For this year's "spooky season" episode, we take a look at some outside-the-box options for October viewing. From those lesser-known or under-celebrated horror movies to counter-programing options to comedies and thrillers with a cozy, Halloweeny vibe, Ian, Ivy, Ned, Alissa, and our listeners have suggestions for you.

As we continue to move through the "planning season" it is imperative that we pay attention to our thoughts around Analysis Paralysis and information overload. Both can cause you to pause or stop on your journey to your new plan and completely derail you. As you are projecting your new year through your business plan, I'd like to  invite you to think of it as a "life plan". After all, goals without meaning have no energy.  Every goal you set, has an impact on your life and business.Do spend some time analyzing your previous year.  What went well and what didn't work. Strategize around the loses and learn from them. Also take time to get real with yourself and ask the tough question, "what did I not do that if I had would have allowed me to achieve goal or exceed goal". This does require analyzing both the wins and losses.  It also requires you to be honest about what you were pushing away.  We all have done it or do it now and it is the ONE thing that if you just did, would change everything. Also, spend time assessing where you are spending time gathering information.  If it is not in alignment with your activities, don't bother.   Why would you invest time in something that has NOTHING to do with your strategies?  Commit to your 3 sources of business and ONLY invest in courses, masterminds, coaches, podcast, and webinars that are in alignment with your chosen strategies. Join me to learn more! Book a free coaching call: https://calendly.com/tony-rethinkcoaching/30min?month=2023-10To get more information about Tony and reTHINK Coaching - http://www.rethinkcoaching.com/
