July 1 marked the mid-way point in the year. By now, we’ve weathered the long, snowy winter, reveled in the (too short) spring and are experiencing the second half of summer. Soon, vacations will be over, kids will go back to school, leaves will change color, and football season will begin!
This month was also a good time to take stock of the state of your organization – where you started, the progress you’ve made, goals left to reach. But don’t dwell too long, because you’ll be busy again before you know it.
This is always a reflective time of year for me because July is not only my birthday month, it’s the birthday month of my business. This year makes number 19 as a full-time entrepreneur…and I’m still figuring it out!
How are you preparing for the second half? Have you revisited your goals to see if they’re still relevant? What do your 6-month numbers look like? What are your projections for the fall? Do you have any, or are you operating month to month? Halftime is the time to regroup and develop a winning strategy for the second half. If you’re ahead – great; if you’re behind – there’s still time to adapt and overcome. But to win the game, you’ve got to be in it 100%.
Don’t wait for the avalanche of work and responsibilities to come crashing down, because then, you’ll spend all your time reacting. Contact us today to schedule your halftime evaluation so we can put together a winning strategy. So when December comes, you’ll be at the top of your game!
