Chapter 1: A Year Like No Other
The year 2021 was marked by its own set of challenges and opportunities. Rather than signaling the end of the pandemic, it turned into another year filled with familiar hurdles. Many businesses, including my own, embraced new operational methods, which is evident in the articles we’ll discuss.
Numerous entrepreneurs I know managed to refine their processes, not only surviving but thriving amid these conditions. This year also taught us the value of generosity. I expressed my gratitude to my employees through verbal acknowledgment and additional incentives, recognizing their efforts in driving our primary business back to profitability.
Reflecting on the year, my main business rebounded strongly, recovering losses from 2020, while my other venture merely broke even. Yet, we are learning from these experiences, and that’s what made 2021 so engaging.
Here are the most popular articles that encapsulate my experiences, insights from fellow entrepreneurs, and significant global occurrences throughout this remarkable year.
