Home for the Holidays

Well, there is no place like home for the holidays. In addition to celebrating Christmas with family and friends and eating more good food than should ever be allowed, for me, this week is also good for doing some really important things related to the business:
1) Recharge
In recent years it seems like everyone is going a mile-a-minute all the time. This week marks one of the last bastions of relaxation. This week, give yourself permission to relax. Stop worrying about everything and just do whatever helps you to recharge.
2) Reflect
How was this past year for you? What are you most proud of about the business? What did you do well? What do you need to improve?
3) Declutter
You may have a messy inbox, a messy work area, or if your like me...a messy mind. Use this week to clear the mess and "eliminate the noise". This will help you to focus your mental energy on what needs to be done.
4) Wish
Wish lists are not only for kids. Think about what your wish list for your business is:
-What one thing would you like to buy for the business?
-What do you wish you did not have to do anymore?
-What are the attributes of that next "perfect" hire?
-What aspirational person or business would you like to become a customer?
Recharge, Reflect, Declutter and Wish...and also eat, drink and be merry.
Happy holidays!
