New Year Nomenclature: 2021 “Soaring Eagle”
Like many people, I enjoy a good tradition.
Whether it is a grandiose tradition like the annual family vacation or a simple routine like weeknight family dinners, the “remember and repeat” activities carry much importance on celebrating the past and where we are going.
One tradition that is very similar to naming a new pet, car or ship; I name the new years.
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 I’ve use a simple nomenclature = action + animal name
For instance,
- 2019 – “Riding Tiger”
- 2020 – “Running Bear”
- 2021 – “Soaring Eagle”
In my experience the tradition of naming the new year has been at times inspirational, accurate and foreboding. 2020 “Running Bear” was right on the money.
Why is this important?
As entrepreneurs and business owners it is important to work in your business and on your business. The New Year Name helps me associate an idea larger than any 1 person and at the same time focus 100% on the action in front of me.
2021 will be a year of hard work and no short cuts but prime for new and continued growth.
A lot of people probably stopped reading and are hiding in there bedroom when I said “weeknight family dinners”, but for those of you who appreciate a tradition, I wish you a happy and safe New Year and best wishes in 2021.
