I've been trading a couple of facebook jabs with some of my friends in warmer climates like Long Beach California.  James Bridges posted that he was going to play tennis last night and that it was cold.  Looking at the weather in SOCAL it was 48 degrees down there vs our 21 degrees and a foot of snow here in Bellingham Washington.  That being said I think I've been a lot more productive in the last 24 - 48 hours due to the sheer fact that the snow is keeping everyone at home...  Why is that good?  Business Planning...

It's so much easier to do business plans up when the distractions are at a minimum.  When I'm in Bellingham I tend to go to the office every day and of course there are always distractions.  Someone has a client challenge (a coaching moment), the gossip (water cooler stuff), and then other people who simply drop by the office the I talk with ultimately means that I live my life in Quadrant I (7 habits) while at the office on most day.  I end up doing Quadrant II activities when I'm at home.  My daughters now spend most of their time in the rec room, or texting their friends, doing homework or watching YouTube videos or playing video games.  They are becoming "independent" as much as they can so parents are the necessary evil in their lives to growing up.

Anyway all that said, I've been able to focus on multiple integrated business plans pretty much non-stop for the last few days and its amazing how focused 2009 is becoming.  Taking the ideas from my head and putting them on paper and ultimately figuring out what resources we have and what we need to complete our goals for next year is something that for the most part needs to be done in isolation.

So the upside is that all this Snow is insuring that we have the 2009 possible...  Of course to execute on said plan we will have to wait for the snow to thaw.

All the Best,
