Finish strong!

Can you believe it's almost the final quarter of 2015 already? I can't believe fall is here already. I have to admit, however, I do love the change of the seasons. As we bid summer goodbye, now is the time to take stock of where you are with your 2016 goals. Are you on target? Have you accomplished most of what you set out to do this year already? What have will you do to make sure you finish out the year strong?

This is the time of year when I start encouraging my clients to schedule their own, private Vision Day. Put it on the calendar NOW. Don't wait until the end of December to start thinking about what you are going to make happen for yourself in 2016. You MUST get it on your calendar now. I've heard it way too many times:

• "The kids are just getting back into school. As soon as they are settled, I'll have more time to do it."
• "Oh, we are having a big Halloween party, and I just haven't had time. As soon as Halloween is over..."
• "Well, it's almost Thanksgiving, and we have to go to over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house. When we get back..."
• "It's just so crazy with Christmas! I have all these holiday parties, and I have company coming in from out of town. As soon as Christmas is over..."
• "I'm just so fried after the holidays! I just need a few days to rest..."
• "OMG! It's January 15, and I haven't even thought about what I want to accomplish this year! Can you help me?"

So just pick a day and time! Put it on your calendar. Treat it as if you were meeting with a VIP for four hours. If you wouldn't cancel a four hour meeting with Tony Robbins (or the pope, or the president--fill in your own blank), don't cancel the meeting with yourself.

For today, your assignment is just to get it on your schedule. In the next few days, I will be posting ideas on making your own Vision Day special. I will also be making your 2016 Goal Planning Workbook available in the next two weeks.

Make the final quarter of 2015 your most amazing quarter yet. Finish the year strong, and be ready to go when January 1 hits.
