It’s the most wonderful time of the year! There is a reason I’m a drummer and you just found out why – I can’t sing...and it’s not the most wonderful time of the year for the reason’s you may be thinking. It’s the time of the year when we’re planning for 2021. Everything is out in front of us. We can forget about the challenges of this year and build plans to perform better next year.
Everyone is undefeated in 2021. We haven’t fallen short of any 2021 goals. It’s a new year with fresh possibilities. The imagery of the old man 2020 being replaced by the fresh, full of life baby that is 2021 applies here.
So, how do you keep the momentum and fulfill the promise of 2021? Plan and execute! It’s what we tell you every year but this year we mean it and you should do!
Our planning system is built around starting with the end in mind. Decide upon your desired legacy, build your life and business to drive towards those goals and then surround yourself with the right leaders and build your own leadership skills to accomplish your goals. Write these things down, share them with the people in your life, be accountable and execute.
Pete Sorenson pointed out on the HUB the unfortunate passing of Zappo’s recently retired CEO Tony Hsieh. Some of our younger members struggle with the importance of Legacy. Tony was 46 when he died. With no will. I’m sure he thought he had plenty of time to get things in order. Unfortunately, the reality is you never know.
Planning is important. Q4 is business plan quarter so hopefully you have your plans locked down for next year so you can hit the ground running. Then we turn our attention to your leadership skills and surrounding yourself with the leaders you need in Q1. I’m excited about 2021 and the possibilities it represents. I hope you are too!
