It's coming up on the end of the old year and beginning of the new, and you know what that means... Goals. Look at how you did on the old ones and set some new ones. I do this every year for personal and professional goals. Let's take a look at those author ones. 2018... Continue Reading →
Usually I have last year's post to start with so I can look at my original goals for the year and think about which of those I accomplished, which I didn't, and anything the surprised. me.
