You have questions America's number one business coach has answers.

It's your Broda from Minnesota.

Here's another edition of Ask Clay Anything on the Thrive Time Business Coach radio show.

On the Thrive Nation on today's edition of the Ask Me Anything, The Thrive Time Show podcast.

I'm answering a question that's been asked to me by our employees and our clients alike for years.

They say, Clay, what are the hala plagues? There's the holidays.

You've all heard of the holidays.

But a lot of people haven't heard of the conjunction of taking the word hala and combining with

plagues known as the hala plagues.

So Chuck, I have written down what I believe to be the most accurate description of the hollow plagues.

But the hollow plagues are the self-imposed famines and cash flow problems caused by small business

owners who spend more money than they have, while simultaneously, you have to do both,

simultaneously spending less time in the business.

Good examples of the Hall of Plagues would be the week of Thanksgiving.

Maybe fall break.

Spring break.

The last entire two weeks of December.

The week and the weekend of Memorial Day,

the week and weekend of the fourth, etc.

Small business owners also kill themselves throughout the year by acting like they have unlimited paid time off and paid sick days throughout the year.

I call this the Hall of Plagues.

Chuck, Andrew, you've been with us for a while now.
