Don’t be an April Fool – Take Charge of your business and life
What would April be without the playful pranks of April Fools. Some of us plan for months for these little jokes and surprises. But when it comes to our business and our life, April is more than a month for tricksters and jokes. Spring is coming into its full glory and the better you plan and execute on your plans for your life and your business the better your year will be. We’re springing into ACTION as we prepare for the official launch of The Recipe: A fable for leaders and teams May 1. For all the latest updates click here.
Here are some of my favorite Spring plans and actions –
Business:
- Focus on getting the word out about your business and what your product and service does to help others grow their business. Attending networking events can give your business that extra boost. So get out and enjoy the spring weather and make some new connections.
- Launch a new spring promotion to encourage new customers to try you out and reward current customers for their loyalty
Life:
- Thank your team in a special way. It might be a note, a flower, or a simple phone call. Our teams in business and life make all the difference. Show them that they matter to you.
- Set a goal and do something for YOU this Spring. It might be to eat better, get more exercise, or just set aside some quiet time.
Family:
- Got kids in school? Talk to your child’s teacher. A little extra spring effort can make a big difference in how that final report card ends for the year. Ask your child’s teach what you can do to help.
- How about that special someone. Give them the most valuable of gifts – your undivided attention. Set a date and do something together. Just the two of you. No cell phone, Blackberry, or other distractions. It will work wonders for your relationship. (Just don’t schedule the date for April 1st. They may think you are kidding.)
So don’t be an April Fool. Spring into action and take charge. You will be glad that you did.
Sending Smiles……
