Festive Period: 4 + 1 R’s

Dec 10, 2021.

It’s the end of 2021 and again this year has been a tumultuous ride.  Some businesses have had their best year ever, others are plodding along as normal and then there are still a few decimated but the global pandemic.  Irrespective of the category you fall into remember: “Nothing positive ever comes from being negative!”  Thanks Mike Abel from MC Saatchi Abel for reminding us of that at our recent conference.

For us it’s been another amazing year and one filled with so many highlights.  The last quarter in particular has been crazy busy and I must admit we’re really looking forward to our summer break.  Business is the only thing that funds and serves life and I’m more excited than ever about what the new year will bring.  Before that though, let me leave you with some food for thought as you head into the Festive Period. 

Festive Period: 4 + 1 R’s

1. Review - Go back and honestly reflect on the whole year – both the good and the bad.  Find the good and the blessings.  A great place to find things to be grateful for is your social media feeds and the photos on your phone. 

2. Reset -  What has been; has been.  You can’t change the past so purposefully hit the ‘reset’ button now.  Think Ctrl + Alt Del and reboot.  Forget about the business and leave the past behind so that you can free up capacity for the future.

3. Recharge - Whilst spending time with family and friends, remember to make sure you also do something you love doing.  You need the recharge ass much, and maybe even more, than anyone else.  Make a point of taking it slow and ensuring you rest and relax.

4. Refocus - Ideally before you leave 2021 behind (or at the latest first thing in 2022) make sure you have your Personal Goals and then you Business Goals ready to go and cast in stone.  Remember your business is a vehicle to support you and your dreams, aspirations and goals.

+1.  Run - When you get back to work be ready to run and RUN FAST!  The quicker you get going in 2022 the better.  Business is a 12 month marathon and you definitely don’t want to start late and play catch-up.

Then in closing, thank you for allowing us to do what we love doing and in doing so make a meaningful contribution wherever we can.  Without you and your business; we wouldn’t have a business.  We look forward too engaging with you in the New Year and ensuring we assist in taking you, and your business, to its full potential.  Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and come back ready for your best year yet!
