The Countdown to Seasonality - Are you ready?

You've got to listen to the voice in your gut. It is individual. It is unique. It is yours.
It's called being authentic.
Meredith Vieira

If only a button on our keyboards reminded us to listen to our inner voice! *sigh* There is no button, but that shouldn't slow you down.

We're only five weeks from April, typically the start of spring seasonality. So, regardless of your specialty, what are you planning for your business?  

Several times over the years, I lacked the confidence to tackle a new project. I'd ask just about everybody I knew for their opinion, afraid to decide on my own. But as I got older, I still needed advice, but I learned to trust my gut and listen to my heart.

So, take some time NOW and think through your short-term plans for your business. The clock isn't going to slow down, but there's time to change plans if something just doesn't feel right. You need to focus on the long term too, but for now, with Mother's Day, prom, graduation, and Father's Day all coming up, you need to be ready.

Proofread your ideas and plans like you'd spell-check something you're writing. There's something unique that happens when you "proofread" one more time - you catch things you might do better. It's not about fixing things that might be wrong but discovering better ways to tackle a project.

As always, you know where to find me if you need a sounding board!
