Many of my coaching clients ask for help with building their self confidence reducing their procrastination. I believe many times we are stopped from action because we are fearful of the results and impact, afraid of playing big and taking risks. This week choose one area that you have been holding back on for whatever reason and take action anyway. Let me know what happens.

It's April 1st. Time to assess how you are doing with your goals and plans for the year.

1. List of all your business accomplishments since the first of the year. Include what you have completed or begun, new opportunities, contacts and connections.

2. Review this list and determine if you can find any patterns, or areas that cause more energy and excitement for you. Those impressions and feelings may be indicators of personal talents and abilities -- and where you should focus future effort.

3. Review your plan for the year. What still fits with your overall business focus and interest, and what should be updated, tweaked, or even slashed right off that list?

4. Re-prioritize this list based on what you learned in steps 1-3.
