Are you a goalsetter?
When do you start thinking about the next year and how to make it successful? What year do you look at - is it the calendar year? Is it the next school year? Is it the next fiscal year? Do you look at the next quarter, fiscal or calendar?

How we copy, conform and influence each other...
We are built to see, watch and emulate other people. We are pack animals and like to be with others. In fact, being with others is a big part of the makeup of our good health and wellbeing.
