How Much Labor Did You Do On Labor Day?

Laura and I and 6 friends heading towards Mistaken Island in the Straight Of Georgia on Labor Day.

According to a Toronto Poll, 35% of Canadians will work on Labor Day.

Another blessing was a headline in Saturday’s Vancouver Sun Business Section; “Canada Escapes recession … Technically” .

These are blessings when you consider the labor whoas of our friends to the south and may New Orleans and its citizens come out unscathed from Hurricane Gustav.

As we approach December 31st, 2008 remember to be a visionary and take time away from labor to answer the following questions and set your goals from now until the end of the year so that you are running towards the finish like knowing that you are going to win.

• What would have to have happened for you to be happy with the progress that you have made in the past year?
• What did you accomplish?
• What goals did you set and achieve?
• What made you happy?

Use can use the following business and personal categories to prompt you to set goals in all areas of your life.

When I reflect on my goals that I wanted to complete by Labor Day that included the book and the projects listed in this blog I can give myself a 9 out of 10 as I have given it my best shot from the end of May.

🙂 The book is in what the experts call developmental editing. Lynne Klippel let me know last week that the book has the potential to be a best seller but the workbook part of the book requires more explanation to go along with assignments.

To make it more heartfelt, we came up with the ideas to;

• add a hypothetical client story at the end of each chapter.
• add a final article in to wrap it all up in the flag and apple pie as Lynne would say

Developmental editing is about to drive me mental as I worked over some of the weekend and I’ve finished three stories out of six which is 15 pages and 7000 + words. While I’m frustrated with going back to the writing drawing board I have the sense that this writing will catapult the book from good to great as the writing is the best that I have done so far.

Here are the business and personal categories to prompt you to set goals in all areas of your life.

Make your goal setting for the final four months of 2008 so!
