While I do enjoy winter activities, I must confess that a day like today with warm sun and no black flies is pretty much as good as it gets for me. After recuperating from a pesky cold hanging on for the last couple of weeks, being challenged by a busy week with clients and looking at an ever growing “to-do” list, I knew I had to review, renew, and reprioritize. I do this at the end of the week which helps me get focused and productive for the week ahead.

So what did I do? I gave myself permission to regenerate and re-energize myself first by taking time to enjoy this beautiful day.

How? I facilitated my Career Coaches Master Mind Group this morning while sitting outside, took a walk and caught up with a friend , and then practiced my QiGong by a bubbling brook.

At times like these I feel especially lucky to be a business owner. Reviewing, reflecting and starting anew comes with the territory. Business and life demands present me with numerous "opportunities" to reinvent myself throughout my business life. We must all periodically reassess in order to continue to grow. If it doesn't come naturally, finding useful tools to help you build resiliency will most certainly serve you well along the way.

So today, I thought I'd share with you my 3 questions in hopes it will help you move ahead this month, and every month.
1. What do you want to keep doing?
2. What do you want to stop doing?
3. What do you want to start doing?

I ask myself these questions at the end of each month and consider it to be part of my own “Month-end Closing” routine. Your answers to the 3 questions may not result in a full-on strategic plan for the month or year ahead, but I think they are another way to Empower yourself for Success and guide you to start where it's most important to start, from your gut and with your heart.

Now…Prioritize your work based on this guidance. What can (or did) you do to renew yourself this weekend? I’d enjoy hearing from you!
