With just a few days remaining in 2009, we typically take a look back at the year and reminisce once again on some of the significant things that happened over the last 365 days. We remember the top news stories such as the swine flu, Health Care Reform, the election of our 44th President, deaths of celebrities, and oh yes, the Recession, which sparked unemployment and foreclosures.
We remember terms that weren’t necessarily in our vocabulary previously such as “Octomom”, “Balloon Boy”, H1N1, conficker worm and Cash for Clunkers.
We remember how the social networking world took off and how Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn became so popular in our lives.
There is a definitely a lot to hark back on in 2009.
As I reflect back on my personal and business lives in 2009, I see some things that went well and I see some things that I should have done differently. I see a lot of positives and a few spots that I wish I could have had a “redo”.
But, I can’t allow myself to mull over the things in the past and think about “what could have been” for too long. I have to look forward to the future and let my focus be 2010! I want to take what I learned this year and turn it into some very productive and fruitful rewards for not only me but for my clients.
As a business owner, I encourage you to do the same. Reflect back upon your results for 2009 and decide how you would like them to be different in the New Year. What would you do differently if you were granted a “redo”? Take the time and formulate some strategic goals for a successful 2010. Look at ways you could strengthen your role as a business owner and make a positive impact to the results.
I am looking forward to starting a New Year. I have committed to myself and to my clients that 2010 will be a much better year!
Take the time to reflect back and then plan for the future.
As you know, the future starts…....Now!
