A new decade is upon us and there is a lot happening in business and the world. We have had enough media hype about the economy. People are taking action to move their lives and businesses ahead. All the pundits will be suggesting you should be setting your goals for 2010 and then getting into action to make them happen. I would suggest all of us consider a different approach.
Take some time to reflect on what has happened in your business and your life in the past year. What were the challenges and what were the wins. Consider how you would like your business and your life to look in three months, 12 months and two years. From that, create written visions of your business and your life. Make sure your vision is bigger than you are and bigger than your business. Stretch yourself. Once you have created your visions then create your goals and a plan to achieve your goals. In your business be sure to include extra effort in sales and marketing to keep your business vibrant and strong. Build your natural skills. Delegate and find ways to have someone else provide the skills you fall short in. If you are starting a new business focus the majority of your effort on sales and marketing to give your business a healthy start.
It has been my experience and observation that when we have visions bigger than us, we achieve things bigger than we would have believed. From our visions we can then create flexible plans to bring those visions to fruition. Do not do it alone. If you are a business owner, executive, or solo-preneur find a mentor, coach or advisor to help you through 2010 and the next decade. Very few possess all the skills necessary to succeed big on our own.
For those that live in or around Vancouver, Whistler, and the 2010 Winter Olympics it is important to include plans to sustain and build your business during February and March when there will be disruptions to business, public access and traffic flow. Now is the time to be innovative in keeping, attracting and serving customers. Good Luck and have fun doing what you do. Enjoying the journey is an important part of the experience of life.
