Smart Women Practice Quality Not Quantity
This article is about realizing that quality time is much better than the quantity of time we spend in all areas of our lives.

Business Growth Needs Powerful Objectives
Yogi Berra is quoted as saying “If you don’t know where you are going you will end up somewhere else”. Business objectives specify where you are going; they are your destination. They give you direction to drive your company’s growth. They provide your team with a common purpose. They focus your activities towards a future goal. All business owners set objectives. The key, however, is to ensure the objectives are powerful and will result in successful growth. All too often objectives are vague. Or they are so unrealistic that they lack credibility. Or they are missing measurable and specific results.
