Personal Accountability

“Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don't need to escape from.” 
― Seth Godin

It's a great thing to set your goals and have them written down and visible. Too often, though, we set unreachable goals and become so focused on them we forget our "now" -- our "present reality".

We focus on that dream vacation, or that new car, or new home but forget that we are struggling to make ends meet, or struggling in a personal relationship that is hindering our forward progress toward the goal, or that something needs to be done to fix our business, or increase sales so the goal is truly reachable.

Choose today to figure out where you stand personally and professionally. Write down where you are in your personal relationships and set three small, specific achievable goals to improve them.  Make it YOUR responsibility. Do what YOU need to do to be kind, generous and compassionate. Then do the same  for your professional life.

Be a memorable, remarkable person TODAY!
