It’s The First

It’s The First

 

On The First

 

A beginning.

 

Progress.

 

An effort that continues.

 

There are lots of things associated with the first.  

 

Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.

 

Tony Robbins

 

More than 100 days have passed in 2016.

 

Are you wondering where the year has gone?  I imagine you are not alone.

 

I don’t believe in making resolutions so there’s no need to worry about breaking unrealistic or unachievable quasi-plans.   

 

But I do have goals.  

 

For business and personal too.

 

Yes, it’s nice to reflect...but for me it’s all about moving forward.

 

I can’t predict the future but I do have an approach in place that moves me in the right direction. Sometimes refining is necessary.

 

That is what is first on my list.  Everyday.  And not just on the first.  

 

How about you?

Michael,  I admit I have been in and out of a slumpy-like-dunky-funk for a month or so. I'm coming out of it with focus and determination.  ONE of the things that is helping with my mindset is to write detailed plans of what I will do each and every day. It's working... even without the damn pie

Michael- I've never been one to make resolutions either.  I have a goal each day that I wake up and that is to be a better person than I was yesterday.

Every day, we count our actions, not our transactions. We do have a business  plan, but live in the moment with our energy focused on our tomorrows. Don't know how else to do it without going nuts. ;)

Michael, I'm in complete agreement with you. Goals and plans are great, one thing for sure, past belongs just there, no room for it in the future.

What was weird was typing out listing agreements yesterday and putting the termination date as November 2. I always write them for 6 months, just in case, I hate extra paperwork, but November? That's a little frigtening . . .

The first part of the year wasn't as amazing as I had hoped, but there's the rest of the year to make up for it.  The action is in place to get it all humming along.
