strategic goal at the top of a page, then include everything you will need to do during the year to hit that goal. This includes sales, expenses, finding new customers, opening a new location, buying equipment, using social media, etc. Once you have everything written down and broken out by month, you have a GPS plan for your business. The key is to follow it! Don’t put it in a filing cabinet.

3) Identify Obstacles. In my workshop, we played something called the “What If” game. We had to write down 10 things that kept us up at night. For example, what if…my building burned down? What if…my computers were hacked? What if…the housing market crashed? For every question, we had to write a response on how we would handle it. After I was done, I wrote “Emergency Response Plan” on the front of my paper. Now, if something bad happens, I won’t panic. I’ll know what to do.

It helps to have fewer surprises in business, and to know where I want to be at the end of the year. It means a lot less stress and a lot more focus on what I love to do.

East Islip High School’s boys and girls track and field teams headed into The Armory in New York City on Jan. 11 to compete in the Millrose Games Trials, to try and earn a trip to the famous Millrose Games on Feb. 11. The boys 4x400-meter relay team of sophomores Jack Kalinowski, Joe Norrby and Ryan Parker and junior Matt Mcintee set a new school record with a blistering time of 3:33.81, besting the prior record from 2005. Their fourth-place finish out of all of Long Island teams earned them the right to compete in the Millrose Games.

The girls 4x800-meter relay team of freshmen Grace Micali and Danielle Simonetti and seniors Hailey DeHaas and Olivia Simonetti also set a new school record with a time of 9:50.25, earning third place in a race with teams from Long Island, New York City and New Jersey. Unfortunately, they came up just short of qualifying for the games.

East Islip’s girls teams quickly bounced back and competed in the

4x400-meter relay, where freshmen Grace Micali, Danielle Simonetti and Danika Tidridge, and senior Olivia Simonetti ran a blazing 4:11.39. The girls’ third-place performance earned them a trip to compete in the Millrose Games.

“This is the first time in East Islip history that we had a relay team qualify for the Millrose Games,” coach John Reynolds said. “It’s outstanding that both the boys and girls qualified for the prestigious event.”
