Welcome December
December is the last month of the year. Eleven months have already come and gone. The time will never return. The only time you have left is the 24 hours each day gives us. I’ve been preparing, praying and planning for what’s next for the past 3 months. It’s now time to get to prepare the people, systems and strategies for what’s next.
Reflection: What worked? What didn’t work? What do you plan to do in the future? What did you enjoy doing and can’t wait to do again. Who did you meet that you know could be access to a door of opportunity for the next phase in your life? So much reflection on the good, bad and the ugly but it is key to making smarter and much better decisions in the future. True reflection allows you opportunity to remember the past so that your future looks brighter. Reflection hopefully, should NOT make you bitter but better.
Re-Group: After reflection, I usually re-group. I spend a lot of time talking to God, my husband and key people in my life. I also talk to clients, other business people and start doing research on what worked for them and how I use this same information for myself. Then I re-group. I am tweaking my systems, strategies and resources to be put in the right place at the right time and for the right results. I strive to not repeat things that didn’t work and learn better ways to do it or don’t do it at all. There may be a ton of reasons why but mostly, it is not effective.
Re-Launch: Something that were done in the past were good but once you have reflected, re-grouped, it is now time to relaunch. You can re-launch the same product or service with new features or re-launch something totally new. One of the biggest problems with unexpected results or disappointing results is slowing down or quitting. The first gut reaction is this was a failure. Don’t ever try that again. But there are many factors that could have played into not getting the results that you expected.
Next Steps. Get some advice from an expert. Get training or take a class on the area that was disappointing and then get a coach to walk you through the process. Reflect on what you want. Re-Group with an expert, training or course and then Re-launch!
