 We're nearly wrapping up the first quarter of the New Year! I've heard that February 18th is the date that the gyms finally start to go back to the normal crowd, after the majority of people give up on their weight loss resolutions. Did you stick to your resolutions, or were they out the door after the first week?
If your good intentions haven't been realized, it's ok! It's never too late to approach this time of year with an attitude adjustment. You have just short of an entire year left to reach all of your goals, and better yet, exceed them.
How can we help? Time management is essential for any successful business. We can evaluate your needs and assess areas where a Virtual Assistant is most beneficial to the success of your business. It is so important to realize that you CAN delegate your workload. Our expert team is trained to step in at moment's notice and make the best of any situation. True story! Give us a try, you won't be disappointed.
WE can do this!!!

5 Quick Event Planning Tips
Whether you're in charge of planning your first corporate event, or serving on a committee or team of event planning newbies, here are a few tips to get you started!
 - First and foremost - you must decide who your target audience will be. Is this a small audience from work, or a larger network of people - possibly formed thru a social media group? This starting point will help you figure out cost, format, content, location, etc.
- Be sure to research if other industry events are occurring on the same day. If you want to be the spotlight, then you don't want to be in competition with someone else.
- Develop a financing plan. You will need to know how you are paying for the event. Do you have sponsorships? Is funding done through ticket sales? This will help you estimate how much money you will need from each group to fund your event.
- Go all out in your efforts! If you don't want to be the only one at your event - then market, market, market, and market!!
- Delegate responsibilities (if you are able to)! Let people take control of areas they most enjoy. You will get the most bang for your buck if everyone is excited about the roles they play to make your event a success.

New Facebook Emojis
Have you noticed all of the new emojis on Facebook? On your mobile, by holding the "like" button down briefly, you now have the option to choose "love", "haha", "wow", "angry", or "sad" emojis. Have you tried them yet? Although fun, I think all that the world really ever wanted was a "dislike" button to counter the "like" function.
"Not every moment you want to share is happy," CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post. "Sometimes you want to share something sad or frustrating. Our community has been asking for a dislike button for years, but not because people want to tell friends they don't like their posts. People want to express empathy and make it comfortable to share a wider range of emotions."

If you've followed the story of Misty, the abused and abandoned dog found in Central Wisconsin in mid-January, you'll be happy to know that her story is taking a positive spin!   I'm proud to say that one of our own IMPACT team members, Melissa Goodman, created a fundraiser in Misty's honor, with all clothing proceeds going directly to the Columbia County Humane Society (CCHS). The fundraiser ran for a total of three weeks in February, through a website called Bonfirefunds.com, and collected over $4,000 for the CCHS!
For more information on how Misty and her foster family are doing, please visit her Facebook page. If you'd like to donate directly to the CCHS, you can do so at the following link: http://www.cchswi.org/
As a sidenote, if you are in the market to organize a clothing fundraiser, IMPACT has the staff to develop your idea and market your campaign from start to finish. We can even provide the design!!
