As the final days of the year tick by and we prepare to ring in the new one, we’d like to take this moment to raise a glass (or coffee cup) and offer a New Year salute to a group of people who truly deserve a standing ovation: Small business owners!
YOU, the dreamers, doers, and deadline jugglers. The ones who build something from nothing, wear all the hats—sometimes at once—and keep moving forward, even when the path is uphill and foggy. You’re a special breed. While most people run from risk, you waltz and breakdance with it. You’re equal parts strategy and spontaneity, grit and grace, spreadsheets and sticky notes.
Entrepreneurs don’t just think outside the box—they forget there was even a box to begin with. You march to the beat of your own drum, and if that drum breaks, you build a new one (and maybe launch a side hustle selling it). You turn ideas into income, problems into opportunities, and challenges into comebacks!
You Lead. You Inspire. You Innovate.
Sure, your “out of office” reply is more of a wish than a reality, and you’ve maybe had more conversations with your laptop than humans —but your resilience, creativity, and passion are what shape communities and fuel our economy.
As we count down to a fresh start, take a moment to acknowledge all you’ve accomplished this year. Even the small wins—especially the small wins. Reflect on how far you’ve come and give yourself credit for doing something extraordinary: choosing this entrepreneurial adventure, day after day.
From all of us at Compass CPA, here’s to another year of bold moves, bright ideas, and caffeine-fueled courage. Thank You for allowing us to run with you and cheer for you along the way.
Happy New Year, trailblazers! The world is better because of you.
