Review The Year

Before we start
setting goals
for 2024,
we should take a day or two
and review 2023.

We should look at what worked
and
what didn’t work.

We should ask ourselves questions
like…

What added value to our business?
What was extra but nice to do/have?
What doesn’t add value in any way
and should be stopped?

Which partnerships are working well?
Which partnerships aren’t working ideally
but can be saved?
Which partnerships aren’t working at all
and should be severed?

Where did most of the income come from?
Can that income be increased?
Can our income be diversified
without decreasing that core income?

What mistakes were made?
How did we recover
from those mistakes?

What were the huge successes?
How can we duplicate
those successes?

Etc.

Take some time
and review 2023.
That will increase our odds
of success in 2024.

During Your Year End Review

This is the time of year
when many of us
look back
and evaluate
what we’ve accomplished.

We note the progress
we’ve made,
the goals we’ve met
or not met,
the difference
we’ve made in
this wonderful world.

When you’re doing this,
note
that we were dealing
with both a pandemic
and climate change
during it.

Those were possible life-ending challenges.
They required mental bandwidth
to survive.

Simply surviving them
was a HUGE accomplishment.

If you accomplished other goals
while doing so,
you did AMAZINGLY.

If you’re reading this,
you accomplished a great feat
– staying alive.

If you’ve done more
than merely stay alive,
you should be
VERY proud of yourself.

Remember that
when you look at your progress.
