Sitting outside on these cool crisp mornings, it reminds me that seasons are changing and Autumn is here. The weather is changing where I am and the world is waking up slower it seems. It is beautiful. But I worry that this can be a much more stressful time for people, there is certainly not less to do – but there are less daylight hours to do it in.
Fall time is now here and it seems that the weeks begin to go faster, all speeding up toward the Holidays. Have you sat down and thought about the holidays yet? It’s only October, I bet you haven’t. And that’s ok! If you have, I hope that you have some personal as well as business goals in mind.
This can be a very difficult season to focus in. Yes, I know we are just coming out of Summer which can also be difficult to focus since the kids are out of school and there are vacations to take and fun to be had. But if you are expecting life to become slow and easy during the Fall – you will likely have another thing coming. 🙂 And it’s better to sit down and plan than to be blindsided and then wonder come December, why your business checks aren’t paying for the Holiday festivities like you had hoped months ago.
I would encourage you to think through some personal and business goals that you would like to accomplish before the holidays/end of year. Sometimes is can be very difficult to come up with what exactly you are trying to work toward… don’t let that stop you from moving! If you aren’t positive what you want yet, maybe you just have a foggy idea… keep moving, it will get clearer the closer you get to it.
Remember make your goals – SMART!
Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, Time-targeted
Give yourself clear action items for how you will reach your goal, with due dates.
Think of where you could be if you take this time today and then follow the plan! Tell me what you’re planning and I would love to cheer you along!
Have an outstanding day!!
Much success,
Sara
