Look Back - Look forward
………………….to 2021.
Just a few months ago we were all so excited for New Year’s Eve. The coming of a new decade & new opportunity.
Then COVID19 came to the United States, crushing what we had planned & hoped for in 2020.
This was the last thing we were thinking about on New Year’s Day even though this invisible enemy was creeping around the World.
What will New Year’s Day 2021 bring?
Look back one year from today.
· What were things like for you in May 2019?
· What could we have done in business to be better prepared for what we are facing today?
· What decisions did we NOT make that were on the docket?
Look forward one year from today to May 2021. As specifically as you can, make the following list:
· What does your personal life look like?
· What will the state of your business or businesses be?
· What decisions can you make today that will improve the chances of making these things happen?
· What are you NOT doing that you could be acting on?
· What do you need to STOP doing?
· What is nagging at you the most that you have control over?
I have learned that it takes about one year for significant positive change to happen.
There is nothing we can do about yesterday, today will soon be over, there is a LOT we can do with our tomorrows.
Many entrepreneurs I am speaking with now talking about just making it to New Year’s 2021.
What are your plans forward?

4 年Thanks Paul. I often think now about how I was expecting a year and decade filled with change and good things. Well, we certainly have the former and we will have to see down the line if we wind up with the later. I think good will come out of this. I believe that we needed to be shaken up. For me the year started with a huge amount of promise and opportunity. Now the three work related areas of my life are pretty much on hold. But this has given me the opportunity to look at things from a different angle and this will have a good result. While I was not expecting a Pandemic, I did have in the back of my mind that there would be some type of major world event. Let's hope that good comes out of this and thanks again for bringing this up. Call me when you get a chance and we can talk about this and catch up. One thing I am seeing from this is how good it is to get people on the phone for a conversation rather than going back and forth with texts, emails, and social media posts. Namaste!

4 年Great thoughts Paul. We all think that thinking about today, planning our week is thinking ahead when the reality is to change our life we need to be planning and setting goals way beyond that. Got me thinking about 2021 now.
