I can’t believe it’s December 31st. Where did the year go?
At this time of year it’s natural to start planning for 2009, setting New Year’s resolutions. But on the last day of the year, it’s worth taking a moment to reflect on what you’ve done over the past year. What were your successes over the past year; what did you achieve? Take a moment to celebrate them. Even if you didn’t achieve all your goals, you need to celebrate what you did achieve. The majority of businesses fail in the first three years. Just still being around is worth celebrating.
If you’re like me, you probably spend a lot of energy focusing on the future, aiming for the next goal. But as entrepreneurs, we don’t have a boss to give us a pat on the back and tell us “good job”. So for today, I’m asking you to give yourself that pat on the back. Tomorrow you can take a look at what you didn’t achieve and set new goals.
Here’s a virtual toast to all your successes. And may you have many more to come.
Happy New Year!
Andrea J. Stenberg
