🎄✨ Welcome to Day 11 of our 12 Days of Christmas Tips & Tricks!
As we approach the final days of this series, we want to focus on something foundational to success—celebrating wins. Recognizing milestones isn’t just about reliving the moment; it’s about building momentum and setting the stage for even greater things to come. At 8:28 Management, we’ve experienced a year of incredible growth, and we’re excited to share how celebrating our victories has ignited our planning for 2025.
Built on the Rock
This year, Kim and I celebrated an incredibly personal milestone: graduating from the Regeneration program at our church. We walked this journey of healing and transformation together, and it became the foundation of everything we do at 8:28 Management. The verse from Matthew 7:24-25 reminds us:
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Through this program, we rebuilt our lives on Christ, creating a firm foundation that gave us clarity and confidence to pursue God’s calling for us. This shift in mindset set us on a trajectory to launch our business and embrace the incredible journey of entrepreneurship.
Reflecting on Wins
The milestones we’ve achieved in 2024 are a testament to God’s faithfulness and our commitment to staying the course. Here are just a few of the highlights:
Obtaining Our LLC and EIN: The official creation of 8:28 Management LLC in May was a pivotal moment. It marked the beginning of turning a vision into a reality.
Launching Our Digital Presence: From creating our website to establishing a social media presence, we took the leap to share our story and services with the world.
Recording Our First TEDx Talk: Sharing our message on such a significant platform was a dream come true.
Writing a Chapter in an Upcoming Book: Collaborating with like-minded women to contribute to a book set for release in early 2025 was a meaningful milestone.

Building Momentum for 2025
We believe in the teachings of Marcus Buckingham, who emphasizes the power of playing to your strengths. At 8:28, we’re not striving to be everything to everyone; instead, we aim to be excellent for some. This perspective has shaped our strategy as we:
Focus on mastering and expanding areas where we excel.
Commit to continuous learning to enhance our strengths.
Develop plans that are realistic yet ambitious, staying aligned with our core values.
As we look to 2025, we know challenges will come, but our mindset is firmly rooted in growth and faith. We’re prepared to pivot when necessary, remain true to our mission, and never lose sight of our ultimate destination.
