8th December 2011
As we wind down to Christmas perhaps now is a good time to reflect on the year, acknowledge what has been good and bad about it, decide what we have learned from it, and make sure we change things, and don’t make the same mistakes again next year.
The breakfast club I belong to (The Business Café) spent a very useful and interesting session this morning discussing these things, and I certainly came away from it feeling extremely positive.
The thing is, it is so easy to forget the good things, when everything seems to be gloomy all around us. In fact as it turned out, the majority of us had a lot of positive stories to tell, and we generally felt that more good things lie ahead for us in the coming year.
Equally well we shouldn’t just ignore the bad things, and hide them away, or there is more likelihood that we let them happen again. Facing up to these, understanding the issues, and resolving to learn from these mistakes is more likely to ensure that our businesses perform even better next year.
The other recurring theme that came out of the session, was to live for the moment, and to make sure that our businesses are giving us what we want, not being tied to them and letting them drag us down. I know I have often talked about the need to “enjoy the journey” and make the most of every situation, but perhaps now more than ever, we need to focus on all the good things that happen to us every day, however small they may seem.
So keep focusing on the positives, and more good things will come your way.
