Often times during the last quarter of the year, we get super lax in how we do things. We get overwhelmed by the holidays, lose focus and totally stress. We lose all of our productivity and backslide on things. What would happen, if instead, we used these last days of 2018 to push ourselves to our strongest finish line? What if we all reset our focus for the last 100 days of the year? What if we pushed to see what we could truly accomplish, so that when we start the New Year, our habits and lives are already in motion rather than waiting until January 1st to kick off goals?
During these last days, let's approach the end of the year just like successful companies do. Think about it! At the first of the year, they established their goals/focus and plan for the expected results for their Board, Shareholders and Customers. We, as individuals, do this with our New Year Resolutions. During the year, most companies and people experience victories as well as setbacks. It's in how companies address those items that determine their success. They don't have one failure then simply throw in the towel and stop what they are doing. They don't get towards the end of the year and just say, "Eh, let's wait until Jan 1 to do anything." Instead, they remain agile and shift their focus. There may be a product or a line of business that isn’t growing as projected, so they look for alternative ways to push growth so that they end the year on an uptick. During these evaluations, they may discover things that are performing better than anticipated, so they evaluate those items to see how those successes can fuel success in other areas. For the last quarter or last 100 days, they will evaluate where they are, where they need to be and then make changes and push where necessary.
