Do you by chance remember which was my most read blog in 2013? On December 31, that year I posted my Top 10 most read blog posts. Number 1 on the list was Want a great example of a 30 days and 90 days plan?  Tricia DeLeon shared her 30 days and 90 days plan.

A couple of weeks ago, Tricia shared her 30 days and 50 days plan with me and gave me permission to share it with you.

Cordell, I would appreciate your thoughts on these planning actions. Your post today inspired me to finalize them! Talk to you this afternoon.

  1. Confirm 6 other members for women’s networking group.
  2. Start Linked In Group for networking group.

What do you suppose I told her about her plan? I said it looked really good and I had one suggestion I thought would make it more powerful. I suggested that after each action item, Tricia add: “If I accomplish this action, I will…” I wanted her to caption why accomplishing the action was important for her.
