I'm a little slow this week. I'm not complaining.  Just stating a fact.  I am not usually slow, haven't been slow, so this is kind of welcome.  I am hoping this is an end of summer lull.  Folks are squeezing the last few days of summer out, getting ready for school starting, etc.  Even if they don't have kids, it's like the back to school mentality hits everyone.  Focusing on the coming year and coming months becomes my main focus. 

I am thinking about my past years successes and challenges.  What can I be doing to increase my successes?  Where are my strengths and my areas of opportunity for growth?

I know that for the next couple of months I need to carve out time to focus on my website.  I know that I need to get more individual content, work on my SEO, and increase my blogging.  I would also like to incorporate more facebook time.  I want to be an "early adopter" of this technology. 

My license is up for renewal in November, and I have most of my continuing ed classes, but I spent time yesterday checking what I had against the mandatories imposed by our State Board.  I had done pretty good (I am going for my GRI) and only needed one more class in Real Estate Law (I have to do 30 hours, plus a special 2 hour limited rep class) and the new limited rep class.  The gods and godesses were shining on me.  October is a GRI class that fits the bill for the class I was missing, so I can get back on track to earning my GRI. 

While I start setting these goals, I put deadlines to them.  I will have parts of my website working as I want them by Oct. 15th and I will complete my GRI by this time next year.  I find this to be the best use of my slow time.

Oh, and I will  go shopping for some new back to school clothes for my son.  I can multi-task.  I am thinking about my business while I function within the family : )
