So the end of the year and looming and it is always a time of reflection for me. What did I learn in 2009 and what will I do differently in 2010???
1) I will not work as many hours anymore. I love what I do but working 14+ hours a day, 7 days a week will cause burn-out.
2) I will hire more quickly next time. In my arrogance of thinking only I can do everything as good as I do and only I care so much for these people, it took me awhile to realize that there are others that can do it better than I can and that I can hire them to do it.
3) With hiring other people it gives me time to help even more people. The cycle becomes a good one in that more will be helped when I get more help.
4) Taking time for me is not selfish. This one is so hard for me but I am working on it.
5) You can not help those that are not willing to help themselves. Man, I hate this one and let me tell you I have cried alot of tears over this one.
6) There is always a bright side... you just may have to turn it upside down to find it.
7) Work with your strengths. I am very empathetic.... and then I am just pathetic when it comes to technology. That is OK. I have someone else to deal with technology and I will deal with the people.
8) When I actually focus on my 20% it amazing what I can accomplish!
I hope that everyone has a very special holiday season. 2010 is going to be great for me and I hope it will also be great for you!
