I want you to be successful in 2023.

2023 is here and I want you to have the most successful year humanly possible and if you watch this video Until the End I'm going to give you a step by step on how that you could do that this is what I do every single year at this time I'm going to give you my personal formula of how you should be thinking how you should be organized and how you should go about the very first weeks of the new year so right now everybody's focused on the future 2023 we're excited about it it's good I'm happy that everybody is excited but in order to know where you are going in 2023 you have to First Take stock and take inventory on what happened in 2022 you have to look at what worked and more importantly you have to look at what didn't work because a lot of times you get caught up making mistakes let me give you an example of a mistake two mistakes that we made this year that we're not going to make in 2023 so we went to these conferences that weren't directly related to the industries that we were currently servicing and that cost me time that cost me money that cost me energy and most importantly that cost me morale right when you go to a conference and you don't succeed there that hurts that's things all right so we are not going to be making that mistake again we are looked backwards and we said what worked in 2022 what didn't work in 2022 and based on that we're formulating our plans to go forward in 2023 so let me tell you something that did work for us last year was focusing in on our specific Niche our industry that we've done for the past half decade which is filming nursing homes in the United States of America that has been our bread and butter for the past five or six years so we when we sat down to plan for 2023 we said what has worked predominantly for us how do we pour gasoline on this fire another thing that came up for us I'm not telling you this just to you know uh brag or to tell you what's going on in my life but I'm showing you how we look how I looked at myself how I looked at my companies so that you could begin looking at yourself like this something interesting happened to us in 2022 which was our clients started giving us mandates to find them employees for their companies you know we service so many clients on the video end of it we service so many clients on the uh coaching end of it and they started reaching out to us hey we need talented cos CFOs sales people whatever you know managers whatever it is can you help us find it I know that you guys have a big Network so this sort of came to us and we started generating Revenue in our business from finding employees so when we're going into 2023 this is something that is on my radar very very seriously we're going to be building out with God's help a new division of our business that's going to be focused exclusively on Executive recruiting and the only way that I was able to make that determination was by looking backwards in order to look forward so you got to take your year you got to see what worked got to see what didn't work and got to move forward and by the way pencil to paper right we did this in my company we did this exercise we sat together the executives in the company we opened up a shared Google Document and we wrote out our plan for the year what worked what didn't work what business you want to expand what business we want to contract not all businesses good business there's a lot of business that takes Your Eye Off the Ball not all clients are good clients there's a lot of clients that take your eye off of the ball so we sat down together with a Google Document nothing fancy we're not talking with nobody in my in my organization graduated from Harvard nobody even barely graduated from high school okay but we sat down and we created a road map of where we would like to go in 2023 it still boggles my mind how many people are operating in their businesses their lives without a road map and by the way that road map can change don't get me wrong it's not set in stone I think one of the reasons why people are scared to make a road map is because they know that things change so what does that mean that they failed in their roadmap no your map can change but you have to have a general idea of where it is that you're going you have to have a general consensus amongst the people that you're working with what direction are we going in and now you might say to me Barrel you know this is easy for you to say you have a big company you have employees you have the revenue you have sales you have a social media what about me I'm starting out I'm fresh I have to be Scrappy I have to be you know I have to I have to take anything that I can get and to you wherever you might be standing I'm gonna say the same exact thing to you as well you have to you have to have a plan time even if that plan on your one-page document it says Scrappy by the way that's a big thing I mentioned that one page document you do not need a 40 page business plan you need a one pager all right one page two pages three pages Max write it on the back of a napkin if you have to but get some direction for your 2023 so that this time next year when we go into 2024 you could say I killed it I knocked it out of the park I had the best year ever I'm so grateful to the one above and I'm pulling for you to see success in the future so again just to summarize look back put the shovel down assess what you have been building and take this time to reassess which direction and be intentional about where you would like to go in
