8 THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AT THE BEGINNING OF EVERY MONTH
Set Spiritual Goals At The Beginning Of The Month
I desire that as long as I breathe that I will live in communion with God.
And at the beginning of each month ( more like each day ) I like to overlook to see where I could have grown, whether it is intellectually or emotionally.
As time and busy schedules overwhelm us, it is natural to pull away from God and focus all of your energy on building and sustaining that self-sufficient relationship without God.
To gain and leverage your relationship with God it’s super important to sit down and ask God tips and tricks on how to grow and flourish in your walk and obedience to him.

Set Life Goals At The Beginning Of The Month
At the beginning of each month, set realistic and measurable goals for your life.
Each month represents another opportunity to scale and aim higher not only in your personal life but professionally as well.
Jot down some of the things you would like to accomplish within this month and set applicable steps you must need to achieve those goals.
Family: As a busy entrepreneur, it’s sometimes natural to push your family and your relationships to the back of your life while you scale your business.
And throughout this journey, I have had plenty of months where I am nose deep into planning content, and booking coaching sessions that I overlook my family.
Setting up goals and creating that space for your family will keep you from being a slave to your job.
Health: Set up a fitness + health routine for the month.
As we dive back into our normal routine, getting back on a health and fitness schedule will keep you strong and healthy.
Create A Self Care Routine
Each month you should crave and create time to decompress.
Not only is it vital for your business (or corporate America job) but it’s vital for your sanity.
Add in days that you would like to focus on yourself to watch Netflix or just enjoy life without the hustle and bustle of life.
