| 0:00.0 | Welcome to It's a Good Life Podcast where it's all about helping entrepreneurs think, |
| 0:07.6 | feel and do better. Here's your host, Brian Bafini. |
| 0:13.8 | Top of the morning to you. Welcome to It's a Good Life. Today we're going to talk about getting |
| 0:18.1 | your business after a great start. We have a vision for a rocking business. I don't know about you, |
| 0:23.5 | but I always enjoy the rocking New Year's Eve. Used to be Dick Clark. We're rocking in the year. |
| 0:30.3 | So we want to start off the year rocking and rocking and rolling with our business. A lot of |
| 0:34.5 | times we have what we call the January hangover. And it's not just that you may have |
| 0:39.1 | imbibed a little bit over the holiday season, but the fact of the matter is there's some legitimate |

| 1:42.1 | people we coach and our audience with it's a good life podcast for a recession in 2023. And I've |
