As we think about 2014, it is time to plan, dream, and cast our vision for the new year.  What do you want to accomplish in the new year?  Take some time to write down your goals.

I am looking at my calendar and setting out major and minor goals for each month.  If you are in business, maybe you will want to do a SWOT Analysis as Whitney Keyes reminds us in her book, Propel.  This acronym reminds us to take stock of our Strengths, Weaknessess, Opportunities and Threats.

When I thought about this, I realized that we can also do that in our personal lives as well to see if we are getting the balance between work and family life that we desire.  Maybe we can get more family time by tweaking our business schedule.

As I look back on 2013, I am thankful for my family and friends.  I am excited for the opportunities and adventures to come as I look ahead to 2014.  I wish you all the best in the new year!
