Interesting idea your suggestion of a quarterly report.
In Little Big Things you write that 50 might now be the half point mark in our lives.
With that in mind, should the quarterly report also have a long term view which is not always an American virtue?

90 Days a long time?? - you bet.
As a freelance independent sole trader my business planning cycle is maximum 30 days.
90 days is an eternity for a startup company. Your review points are spot on, but we do them every 30 days, review development every two weeks, and objectives every week.
I have found that the "Network development activities-plans-goals. (Be rigorous in your reporting.)" is the most important and yet easiest to make excuses.

Before blogging became all the rage, Tom was posting book reviews and Observations (essentially early blog posts) to this site. You can find the archives below.
