Most of us are now just days away from the annual holiday business close down and thoughts are turning to getting some serious and much needed rest and relaxation after a busy entrepreneurial year. Last minute deals have hopefully been wrapped up, strategies are close to being finalised for 2018, projects on deadline are about to be delivered, so it’s now time to start planning how to make the most of the holiday period to regroup and get some perspective. It’s also a good time to catch up on some things you might have been putting off due to lack of time and energy over the past year. How about working on improving your personal brand, getting ready to position yourself in the most proactive way as a business founder in the new year? Or why not work on some thought leadership articles to improve your share of voice in the media around your area of expertise? It can be good for profile and business building. Or what about doing some new idea brainstorming and out-of-the-box thinking around possible new projects or business ideas for the year ahead? Get ready to recharge your creative mind, not just your energy levels during the holiday season.
