The annual holiday spending cycle fuels business in America as families gather and business shuts down. Instead of dreading it, leverage it!
Good Neighbors
Create relationships in your neighborhood. Do it formally through a neighborhood project, or take the next step with someone. Wave, borrow a cup of sugar and take back cookies, or invite them to dinner. Start slow and build.
This is especially easy to do over the holiday season when dropping by with cookies or inviting folks over for an open-house hot-cocoa bar are entirely normal things to do.
