As I look at the goals I’ve set for this year, I find myself flowing with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

I’m excited because these goals are completely aligned with the life I want to create, and I know that I’m actively designing my results.

I’m apprehensive because:

1. Some of the goals are bigger than anything I’ve done before. I can’t yet rely on the familiarity of “been there done that” because it’s new territory for me. In some cases I don’t have a clue what the next (or first) step ought to be, never mind have the whole action plan drafted with steps, due dates, etc.

I’m not sure this is a stretch for them, but at least they won’t likely miss their goal!)

Hard to believe that the year is already half over, isn’t it? So, this is the perfect time for a mid-year check in.

Here are a couple quick questions:

• What are your annual goals for this year?
• Are they balanced so that you are getting more financial freedom, fun, and fulfillment in your life?
• Are you half-way there?
• Do you have things in the works to ensure you will hit them all by the end of this year?
• Do you know where to go to get help if you’re falling behind?

Consider these questions as you’re enjoying the family BBQ this weekend. I hope your responses are insightful and lead you to a renewed sense of excitement for the 2nd half of the year.
