Five Keys to Doing Well This Year

1. Make time for your family - its a a non-negotiable.

2. Be Involved - be inventive with your involvement.

3. Be Focused - setting realistic milestones.

4. Try, Try and Try Again - Persistence.

 

5. Create a personal project.

 

 

This is a great year to launch that little side project you’ve been dreaming about. A side business? Learn a new skill/ language? Sewing, knitting, perhaps painting? Whatever it may be create some time in your schedule to start chipping away at it, come up with a plan and set goals for the year. Your side project can also be a great source of enjoyment and stress relief. Talk the project out with your close friends and consider their ideas and suggestions, it could even turn into a collaborative project.

 

It’s a great feeling to have completed something that is 100% yours.  Your very own masterpiece!

Love to hear about your successes; Call me!

 

 

On the family front… our two precious grandchildren are coming this week end from Darwin and all their winter clothes are packed away. Would anybody have some warm clothing for a 19 month little girl and a 3 year old little boy to borrow rather than us hitting the shops for the 5 days they are here? They arrive late Friday night! Thanks so much for your assistance.
