August is a Great Month to "Think"

Challenging yourself to slow down and smell the roses is easier said than done. August is almost here and it is the perfect time to rejuvenate yourself. In Europe a lot of clients take a long holiday around this time, a lot of families here at home take a break before school starts. So what about you? Sometimes you just need to sit on a porch in the summer breeze, drink some lemonade and ponder your next move. Well, that is exactly what I am going to do this August. We have created a lot of new material for 2014 and I need some time to focus on our next moves. MCA has always worked on being fresh, creative and innovative. We pride ourselves in being on top of what the customer is looking for and that means we all are traveling the globe to find out what is new, what is edgy and what will propel our clients into the future. Many of you that read my blog know that I read constantly. I am always trying to learn - lately everything I read seems to have the same message -

everyone is focused on today, with a bit of worry for the future. The time to make things happen is NOW! You have a small window of opportunity to make a name for yourself. If you left your organization tomorrow - would they miss you? Would you leave a void? If not, you better create some value so when times do get tougher you are the ONE person who will make the difference. Be that person, and take some time in August to figure it out!
