Are You Ready for Summer?

May 17, 2018 | Jay Hidalgo

There’s a Jewish proverb that says, Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.”

I was recently asked about my plans…my plans for the summer, that is. I immediately thought of vacations, baseball tournaments and beach time. What I didn’t immediately think about is appropriately planning my work and other responsibilities so that the fun times don’t become a burden.

My friends at Five Capitals have created a “Summer Planning” worksheet that I have found extremely helpful. You can download a copy here for FREE.

Take a few minutes and plan out your summer. In doing so, you’ll set yourself up to be refreshed and ready when September rolls around.
