Friday Thoughts (Jan 5-24): Consider this 2024 goal: no more 'what-ifs'.
The thought of getting old and looking back, seeing many things I wish I had tried, doesn't sit well with me.
Life, all aspects of it, is about living:
🔸 To try something and fail is to grow and learn.
🔸 To try something and succeed is to grow and celebrate.
That is not to say that you should try all things. It's also essential to make informed decisions.
I was offered a job at Cisco in San Diego years ago, and though I would have a lot more money in the bank if I had accepted it, I made an informed decision, based on many factors, that it was more important for me to stay in Canada at that time. No regrets.
Try things, people. Jump into the (informed) deep end. The worst that can happen is that you have to start over again with more experience than you had before.
Have a great weekend.

Welcome back to work, LinkedIners! I hope you've had a relaxing and happy holiday break.
Many of you are starting to wrap your head around how you will deliver on your function's commitments to the 2024 strategic plan. Your overarching drivers likely fall into one, or more, of these categories:
🔸 Revenue Growth
🔸 EBITDA Performance
🔸 M&A Integrations
🔸 Budget Changes
🔸 Market Expansion / Position
🔸 Product Adoption / Quality / TTM
🔸 Customer Experience
Success requires common language, understanding, and expectations to align the team, secure buy-in at all levels of the company and guardrail progress.
If your company does not have a common language model that aligns mindset and delivers a repeatable, measurable way of succeeding at complex initiatives, whether they are opportunities to capture or problems to solve, consider this your alert to adopt one.

Is there a carryover from 2023 or earlier?
What blocked success in previous years, and how will you sustainably change that in 2024?
What are the consequences of not making plan in 2024?
Many scaling businesses are facing challenging targets under reduced budgets due to the state of the global economy. Leaders still need to succeed, this is the way of business.
