2007 is 1/4 Done - Where Are You?

A few days until the end of March and "Spring has sprung," as they say. Time sure flies. Now that we are a quarter of the way through the year, it’s a perfect time to look at your goals. How are you doing with your business goals?

Me personally, I’m feeling pretty organized and on track. I’ve been cleaning house, like I mentioned yesterday and it’s amazing what a few changes can do. I have gotten more organized and accomplished quite a bit so far this year and it feels great.

If you are on track with your goals, congratulations! Keep up the momentum. If you’re running a bit behind, that’s ok too. Just don’t lose your focus and buckle down.

Sometimes the warmer weather makes it too easy for us to walk away from our business more. I’m all for enjoying more time away from the computer, but don’t leave your business hanging by a string in the process or you just may come back to a mess you didn’t intend to create.

Here are some tips for staying on track with your goals, while enjoying the nice weather too.

- Schedule time each week to spend on your business. Determine what tasks need to be done in order to reach your goals and pencil that time into your days. Even if it’s only 15 minutes a day, don’t stop working completely.

- Use rainy days to your advantage. April showers are a given, so when you find yourself stuck inside for a day, use that time to get ahead on your goals, then when the sun comes out again, you’ll have extra time to spend outdoors.

- Take your laptop with you. I don’t recommend you do this every single day, but if you have a small task that can be done on your laptop in a few minutes, why not take it with you? Once you’ve completed that particular task, unplug and relax.

- Outsource some of the work. You didn’t think I was going to leave this one out did you? :) If you’ve got things that take up a lot of time like submitting articles or creating graphics, hire someone else to do them for you. You can find someone who specializes in those areas and won’t need to spend as much time on them as you might, leaving both of you with plenty of time to get away for a bit.

Business doesn’t have to take a halt just because the weather is nice, but that also doesn’t mean you have to enjoy the sunshine from inside in order to keep your business moving forward. Feel free to leave any tips you have for having some fun in the sun, without neglecting your business in the process.
