It’s the last day of 2021, and the perfect time for reflection. If you missed our last Fireside Chat, we spent a lot of time reflecting on this year. It’s hard to recognize growth and continue to grow if you don’t spend time reflecting on what you’ve overcome. Maybe you feel like you overcome TONS in 2020, and just chugged along in 2021.
Not true.
A lot of small local businesses in my town were able to get through 2020. The government provided some assistance to small business owners, but by 2021, much of that had run out. In fact, I’ve seen more businesses in my town close in 2021 as a result of the pandemic than I saw in 2020.
But, here we are now heading into 2022. Some of us are open and operating at a normal capacity. Some are having to impose new restrictions to mandate COVID vaccines for customers. Some are living in a city with looming shut downs again.
But you’ve made it this far.
You probably overcame a lot in 2021. Spend a few minutes today reflecting on that. Think about what you’d like to change in your life and in your business for next year. Write it down.
When we reflect and set goals, we improve.
