Today is Labor Day but it’s also the first of the month. With Labor Day, it’s the unofficial end of summer and the schools in Michigan kick back into full swing.

It’s hard to believe but it’s true. But this also means we’re 3/4’s of the way through 2014. Crazy, huh?

I hope you’ve been working hard towards your goals and making progress. I’ve made great strides in 2014 and can’t wait to see how the year closes out.

Keep at it! You’re going to make it guys!

With it being a new month, it’s time to do a monthly review of the blog to see where how it’s progressed. Let’s take a look at top posts first.

July is over and done with. July was a crazy busy month around here.

It’s so easy to get sidetracked by the busyness of our lives that we forget to reflect.

That’s why I do these monthly reviews. To reflect and review upon the previous month. To see what went right and what went wrong.

With no further ado, lets get to the top posts and commenters for the month of July.

We’re now halfway through the year. Can you believe it? This year has flown by.

I hope you’ve been holding on and honing your leadership skills. That’s the only way you’re going to move from an emerging leader to a seasoned leader.

Education, preparation, implementation, action, and review. Those are the keys to continued growth.

That’s why, at the beginning of every month, I review what’s happening on the blog.

With the closing of any month, comes the monthly review here at JMLalonde.com. Let it be a reminder to also review the progress you’ve made in your life. Whether it’s a step further in your leadership journey, growing closer to your wife (or husband), or developing a new trait or skill you can use in your life.
