Newsletter No. 22
As we approach the end of the year, now is the perfect time to reflect on where we are and where we want to be. Setting clear goals and making a plan for the year ahead can provide the direction and motivation needed to make the most of each day. Whether it’s for your personal life or your business, planning ahead helps turn aspirations into actionable steps. This week, we’re focusing on
goal setting and intentional planning and we’re excited to share how The Hub and Spoke is helping you achieve just that.
What’s happening at The Hub and Spoke
We’ve had a fantastic start to our new membership programme! It's been great to
see so many new faces around, and the response to our lunch ordering service has
been overwhelmingly positive. The food has been absolutely delicious, and we love
hearing all the feedback!
We also hosted a wreath-making workshop this week, which added some festive
cheer to the space. It was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to take a break
from work, get creative, and make something special for the holidays.
If you haven’t seen it yet, we’ve also fully decorated The Hub and Spoke, and it’s
looking incredibly festive. It’s the perfect setting to get into the holiday spirit while
staying productive!

Next Steps: What to Try This Week
- Set Your Goals for the Year Ahead
Take a moment to define your goals for 2026, both personal and professional. Write them down and break them into actionable steps. Don’t forget to track your progress as the months go by. - Join Us for a £10 Working Day
For just £10, you can spend the day at The Hub and Spoke, enjoying two free drinks while working in a focused, intentional environment. Whether you're working on your goals or connecting with others, this model ensures everyone in the space is here with the same purpose, maximizing productivity and collaboration. - Carve out a goal setting day!
Set your 3 year, 1 year and quarterly goals for yourself and your business / work. Be audacious, make them scary and plan how you will get one step closer to those big 3 year goals by breaking them down into 1 year and quarterly goals. A goal without a plan
is just a wish after all!
You don’t have to do more - just more of what matters.
"A goal without a plan is just a wish."
