3 Things to Leverage going into 2021

We are 7 weeks away from 2021. Seven. It's a mix of 'how-is-that-even-possible' and 'hallelujah' for most. Whether you need to maintain or grow or change, there are 3 things you can leverage to begin 2021 with some momentum.

1. Learning Opportunities

2. Small Wins

3. Data

Learning Opportunities. If there is a list of things to celebrate about the last 12 months, the abundance of learning opportunities is at the top of it. Inventory what you’ve learned. Seeing it written/typed out will help you connect the dots and draft future plans.

Small Wins. The world moves fast even when it pauses. In survival mode, it is easy to glaze over the small wins - things that may not have radically disrupted your business/customer/industry/career/community, but need to be acknowledged as a success. This pause can rebuild your motivation and confidence amidst the chaos and challenges.

Data. This may take a little longer than the first two, but there is significant ROI on time spent understanding your data. Social media insights, inventory movement, customer feedback is all a gift. Don’t have data? That’s ok because with a little research and help from local resources you can always find something that will fuel your strategy for 2021.
