Let’s enjoy 2019! and be a little more green and mindful Happy 2019. I’ve learnt that most people fit into two camps when it comes to acknowledging a New Year and the concept of setting New Years resolutions. They either embrace them and jump in with the zeal of someone slightly demented( I’m probably in that camp) or they sideline the opportunity, comfortable in the knowledge that the year will be what it will be and that no amount of forced change,good intent or actions can be carried out for 12 whole months on a wish alone. In fact an American survey conducted in 2018 found that up to 32% of people don’t set any form of resolution at all seeing little value in the process and no likelihood of an outcome. I’ve never been able to see things through the lens of relax, breathe then wait and see but I’m aware that for some individuals that is a positive choice, however in business this could see you falter. Things change, markets move either up or down, client expectations grow, technology progresses forward and expectations get bigger year on year. A new year gives you the chance to really take stock, to review where you’ve been, I always do this with someone I trust implicitly, and then work out where you want to go. You can consider the challenges, the game changes, the small wins and the larger victories. They will all be there and each of “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you” PRINCESS DIANA these will provide great insights as to what comes next. That’s where the resolutions come in or they do for me. Statistically the most common resolutions involve : weight loss ( been there) and let’s face it who hasn’t, eat healthier (another tick)exercise, read more, make more, save more it’s always something more. Bill Gates once said “ most people overestimate what they can do in a year and underestimate what they can do in ten”. This year personally and in business I’m mindful of the word and nature of less. As a company it’s got us focused on some of the finer aspects of less. Less paper, less waste, less stress, more community involvement, and more mindfulness. I’m looking forward to it and I’m heartened by the fact all of us are aware of the need to be kinder to ourselves, our community and our planet. So those are some of my resolutions but I couldn’t go into 2019 with out some of the old favourites (which I’ll keep to myself )but I will finally give up on backing a trailer or worse the boat!! No amount of intention will change the fact that I’m terrible! Whatever school you subscribe to all the best for 2019, it will be no surprise that the year will be what ever You expect it to be.
