This week I decided to post a photographer's resource (or any business owners resource).  Actually, you could call this a "life" resource because in some way, shape or form, no matter what your career you can use this in your everyday life!

Y'all know how much I love the Sage Wedding Pros blog.  I remember finding their blog sometime early last year and just fell in love with it--accounting, organization...all the nitty, gritty back end business detail stuff--I just love it!  (I know, I know...I'm such a nerd).  

Earlier this week they created  a post called "The Monthly Review."  This is probably one of my favorite posts so far because I am so super goal oriented yet sometimes feel overwhelmed by keeping up with everything that should be completed for my business.  And when I take a glance at all the personal things that I need to do, it almost knocks the wind out of me!  

The Monthly Review post reminded me of a few personal resolutions/goals that I made at the beginning of this year and it prompted me to see how I'm measuring up so far.  I'm a huge bookworm and I have this burgeoning list of books that I've kept on my desk for the past two years of books that I want to read.  After two years of not getting to the list I realized that it's not that I don't want to read these books, it's that I get sidetracked...by yet another book!  So this year I composed my gigantic list (I'm almost embarrassed to share how many books are on this list) and my goal is to read all of them this year...and I can go out of order which will hopefully fulfill my typical satisfaction of not reading what's in front of me.  Sooo, I have 222 books on this list!  That comes out to just over 4 books a week--ridiculous right?  But not all the books are super long, some are fun books, some are serious, some are business related and many are biographies/auto biographies.  After reading the monthly review, I was reminded to check my success so far--almost on track!  I should have read about 38 books thus far and I'm reading number 35 currently...Yay!  If anyone wants to see what's on my list, let me know  :)

I liken business planning to wedding planning because if you've ever planned a wedding you know that you only have so many months to book several vendors and make hundreds of important decisions--each decision feels like it's the most important-therefore sometimes it's hard to prioritize (which is definitely my problem!).  So that's why I loved this post so much---be sure to read it and you can view the post HERE.  

And because I know that y'all really come here for pretty pictures :)
