🔥 Day 1️⃣ !

Published 3 days ago • 1 min read

Reading Time: 28 seconds

Okay--if you're not a morning person and it's morning, you'll want to read this later.

Because I am so a morning person! AND, today is day 1 of my first 100 day "sprint" for the year.

Needless to say, I am up before my alarm and ready to go! If you're thinking, "Too chipper, Honorée, too chipper," come on back after you've had some coffee. :) No judgment here.

(As an aside, I do love a nice, long vacation break but toward the end I start to get antsy and the ideas start coming. This break was no different.)

Anyway, today is day 1 and I've identified my Top 3 Goals (based on my 2026 goals, divided by 365 x 100). I've identified what each day should look like (results-wise) and assigned a numerical value. I've identified my Core 4 activities and what I'm doing for each of them and when: Rainmaking, a.k.a. business development, Work Product, Keeping Current Clients Happy, and Admin (inside of the Six Daily Actions including my AM Routine and Friends & Family time).

If you've gotten the STMA 100-Day Program, or you're reading Vision to Reality, or both, or neither, I'm going to share what's happening as I go along. I won't be talking about it every day (there are a lot of other topics I want to chat with you about this year for sure), just intermittently.

For today, it might seem that my Chocolate Labrador Puppy energy is cranked up to ten and the whole day must be just like that. Here's the truth: I've learned that every day, being "worth" 1% and all in the process, means I've got to pace myself. Wear comfortable shoes. Take snacks and water.

So while I'm excited about the trip, I know it's a long journey and I need to take each day one hour at a time. Pause for rest. Smile and laugh a lot. Enjoy the heck out of it.

Now, how are you? I'll see you tomorrow!

Reading Time: 30 seconds There's a whole lot of "new year, new you" going on right now--and I think the old you is probably just great. I also think you probably want to have a really great year--one where you feel like you left everything you could on the mat and made the most of the year. Yesterday I got to give an impromptu talk to a networking group about this very topic, and I thought I'd share my talking points with you. I'll start by sharing where I focus my time: Publishing 10-20...

Reading Time: 20 seconds It's STMA Day 2, and I realized I had missed an important day. (Note to myself and you: remember to take a beat to celebrate both big and little wins.) Anyhoodle, January 3rd marked my 21st anniversary as a published author. I can't believe I published my first book twenty-one years ago! Which means I' ve been at it more than two decades. Yes, I've been building my empire one day at a time (and yes, 100 days at a time). There were easy days and fun days, lots of those...

Reading Time: 8 seconds One of my friends texted me this morning: How do you spend the first Saturday of every year? My answer: Enjoying the peace and quiet only a weekend morning can provide. Reviewing my goals and reading. Sipping coffee (and tea). Oh yes, and doing a quick workout (gotta have my daily dose of feeling great)! The Mr. and I will finalize our plans for the year--and it's going to be awesome! WBU? Take a deep breath--the year will be off to the races soon enough. Cheers to a...
