How to make 2021 a year of opportunity
A business associate of mine stopped me in the elevator the other day lamenting how quickly 2020 had passed without any new business opportunities. I told him that this was indeed unfortunate, but that he probably shouldn’t expect any for 2021 either. Stopped in his tracks, he looked at me with a combination of shock and consternation. Of course, I understood his reaction, so I began to explain that there’s simply no such thing as a year without new opportunities...
Contrary to what we’ve all been raised to believe, opportunities do not come knocking at our door. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that they don’t exist. On the contrary, opportunities are abound everywhere - but they aren’t going to show up at our doorstep. So how do we see them? By occasionally allowing ourselves to divert our energies from the daily grind. Once we lift our heads out of our never ending to-do lists, we’ll notice that there are bigger and greater things out there that have the potential to move us to the next level.
My New Year’s wish for all of us is that we’ll take the time to notice all of the exciting opportunities out there, making 2021 a year to remember.
And always remember:
Great managers are made. Not born.
