It’s a new month, and a new season is just around the bend! What do you want to accomplish in September? I oftentimes find setting month-long goals to be very effective. Four weeks is a fairly short period of time, but long enough to get something significant done. In four weeks, you can:

• Apply and interview for a new job.
• Network and meet several new business contacts.
• Develop your personal brand.
• Begin generating buzz about yourself.
• Sign up for and begin a class in an area of interest.
• Find a new client, or several.
• Give a great presentation.
• Schedule a meeting with your supervisor and ask for a raise.

A month is also the perfect amount of time to allot for trying something you’re afraid of doing. You might want to make September the Month of Negotiation, Sales, Networking, or Marketing. Put a time limit on the activity that you know could use improvement but causes you some trepidation. Put a lot of energy into networking, for instance, and see how it works out for you. If it doesn’t have positive results, you’re not bound to continue after the month is up. I can almost guarantee, however, that you will reap the benefits of your efforts.
