Until recently, that worked very well for me. But after the loss of a few major clients, I find myself trying to decide what direction to take next. I think you're right Jennifer, there are no "right" answers so much as choosing a direction and following it with confidence. It doesn't mean you have to exclude other opportunities when they come along, but focusing on one avenue will help give you direction and goals. Great post! ~Graham @Jennifer and Ed,

Until very recently, I thought I was very clear on my goals and intentions. But I kept getting that nagging feeling. You know ... the one that tells you that you're not quite on the right track! Anyway, I ran through an exercise that I've heard about before but never taken the time to do: desscribing my perfect day. I took 2 hours to think about and vividly describe, on paper, my ideal day -- from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed. What a revelation! This simple writing exercise really clarified what I wanted, and it allowed me to refocus my goals to help me get there. Thanks for the great post! -Ed Couldn’t agree more, Jennifer.
