Mid-Year Review: How Are You Doing?

By JoAnn Cilla

It seems like yesterday that we were throwing confetti, tooting horns, and saying goodbye to 2022. Today, we are just about halfway done with 2023. That means…it’s time for a midyear review.

I do love this time of the year. It’s a great opportunity to evaluate my progress both in business and my personal life. A midyear review is not just a list of tasks accomplished or goals to reach; it’s a chance to look at the path we are on in our businesses and personal lives and make changes while we still can.

In business, whether it’s your own or you work for a company, a midyear review can give you a clear picture of performance against the goals that you set at the start of the year. Done correctly, you can measure financials, evaluate strategies, and determine how happy your customers are with your

product or service. It also allows you to check in with your employees, partners, and suppliers. Are they motivated and inspired, or do they appear disengaged. This week is the best time to ask them what they need to achieve their goals in the second half of the year. Teamwork makes the dream work!

At the same time, it’s important to do a personal review. How are you feeling? What’s keeping you up at night? What are the biggest

challenges that are in front of you? The balance between work and personal life is critical to success for both parts of your life! You can’t pay your personal bills if business is bad, and you can’t succeed in business if you become disabled.

If you claim that you don’t have time for your health, hobbies, and relationships, find the time! If you’ve been thinking about learning a new language, reading more books, or joining a running club, do it!

If you’ve had success reaching your midyear milestones, make sure you take time to celebrate! The recognition you give to yourself and the people around you will fuel your motivation and selfconfidence going forward. As I said, I love this time of year because it reminds me of how fortunate I am, and we all are, to live on Long Island in the summertime.

The inperson workshop will be held on Tuesday, July 11 from 10 am to 11:30 am at Adelphi University in Garden City (room details will be provided upon registration).
