Can you believe we're already into the 2nd quarter of the year already? If you work for a company that runs off a traditional annual calendar (January - December), you've just closed out the 1st quarter, are waiting for 1st quarter results (and a potential quarterly bonus) and are executing 2nd quarter plans now. I've been wired into that kind of quarterly schedule for pretty much my entire career. Do you have an annual timetable or schedule you go by throughout the year? Is it the school year calendar? Is it a project by project timetable? We all run off of some kind of schedule that drives us to the next goal, phase, chapter, school year, etc.
So, what will the 2nd quarter hold in store for us? As a marketer and planner at heart, it depends on what's been strategically planned out into marketing plans and then executing on those plans...and hopefully they work out the way you planned. But, as an experienced planner I know things don't always go as planned. That goes for life in general, too. We all learn that lesson time after time throughout our lives. So, having a contingency plan or back-up plan is always important. Whether that's at work or in life. Plan B, C, and D can all be as successful as you once thought Plan A would be. Sometimes it just takes a little more effort or a detour to get there.
Whatever is in store for your 2nd quarter, I hope it's productive, successful and full of fun and excitement! We all need a little more fun in our lives...and laughter and love! Wishing you many blessings for a memorable 2nd quarter!!
