is not the horse that draws the cart, but the oats.” — Assyrian Proverb

As we said goodbye to 2022, many of us looked forward to a fresh start in 2023. We made resolutions for new growth and improvement.

As we enter into the end of the first quarter of the year, it’s time to ask yourself, “Am I on track with my business and personal goals?” For some of you, that question may stop you dead in your tracks, especially if you’re behind on where you should be with your objectives.

If you are not where you should be, don’t worry, you are not alone. According to U.S. News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. The New York Post reported that one in five Americans were ashamed to admit they failed on the goals they had set for themselves.

What can you do to get on track? Get your head in the game. The gym or your diet won’t help your body unless your mind is dedicated. “Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.”

—Steve Maraboli

Change your mindset and be disciplined. Start off slow. You can reach your goals by just doing one small thing at a time. If one of your goals for the year is to become more organized, take five minutes of downtime during the day to organize and throw away old items. This could be straightening files on your computer or phone, cleaning out the medicine cabinet or throwing out spoiled food from the refrigerator. Five minutes a day is all it takes to start, and to give you an amazing sense of accomplishment.

March is considered a good luck month. Research shows children born in March and April are more likely to become CEO’s. Despite the fact that St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated this month, you simply cannot rely on the “luck of the Irish” (even if you are Irish) to help you succeed. You’ve got to work at it! You don’t want to find yourself at the end of June facing the hard realization that it may be too late to accomplish what you had planned…do you?

Keep going. Don’t give up. Stay positive. You’ve got this.

They made what I thought was a difficult area beautiful. They are absolutely to be commended.”

Sam and Wendy were great to work with. The work was done timely and we could not be happier with our new kitchen. We will definitely use OMG Kitchen and Bath for future projects.

Wendy and Sam were wonderful. They helped walk us through the process and they delivered on everything they promised. We remodeled our kitchen along with one of our bathrooms. We could not be happier with the results. Both the design and installation were done in a timely manner coming in on budget.
