Hello Reader,
We'll keep it light and short! After all, the sun is peeping out (FINALLY!) and you probably have a business to run and a life to live (we sure hope so π ). Also, we couldn't resist sharing this uplifting song we received by our dear friend Thor A Rain.
Have you started looking back at your first half of the year and planning your second half? Do you aspire to be strategic or are you caught up in the tactics? Whatever it is you would like to achieve, today's quote is a reminder that whatever you plan, it takes "doing" to actually achieve it.
Herb Kelleher
