business thrive this year.
And as is the case with running your own business, you carried responsibility beyond what anyone else saw. Beyond the P&Ls and reports, you made hundreds of decisions focused on bringing your company success. Maybe one of these will sound familiar to you…
→ Staying up past 11:00 pm to troubleshoot a tech glitch yourself.
→ Clicking “submit” on payroll, knowing you weren’t going to get paid that month.
→ Turning down a high-profile client because you knew it would burn out your team.
Those choices didn’t happen by accident. They were the result of thinking ahead and taking your role seriously (even when it would be easier not to).
Among those intentional choices you made this year: Trusting The Willis Firm PC with the financial health of your business.
That means a great deal to me. And I don’t take it for granted.
And, because we’ve built that kind of trust-based relationship, I get excited about what 2026 holds.
As we wrap up 2025, I want to say thank you for your trust.
Thank you for your confidence in me to help you with the critical decisions you made over and over this year to keep your business steady.
Cheers to 2025, and bring on 2026!
