The Entrepreneur’s Playbook for a Big 2020: Part 1
Rebecca Appleton • 7 January 2020
New Year, new me is a bit too cliché isn’t it? How about New Year, new ambition?
f you need an excuse to get motivated and start making some progress on your goals and ambitions, then what better than the start of a new decade?
Set yourself up for success with an over arching plan for how you’re going to progress yourself and your new mobile app development agency business in 2020 with our playbook of how to get the most out of the first year of the new decade.
1. Write Down Your Goals
This goes for the playbook as a whole but also something you should start thinking about monthly, weekly or even daily. Write down your goals for the time period ahead - actually put pen to paper and outline what it is you’re setting out to achieve. Let it sink in while creating a list which should ideally be prioritised.
No more flimsy promises to yourself, make a plan and follow it to ensure you start ticking off items on your road to a more successful year.
2. Learn Something
This can be business or personal, or perhaps a happy mixture of both. Find something you want to take time to learn. A new skill, indulging a talent, an educational course or perhaps learning more about part of your business you don’t currently work hands on with.
The moral of the story is to challenge yourself and grow as a persona and a skillset. Don’t exit 2020 without at least one significant area of learning completed.
3. Give Negativity the Dodge
Negativity can be poisonous and weigh you down. It’s also infectious if you’re surrounded by it too often. Negativity can come in many forms from TV, other media, slander stories, environments and most commonly people. Avoid anyone who puts down your ideas or who only ever has negativity to contribute. Surrounding yourself with positivity and ‘can do’ attitudes will likewise be infectious and something you’ll be happy you caught.
4. Holidays
Now we don’t mean you need to fly away for a month to Thailand to evaluate your life one two-dollar massage at a time. What we do mean is making time to have a break and end the relentless cycle of the modern-day entrepreneur who is ‘always on’. It’s exhausting being alert and focussed 24/7. You need to give your mind and body time to catch up.
Ambition is a great weapon when it comes to heading for success but it’s dangerous to your health and your progress overall not to allow yourself down time and recovery. Make time for it the same way you would anything else on your agenda.
