The stars are aligned – it’s the first day of the month and it’s a Monday: two great reasons to put some thought into what you want to achieve this month and in particular, this week.

You can plan simultaneously! May I suggest, #1- a health goal, #2 - a social idea for family/friends and # 3 - plan to make more money (you know - your career, profession, job, investment) – that’s an idea for your first three.

This morning, we’re progressing with the www.c25k.com – with some frightening expectations – eight minutes of running – yikes! However, we’ve been doing this weekly, and we’ve conquered the five minute run – we had to repeat it three times until we could do it, so while the excitement of the recent milestone is fresh – it’s now time (in 10 minutes) for a new challenge.

When you stop to eat or drink today, let your head, heart & hand loose and conjure up what’s installed for the next 31 days. And every time you bump into someone you haven’t seen that day, give them a ‘pinch & a punch for the first of the month’ – get their attention and share your three thoughts. (I’d love to hear how you go.) These simple ideas contribute perfectly towards your Leadership Quest – stimulate ideas, share it with others and encourage followers.
