We are now up and running in the New Year. Over the past few weeks you may have reflected on your accomplishments in 2017. I wonder, though, if you have looked at where you are – big picture?
Yes, we all need to know if we’ve reached our sales goals, made real progress paying off debt, built meaningful relationships and all of that. But more importantly, are you where you want to be right now? You may be where you wanted to be 5, or even 2 years ago but is that still true? I’m talking about personally and professionally. Sometimes meeting goals is exactly perfect and propels you to the next phase of where you want to go. Sometimes, reaching goals gives you time to pause and reflect on how that particular goal has changed you and your life.
Where are you going now and is that still really where you want to be or is it time for a shift? Has your personal or professional life evolved along with you, or without you - and is that OK? It may take you a minute or the whole year to figure that out. But that’s just how it’s supposed to be.
2018 is sure to bring lots of new and exciting opportunities and maybe even a few curveballs. Embrace it, keep moving. You’ve got this.
When it comes to your business, YES understands you have hopes and dreams, and lots of goals for 2018. We are a community of like-minded business people with purpose. If you haven’t been to one of our events lately, I’d like to personally invite you to the March 1 CEO Symposium. Click on the "Events" tab to register. Are you on our email list? Click the "Join" tab or "Contact Us" and we'll update you periodically on YES events.
