2018 is almost in the books, and most businesses have had a year full of ups and downs, exciting events, redirection in life and a lot of learning.
Before the year ends, people usually put together New Year’s resolutions – traits you want to change, goals you want to achieve, and career milestones to strive for.
Instead of making the usual New Year’s resolution, broken in a few weeks, why not take time to reflect and have an honest conversation with yourself?
As you look back, have the courage to face what has happened in your business. Look with your eyes wide open, so you can see things from a different perspective and grow towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life and business.
Why do you need to do a year in review?
- To be conscious of your weaknesses
- To end the vicious cycle of committing the same mistakes
- To have a different way of seeing your progress and development
- To know if you need to seek help
- To start believing in yourself so you can change and trust your ability to grow
