The Homward Stretch...

By
Home Inspector with Complete Home Inspections, Inc. TN Lic#050

This morning is the beginning of a new day and the beginning of the final stretch for 2013. While I will not say it's back to the daily grind, it is but it isn't. I know, it's one of those oxymorons that really doesn't make sense but it does. Gosh! There I go again! Contradicting myself.
Although business does go on in the "usual sense", it will take on a new twist after today. Taking a page out of Anthony Robbins book, yesterday's plane ride was spent writing out implementation procedures for what I would like to accomplish the rest of this year and in the beginning of next year. While I feel it is okay to write things out on a computer, there is something special about hand writing one's goals.
I am looking forward with renewed energy to make the most out of the remaining six weeks of this year. Gosh! It's hard to believe that there is so little time remaining and so much to do. I guess time is fun when one is on the fly.

Good morning Michael,

I always hand-write my business plan too! There is something more meaningful when it's completed! My plan is in place and 2014 is going to be filled with great business but some very special trips that we are making happen!!

Michael, I so agree with you!  Have you bought Melissa Zavala's book yet ...the daily planner...she is doing a webinar for AR today.  It is a great planning tool to bounce you back each day to business goals.

Michael, in attempting to adapt to the computer age I still outline my thought the old fashioed way before adapting to technology! Enjoy your day!

Michael, there is nothing wrong with creating a plan and setting the path to follow it. I do prefer a written outline as it is so much easier than opening up the computer to see the objective

Hi Michael.

Amazing how fast the year goes by. Seems like we are just getting going then it is August. The we are at years end before you even know it.

I hope all works out for you and I should hear about the project we talked about last week. To date no word yet.

Have a good day in Brentwood.

Best, Clint McKie

Michael the time does seem to go by very quickly which is why it is so important to have a clear plan of what we want to do to help us stay on task and not waste any of those valuable minutes.

Hi Michael.  Not having a written plan means failure.
