The summer months of fun have come to an end. It’s back to school time for students across the nation. I was so excited about sending my oldest daughter back to start her junior year in college and putting my two younger kids (4th and 5th graders) on the bus their first day of school. I’m not ashamed to admit that I was one of millions of mothers doing the “my kids are finally back in school happy dance!” While I’m happy my kids are all back in school, I’m even happier to go back to something for me. As women, wives and mothers we all have at least one unattained dream or unaccomplished goal we need to go back to. What better time than now to get re-energized about going back to do something for YOU! As for me, I’m going back to school myself to accomplish my goal of earning a second bachelor’s degree in Communications. So, what about you?

Here are a few winning tips to help you think about what it’s time for you to go back to:

  1. Reflect - What unattained dream or unaccomplished goal do you have personally or professionally?
  2. Review - Evaluate the progress you’ve made so far and identify what still needs to be completed.
  3. Revisit - Pick up where you left off and finish strong. It’s never too late to go back and attain your dreams and accomplish your goals. I’m rooting for you!

Leave me a comment below and let me know what it’s time for you to go back to. Okay? And if you have any other tips or strategies to add, please do so! I’d love to hear from you!

Keep Winning,

It’s a new season! Ready or not, football is here. The new season brings a time of change and new beginnings. Along with all the excitement also comes the opportunity to make improvements and build upon past successes. As a way to kick off the new season, I want to invite you to think about ways you can make this season better than the last. What habits, routines, or traditions served you well? What things didn’t work well for you? Consider doing something different this season. As for me, I will be treating myself to a relaxing spa treatment before attending each home game to help reduce my stress level and calm my nerves. So, what about you?  

Here are a few winning tips to help you think about what you are going to do differently this season:

  1. Assess – Reflect on what worked and what didn’t work for you last season.
  2. Address –Continue to do the things that worked. Tackle the things that didn’t by eliminating them and substituting something new.
  3. Adjust – Constantly fine-tune and tweak your best practices throughout the season as needed. 

I want to wish you, your family, and your respective team much success. Make this an exciting and enjoyable football season!
