Chinese New Year brings a new beginning, and this year, it is the Year of the Monkey. It may not seem really important to some entrepreneurs, but now is the time to take risks.
Indeed, according to the Chinese beliefs, this sign is all about innovation, motivation and accomplishment. Everything is possible, as the Monkey never rests.
Although this year is supposed to favor pranksters, it is the time for entrepreneurs to think outside the box and let their creativity flow. This year should thus open a lot of possibilities for businesses that dare to go beyond the established borders. However, sometimes, by wanting to go too far, it can backfire, and entrepreneurs need to pause.
According to the Chinese beliefs, it is also time to evolve and overthrow old conventions that no longer work. Whether it's a change in your company’s hierarchy or in your company’s vision: it's time for change.
Of course, not everything is going to go smoothly. As taking risks will be the biggest opportunity for entrepreneurs, they are called risks for a reason. The trap is to get too excited and want to go too far, so in the end, loose more than expected. This is why decisions this year have to be ruled by facts and analysis, not by emotion. Nothing should be taken for granted, especially for a company.
Astrology and Business typically belong to two different spheres. But in the end, we will never know if it is relevant to consider them together, before the end of the year. In a nutshell, this year will be what you make of it. Entrepreneurs will still re-invent the future and, maybe thanks to the Monkey, find the innovation for tomorrow.
On your end, what do you think this year will be all about? As an entrepreneur, will you follow the innovation flow and take risks, like the Monkey?
