The reflective nature of the holiday season and symbolism of the New Year provide the opportunity to highlight achievement and focus attention on the priorities ahead. Taking full advantage of looking back at the previous months as a time of review can give a new perspective for the year ahead.
As we begin to look forward to the challenges of a new year, make time to evaluate what we have done during this year. What has worked and what did not. Make those less successful attempts a learning lesson. With this in mind it makes it easier to set goals for the coming year. One could imagine climbing a mountain is hard, so why not consider short-term goals for the coming year? They can be much more achievable and a great way to build momentum. Set your “attitude” on small victories. An attitude indicator is an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of the orientation of the aircraft relative to the horizon. What is your attitude indicator telling you? Are you flying blindly without the benefit of instruments?
Make this a time to take inventory. How is your level of commitment? Do you feel the service provided to your clients is better than your competitor? Do you suffer from lack of follow up? Do you know your clients needs? Practice listening, you can open many doors with three little words, “tell me more”. Finally, take a breath before the New Year begins. There is much work to be done but a little time off to enjoy the season with family and friends can be very rejuvenating.
The team at Xynergy wishes all of you a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.
