Do you love the idea of a fresh start? Whether it's the beginning of a new week, month, or even a quarter, fresh starts can give us hope and motivation.

I'll also walk you through my detailed process of planning for the second quarter of 2025, including team meetings, personal reflections, and annual goal reviews. Along the way, I'll share practical tips on how to sustain motivation and overcome challenges. Join me as we gear up for Q2 with strategic planning and a sense of renewed energy.
