Leadership matters. Heart-centered leaders are needed now, more than ever. As business owners, our decisions and actions have impact on people’s lives and our communities.

Do you set aside time regularly to plan what you want to do in your business? If not, I strongly encourage you to embrace it for this year as well as going forward. Setting aside time to plan out what you want to do and more importantly the people you want to serve and the growth you want to have is crucial to your success. This month, I want to share with you what I’ve learned and what I’ve found helpful.
