Portland/Vancouver
Monthly Marketing Update- December 2022

The holiday season is officially upon us. These times can be joyful, or nostalgic, but also stressful, and sometimes sad. Recently I have tried to drink in as much joy as possible while also managing my feelings of “maybe this is the last…” In reality, we never know when the last is actually going to be the last. Kids go to college, families start new traditions, people move, and sometimes loved ones pass away. This season, treat every moment as if it may be the last- we won’t ever regret squeezing that extra ounce of gratitude from the moment. For those already experiencing a tough holiday season, I hope that you are able to find a spark of joy and not become too overwhelmed, but if you do- please share your feelings and know you are not alone.

From a business perspective, I am beyond thankful for our continued growth in print and online. Every week a senior calls to share how the guide has helped their family, or a provider gives a testimonial on how the guide helped grow their business. I am grateful to work with a fantastic team that is passionate about being a resource to the community. I appreciate everyone who posts events online with us, shares the guide, sends someone to our website for help, networks with us each month, and especially for those that already reserved ad space for 2023.

The Portland/Vancouver edition of Retirement Connection Guide will hit the streets in less than one month. Thanks to our sponsors who make all of our work possible because of their advertising. Please return the favor and refer to our sponsors whenever possible.

Happy Holidays!

Nugget Of Knowledge
"A mistake which makes you humble is much better than an achievement that makes you arrogant." — Unknown

Success can be an excuse for continued bad behavior because we may not feel the immediate repercussions of our negative actions. We learn faster and grow more from our mistakes, as long as we are willing to pivot. Don’t let a speed bump become a stop sign, keep driving forward!! Embrace your mistakes and fail forward.
