January 2026 - New Year, New Focus & New YOU

 As we step into this New Year, I want to take a moment—on behalf of Get2ten—to reflect on the incredible potential that lies ahead of us. This season invites us to release old burdens, forgive those who may have wronged us, and move forward with clarity and purpose. Remember, forgiveness is for you. When you forgive, you loosen the emotional hold of the past. Forgive—and let it go.

Life is precious and often far too short. At Get2ten, we believe in miracles, the power of prayer, and the strength that comes from perseverance. Keep pushing forward toward your goals and never forget—you are not alone. Growth happens best in community, whether through social groups, faith-based connections, sports, service, or shared passions. Together, we rise.

Now is the time to pursue the dreams you’ve been postponing. Go for that promotion. Start that podcast. Write and publish your book. Step into something new—even if it scares you—whether that’s learning a new skill, speaking in public, prioritizing your health, or saying yes to leadership. Consider how you can serve others through volunteering, fostering, adopting, mentoring, or simply showing up where you’re needed.

Take care of yourself, mind, body, and spirit. Schedule routine check-ups, stay organized, and be intentional about your financial well-being. Consider saving, investing, or planning for your future. Express love freely. Write letters, make calls, and let those closest to you know how much they matter.

Embrace your dreams without hesitation. If you’re renting, consider the path to homeownership. If your current direction no longer aligns with your purpose, give yourself permission to pivot, retrain, or grow. Work quietly, stay consistent, and allow your results to speak for you.

Above all, be kind—to yourself and to others. Hug your loved ones. Smile because you are alive. Seek wisdom daily, learn continuously, and advocate for causes close to your heart. Write your goals down and keep them visible—what we focus on, we move toward.

Most importantly, believe in God. With faith at the center and commitment to growth, there is no limit to what we can achieve together.

From all of us at Get2ten, I wish you a joyful, peaceful, and purpose-filled New Year—one marked by growth, resilience, and forward momentum.

We welcome the New Year and helping you “Get-2-Your-Ten”

How to Build a Loyal Workforce by Anita Starks

Employee loyalty should be at the top of the list for every employer, and be integrated into your business strategy. It’s that important! Simplify – Those leaders who gain loyalty do it by removing barriers for everyone else. Their primary job is to continuously make everyone else’s job easier. If your employee sees you trying to help make their job easier, they will be much more loyal. Lines of Communication – Often, as business leaders, we tend to focus all our attention on the consumers and our bottom line. But what we must realize is that when we turn some of that attention and focus to our employee’s loyalty, it will automatically help us reach those other goals. Employees who are loyal will provide better customer service and will be more apt to helping your business grow. Evaluate – The first thing you need to do is recognize that some people are naturally loyal, while others are not. You may need to replace those people who are not loyal and Re-place th...

How to Build a Loyal Workforce by Anita Starks Part 2

Continuing this months topic of how to build a loyal workforce, I want to talk about initiating loyalty first to employees and producing action from your plans. Reciprocate – The biggest secret is to give loyalty first. If you want employees to go above and beyond for you, you must go above and beyond for them. The best leaders get this. They fight for the team, and in return, the team fights for them. This doesn’t mean that you must give them more financially. There are many non-financial rewards you can give that will help build loyalty, such as giving respect and praise, having an employee of the month being flexible when they need time off, and listening to their suggestions and feedback .   Putting Your Plan into Action – To put this plan into action, take some time to focus on your employee loyalty. Work at building a loyal team and doing what it takes to make that happen. It may take you coming to terms with the fact that you need to replace a few pe...
