[Message 1 of 3] Time for Reflection:

At this time between Christmas and New Year I always sit down to reflect on the year just gone and what I want for the year to come.

This year has definitely been different. Little did we know during the earlier part of the year what was in store for us but that all changed in the weeks leading up to the 23rd March 2020 (in the UK)!

For the first time in our lives we couldn't utter the words "I haven't got the time!". National Lockdown sorted that issue.

What did you do with this extra time?
(1) Watched the whole Netflix Catalogue
(2) Watched all 8 seasons of "Game of Thrones"
(3) Learned a new skill
(4) Pivoted your Business
(5) Lucky enough to be "Business as usual".

Money can buy most things but it can't buy time!

Many people did have the benefit of furlough.

Like myself, many entrepreneurs had to pivot and re-invent things - in the words of entrepreneur Jeff Hoffman: Re-purpose, Re-tool, Re-deploy.

Two of my daily habits are:
(1) Learn something new EVERY day
(2) Do something EVERY day that scares you (get yourself out of your comfort zone).

These habits definitely came to the fore this year!

Quote of 2020: "You're on mute!"
