No Time to Kick Back...

No Time to Kick Back...
     The old year is behind us and a new year has dawned. So now what? Many of us, filled with renewed enthusiasm and hopes that this year will be OUR year, recapitulate our business plans that have undoubtedly been revised for the umpteenth time.
     This year, I am doing a new twist to my business plan. Not only do I have it written, but I have it in mind movie format. I play it every morning when I consume my daily cups of "the elixir of life" and while laying in bed before I put the wraps on another day.
What I find interesting is, ideas and concepts just seem to pop into my head from out of the blue. One of my plans this year is to give thought and credence to these "hunches". Sometimes, the subconscious knows and sees what the conscious doesn't.
   For me, now is no time to kick back. It is time for me to take the lead and let others follow; so get out of my way, I'm a commin' through...

I firmly believe in those hunches and follow them! They seem to come from many sources. There was a time I used to look forward to my dreams at night because of what I would come up with in the morning!

Now, with glaucoma medicine and weird dreams, that part of the process doesn't work the same!

What kind of shoes are those in the picture? It is amazing how the subconscious keeps working on a problem Michael.

Michael, I think it's funny how the brain is crunching away in the background to provide those "hunches". We don't always recognize that subconscious work being done to put us in the right place for success. We had a hunch for some time that the patio home niche might be a good blog field, and the more we do with it, the more calls we get. Just another hunch working out right :)

This is the year whether you approach it one day at a time or one week at a time! No time to get lazy or complacent. This is the year to explore those thoughts. Have a pad of paper and a pen next to your bed or a tape recorder. Enjoy your day! We are looking forward to you sharing some of your great ideas!

Michael, your intuition is the culmination of all your education, knowledge and experience... always listen to yourself first and last... btw, are those shoes as comfortable as they look?

I am still working on my plans and goals for this year. I took a sixty day leave of absence during November and December to focus on the thing we enjoy. Dolores and I plan to spend this year on the same efforts to spend time doing what we want to do for personal pleasure. Our associates will be taking care of our clients.
