1. Full Focus Planner
You sink into bed exhausted, but nothing feels accomplished. The daily whirlwind of activities swept you away while your greatest priorities took a back seat. We believe neverending to-do lists are the source of overwhelm and disappointment in life. You don’t have to let your to-do list call the shots. There’s a better way.The Full Focus Planner ends the tyranny of the never-ending to-do list by helping you focus on what matters. Plus, it comes in multiple colors and styles.

2. Leading Change Without Losing It by Carey Nieuwhof
Leading Change Without Losing It is a practical guide to help church leaders of every kind navigate change in the face of opposition. Because so many church leaders are trying to transition an existing ministry rather than start a new one, this book comes at a critical time. The five strategies Carey Nieuwhof outlines are practical and applicable to virtually any organization.

3. Better Decisions, Fewer Regrets by Andy Stanley
Our decisions don't just affect our present circumstances; they radiate into our future. Most of the time, it's impossible to know what will come of the decisions we make. But this doesn't have to paralyze you. You can train yourself to ask well-placed, appropriately timed, thought-provoking questions that will result in stronger decisions and fewer disappointments down the road.

4. 4Sight Leadership Institute
Without the practical skills to lead well, you’ll lose your top talent, struggle to attract the best talent or lose institutional knowledge.
The 4Sight Leadership Institute provides practical training, coaching for application, and accountability for implementation to equip you to thrive in your leadership.

5. The 6 Types of Working Genius
The 6 types of Working Genius is a new model that helps people discover their natural gifts in order to thrive in their work and life. When people are able to better understand the types of work that bring them more energy and fulfillment and avoid work that leads to frustration and failure, they can become more self-aware, more productive and more successful.

6. A BELAY Virtual Assistant
Don’t just take it from us. As our friend Donald Miller has said, a VA is the best gift you can give yourself. And he would also add that a VA is the most important first hire for entrepreneurs.
If you feel like you can’t take a vacation or you’re missing out on business opportunities because of the chaos surrounding you, a BELAY Virtual Assistant could be the best gift you give yourself this year.
So instead of accomplishing those important (but time-consuming) administrative tasks, you get the most valuable asset in business: more time to focus on what matters most. A gift that keeps on giving is the best kind.
Start that process — and be matched with a VA within one week — here.
We hope that you’ve been gift-inspired by this list. As we head into the throws of holiday parties and gift buying, we’re wishing you a wonderfully balanced holiday season. Our hope is that you are able to make the most of your productivity goals and still find plenty of time to relax, reset and share special moments with loved ones.
