As 2009 Ends… Are You Hibernating?
2009 has been such a challenging year in so many ways. It was a perfect storm. I do not have to tell you that… because you lived it. Based on many conversations I have had, many say they are just going to coast in and get ready for 2010.
Yes, I too feel I have run uphill 90 miles an hour this entire year and would enjoy a long slumber.
Before we settle down for a long winter’s nap, and have visions of sugar-plums dance in our heads. We need to rethink this holiday season.
No matter how much we hope, do not expect just going to sleep through the end of the year will bring better results once you awake, just like dormant grass will rejuvenate in the spring.
Although I feel them… I do not think that is the best course of action right now. We need to FINISH the year with a Twinkling.
The best teams know that the fourth quarter is as important as the other three combined… You are tired, physically and mentally. It can not only take a lousy game (or year) and make it ring with victory, it can make all the hard work you put forth worth it. I always say, it is not how you start the race, but rather how you finish. We celebrate finishers… Hitting a walk off homerun, hitting the shot with 1 second on the clock or draining the putt to win. What we do in the clutch at the end is how we are measured.
So I hope you will put down the hammer with me… Keep the throttle high. Elevate your energy. FINISH. The great news is there is hope. People are excited about 2010. Prospects & Customers are melting and actually excited to talk to you for the first time in a long time.
Even though the end of the year is not the finish line, run through it and get a head start on 2010.
