And Hit The Ground Running When The New Year Strikes! What should you be focusing on right now? The next two weeks are a perfect time for this Reflective period, as it might be called. Here’s a list from Ryan Levesque and Todd Herman, that I liked. Here are some things you want to focus on:
• The 10 biggest wins in your business in the last year
• 3 top lessons you’ve learned
• The greatest influences that have had an effect on your business in the last year
• The smartest decision you made last year
• The biggest risk you took
• One word that best sums up and describes last year’s experience
• Three things you need to do less of in the next year
• Three things you need to do more of in the next year
• Three things you need to stop doing altogether in the next year
Next steps: Before January 1. List your key year-end goals and then make a detailed plan for the first 90 days of January. At some point, you’ll need to decide how you want to involve your high-performance team members, your other staff and consultants, and your clients and customers in this process. At the minimum, effective communication presented with a listening style is needed.
