I celebrated my birthday this weekend. June 4th. It’s probably my favorite day of the year.  Our birthdays are important days for us.  It’s interesting to me how Facebook helps bring out some old friendship connections.  I love hearing from everyone–who doesn’t?

As I do every year, I like to take some time and reflect on my life–where I am, what am I doing, etc.  I also use the time to regroup on my goals for the remaining portion of the year and what I need to do long term.  Birthdays are very personal for all of us.  Another lap around the sun and to many more!

I love the quote “life is like a roll of toilet paper.” It seems true, but as they say,  “It is what it is.”  The important thing is to focus on where we are and how much of the roll is left, how long can we extend the roll through healthy and productive living, and how are we are going to use the rest of the roll for something meaningful, profitable, and fulfilling.

My birthday is almost the halfway point for the year as well.  It is a great time for the Q2 push for ourselves and our businesses.

Take time now in early June to look at where you are and where you expected to be and make a push to finish the first half of the year strong.  I do a simple first half assessment personally and with all my clients.  Start thinking about your business plan and start developing your second half year plan.  More on that as we close out the quarter.

Thanks for the birthday wishes and cheers to a great year ahead!
