Naming the New Year: 2023 “Hungry Hummingbird”
Like many people, I enjoy a good tradition.
Whether it is a familiar tradition like the family vacation or nightly family dinners, One of our favorite Traditions is Naming the New Year.
The New Year Name is chosen before the new year starts and will reflect important plans, challenges, obstacles, etc. ahead in the New Year.
Typically We’ve used a simple nomenclature = action + name
For instance,
- 2019 – “Riding Tiger”
- 2020 – “Running Bear”
- 2021 – “Soaring Eagle”
- 2022 – “Hanging Man”
- 2023 – “Hungry Hummingbird”
Why is this important?
In my experience, the tradition of naming the New Year has been at times inspirational, accurate and foreboding.
2022 “Hanging Man”, for example, was pretty accurate when compared to the ferocious reverse of primary trends in Housing and Stock Markets.
As entrepreneurs and business owners, it is important to work IN your business as well as work ON your business. The New Year name helps us associate an idea larger than any 1 person and at the same time focus 100% on the work at hand.
2023 “Hungry Hummingbird” will be a year of restless hovering, extreme territorialism and mass migration. Much like a Hungry Hummingbird, Smart Business will only pursue positive-cash-flow opportunities OR move on to the next flower.
A lot of people probably stopped reading when I said “nightly family dinners”, but for those of you who appreciate a tradition, We wish you a happy and safe New Year and best wishes in 2023.
