Merry Christmas. Today being Christmas, I’ll keep this one short and just announce the following important fact:
Christmas trees grow in spurts. Each year, Christmas trees grow from April to June, and then they are done for the year.
I learned this important fact recently, in an interview with a Christmas tree farmer.
Turns out the farmer doesn’t know what he’s got for the coming season until the growth spurt is over.
For much of the year, the Christmas trees pretty much sit there, maybe growing a bit, or maybe not growing at all. But when growth does happen, it comes in big and unpredictable lumps.
I’d like to suggest it’s not just Christmas trees.
It’s been pretty much like that in most areas of my life. Constant inputs, lots of waiting, no real progress, then a big, often surprising jump.
I’m telling you this in case you’re working and wondering where it’s going. Maybe your growing season is coming.
And with that, I’m off, to see if it’s possible to rent bikes anywhere in Valencia on Christmas day, so I can bike down to the Albufera lake, which lies just outside the city borders.
Meanwhile, if you want some help with create emails that can act like constant inputs for your business, sales-wise and creative-wise, I have something that can help:
