This week's focus point - I'm currently a school board member for my local school district.  Our operations levy is being voted on and tomorrow is the final day to vote.  As you can imagine, we are all crossing our fingers and toes (which is no easy task, I might add).  Education is critical to our youth.  I don't think anyone will argue the point that proper education prepares our children to lead productive lives.

But, does it stop when we become "productive" adults?  I've read horrifying statistics about how book reading drops significantly after high school and college for adults.  This includes business professionals and executives. I often hear business people say they don't have time or money for continuing education. That's simply not true.  Time is about priorities.  If we are willing to make priorities for our children's education (which we should), why don't we do the same for ourselves?

What will you do this year to improve yourself professionally and personally? Are you willing to prioritize your time and money on your development?  I hope you cast a vote for your education this year.
