What is the Visual for 2021?
The year is visualized as beautiful jewels encased in ice or freshly dug out from the icycold ground. The frozen and cool jewels are mysterious and admired.
They appear cool and reserved, almost beyond reach.
The good news is there are “diamonds in the dirt” to be discovered in 2021.
However to benefit from 2021, a new mindset needs to be cultivated.
We need to dig in the correct field to find these diamonds.
Here are my 3 top tips to maximize your success in 2021.
1) It all starts with NEW thoughts!
Problems this year will be solved with new ways of thinking. The old thinking patterns will no longer work. There will be new discoveries, new solutions, new successes when the thinking patterns change; New ideas, New products, New ways of Business, New ways of living. A year to develop strong intuition and instinct. Creativity in 2021 will be high, however communication skills will be lacking. There is a feeling of preferring to hold back and not share with others.
2) Specialize
Specialize, do not generalize this year. Do not try to be good at everything. There is a need to focus on the Value you add to the world, providing solutions that are practical and that work. Many companies will want to shine, to stand out from the crowd and to be seen. Over confidence can lead to downfalls this year. Ensure the foundations are strong on which you are building the confidence.
3) Sensitivities
An emotional year and one where people do not take rejection well. Words can heal or harm, remember this in 2021. Bitter words are hurtful and once issued they cannot be taken back. Separate the issue from the person. Lead with kindness and sensitivity in 2021. Become more “human”. If Ego is high, then people become fearful, destructive and behind the scene events start to happen. The leader becomes more isolated, loses respect and is plotted against. Be hard on the issues and soft on the people
Covid will remain with us for the duration of 2021, and the vaccine will feature prominently.
Turbulent times are still ahead and so managing cash flow and considering different business models will be critical.
There will be a feeling of “every man/woman for herself” in 2021 and so team building, opening communication channels and encouraging sharing will be critical.
