It’s ok to cut and run from things that were dragging you down
Take the areas where you saw success and double down
Make minor improvements/adjustments to your plan of attack
Don’t rethink and redo your strategic plan every year
Keep measuring and making adjustments as you go… don’t wait an entire year to
evaluate your efforts
What worked last year? What didn’t?
