✨ Year-End Crunch Time… But You Don’t Have to Do It Alone! ✨ Hey friends — Marney here from SML, your personal support company where your business is our business. As we head into the final stretch of the year, the pressure starts stacking up: closing out the books, cleaning up CRMs, wrapping projects, updating websites, fixing systems, meeting compliance deadlines… all while still serving your clients. It’s a lot. Even for the pros. But here’s the good news: 👉 You don’t need a full-time hire to get full-scale help. That’s where fractional business support becomes your year-end power move. What Fractional Support Looks Like Right Now: 🧩 CRM + admin cleanup 📊 Bookkeeping catch-up & CPA-ready reports 🧑‍💼 HR + payroll tasks you’ve been avoiding 🌐 Website content + IT updates 📣 Holiday messaging + Q1 content 🏛️ SAM.gov renewals, proposal cleanup & GovCon admin We jump in, clean it up, organize it, and get you ready for 2026 — fast. Why It Works ✔ Flexible ✔ Cost-effective ✔ Specialized The Bottom Line You don’t have to drag yourself across the year-end finish line.

🚀 New Video Alert: The Thanksgiving Week “2-2-2 Rule” Every Founder Needs! If Thanksgiving week always seems to sneak up on your calendar and completely hijack your workflow… you’re not alone. 😅🦃 I just dropped a quick Smart Management Lounge video that walks you through a simple, stress-reducing framework I use with founders and small business leaders: The Thanksgiving Week 2-2-2 Rule ✨ 2 things you must do ✨ 2 things you should delegate ✨ 2 things you can confidently postpone …so you can go into the long weekend calm, intentional, and with zero business guilt. If you want to work smarter, not harder this holiday week, this one’s for you. 💛

🎥 New Smart Management Lounge Video is LIVE — and this one hits home for every small team! If you’ve ever dealt with revisions… returns… last-minute tweaks… or the “Hey, can we change one more thing?” message 👀 — this video is going to speak to your soul. In this week’s episode, I break down how reverse logistics (yes, the same concept used by major companies for returns and repairs!) can transform how small teams manage feedback loops, revisions, and internal workflows. ✨ And don’t worry — no trucks, warehouses, or forklifts required. Just people. Processes. And clarity. Whether you're running a small business, leading a tiny-but-mighty team, or juggling all the roles yourself — this approach will make your workflow smoother and your outcomes more predictable. If you watch it, let me know your biggest “aha!” moment. I love hearing what resonates with you! 💛✨
