The first day of any new year is filled with hopes and dreams – and just like any plans, those need careful thought and preparation. We must understand how those dreams fit into today’s reality, and carefully think them through. They should also have an objective in mind, so the road ahead is clearly marked and defined. With most dreams and plans, there are driving and restraining forces, all of which need consideration to better understand opportunities and obstacles. Most of my writing in these messages is a mix of both personal and business themes, probably because I’m a human being who still deals a lot in the business world. As such, I often mix these two sides of this coin in search of better solutions and outcomes (again, both for myself and my clients). And while I sometimes confuse the two, that’s probably okay because these two sides are often intertwined. So here I am dreaming of being a better me in the year ahead, knowing with my business head that I must saddle those dreams with reality and perspective before I ride off on them. So, whether you’re dreaming about a personal or a business future, set your objectives realistically, plan them carefully, and stick to them through the ups and downs that naturally occur. And then hold on for the ride. That’s the plan, and message, for today.
Mary Gladys Webb (1881 – 1927) was an English romantic novelist and poet of the early 20th century
