I think I can safely say that we are all glad to say goodbye to 2020 – what a mess of a year in so many ways.
But, as with all challenging situations, there were a lot of good lessons to take from the year.
I found ten lessons from 2020 that I thought were particularly valuable for entrepreneurs. Here they are:
- Life isn’t fair! Or, it’s brutally fair, depending on how you look at it.
- Only the paranoid survive – Andy Grove.
- Survivors practice the Stockdale Paradox.
- Bite-sized short-term goals are sometimes better than big visions.
- Own your communication channel to your customers. Here’s your role model…
- Simple, repeatable messages win. Let me say that again…simple, repeatable messages win. Just to be sure I’m clear here: simple, repeatable messages win. 😉
- Fully leverage the Internet and automation…or have a REALLY GOOD strategic reason why you aren’t!
- Be ready for rainy days. Here’s how…
- If you have your health, you have everything.
- Carpe Diem.
I hope they are as valuable for you as they were for me!
All the best,
Mike Cooch
