A new study revealed this morning by my wife reveals I may have my head stuck up my own ass. Allow me to explain before horrible visuals begin dancing in your head.

When getting driving directions the very first questions you must ask yourself are:” Where am I?” and “Where am I going?”

San Francisco to Timbuktu?

Denver to Tulsa?

Mars to Jupiter?

To get where you want to go you need to know where you are starting your journey from.

SO this morning, when my wife said, “have a great day!” my immediate (and surprising) non-verbal response was “how?”

That’s when I realized I was walking into my week with my head stuck up my ass. I had no idea where I wanted to end this week. I had no idea what I wanted to get out of my day. I had no idea what a successful day would look like. A poorly planned day points to a poorly planned week.

So I did what any sensible person would do: I grabbed a cup of coffee, pulled my head out, looked around, grabbed my keyboard, and typed out the following list:

1. Post to Mad Mortgage World (MMW) – 3-4 times this week with relevant content re: social media, lead generation, and pointless ramblings (check)
2. Conduct 2 new interviews this week for immediate release.
3. Begin building a purposed community around MMW through meeting 5 new people each day this week. (2 down for today!)
4. Read The Essential Guide to Social Media by Brian Solis
5. Dance
6. Comment on a minimum of 15 industry blogs this week.
7. Congratulate Daniel Rothamel on his New Position. (check)

Now that I have my list of things I absolutely must accomplish today I am must take action. I will choose a couple of these to do before I rush off to take my mid-afternoon nap and all will be right this week.

Tomorrow, when my wife tells me to “have a great day” I will reply with “as you wish.”

What is on your list this week?
