This Week in Philadelphia (TWIP) for 1-10

The future is hazy...

A lot of economic and industry outlooks happening this week, to get your thoughts churning on your plans for the year.

You are making plans for what you want to accomplish this year, aren't you? As much as I find it difficult to do, I've always found it worthwhile to assess the past year, think about what I want to accomplish by the end of the coming year, and start taking concrete steps (such as networking your way to the people you need to meet) to making it happen.
