March is complete already!

It is so hard to believe that we are a quarter of the way through 2014 already.  As you get older, time really does fly.  I am trying to wonder what I have achieved so far this year and am afraid I will need to ponder this for a few days to come to a conclusion.  I know I am quite pleased with March and hope to achieve even more for April.

What have you accomplished for the first 3 months of 2014?
Have you met your goals and dreams so far?

It is time to take a few minutes and and reset your goals if you haven't quite achieved what you plan for yourself and your business or  family.

My mother has had a total hip replacement and we hope she will be home in the next couple of days.  Starting to move quite well  and is gaining confidence every day.  So my next few weeks will be more focused on her needs.

The government is giving out statistics for the last 100 days & whilst I am not nor want to be the government it is a good idea to break the year into sections to assess & evaluate your life, family and career.  If plans aren't quite going the way you want then you still have time to give thought to what you want changed to make life the way you would like.  Although I do not agree with the government and their boat policy and the reason they are cheering their 100 days, it does give us food for thought  about what we can achieve in 100 days.
NOTE: You can always break it down even further if you wish, 50 days / monthly / weekly but if you do it too often you will be constantly analysing and not achieving.

Remember to smile on Tuesday for National Smile Day.
