The Rearview Mirror

A Day In The Life | 0 comments

It’s the first day of April!

I hope you take a moment to pause this week and do one thing for me.

Look back over the past 3 months (Q1) and take account of your time and investments you made in your business.

In my business, I call this “Looking in the Rearview Mirror.”

What action(s) did you take and what bricks did you add to your business wall?

The effort we make in our businesses is never wasted…

It’s an investment, that compounds over time!

We tend to overestimate what we can accomplish in a day/week.

Yet, we grossly underestimate what we can accomplish in a year.

Business growth is a marathon, not a sprint.

It’s determination to go in one direction over an extended period of time.

Victories rarely come in the form of major breakthroughs.

Rather, we (and our businesses) get stronger as we commit to learn, grow and take imperfect action.

How can you celebrate your journey today?

What brick will you add to your business wall this week?

Keep up the great work!

I’m cheering you on!!
