Welcome to another issue of I Hate Newsletters
Here are my random thoughts for December.
Random Thought Number One
Let's start with the new variant. There is more unknown than known as I write this, but what is clear - way too many people are falling into the trap of anchoring.
This type of bias is always extremely dangerous for business owners and people in general.

When something new happens. We must train ourselves to reset.
This is why I despise the term return to normal.
First, normal isn't the goal.
Second, what are you really saying. Most likely you are saying let's go back to when I didn't have to worry about this Covid thing. Better to say that because most of us can agree with that statement, but we can also agree with the statement - we have to deal with it.
Finally, I'm glad to share with you what I share with many of my clients. Focus on making your business plans and decisions within a 90-day framework, not an annual one.
I certainly hope that in a few weeks we will have a better understanding of what this variant is and most importantly is not.
Between now and then...

Random Thought Number Two
Be kind to yourself during this month.
If you are unemployed and doing a job search, there is no way around it December is a rough one for you. And it will continue to be rough until mid-January.
Remember that it is okay to take a break.
It is also a smart idea to ask for help from those that are close to you rather than random strangers.
I wish you the best on your job search

3 年It seems to me we don’t have a normal now and maybe we never did. What’s normal? What I do know is change is inevitable and it can be embraced or denied. I’m ok with embrace. Make your choice.
