Don’t Forget about Yourself: One final area to consider is preparing yourself for the dive season. The dive season is a marathon and not a sprint. Take some time to prepare yourself mentally and physically for the upcoming year. The new dive season should be a time to be optimistic and reflect on what lies ahead. Visualizing the weather and the water turning warmer, full classes of students wanting to explore the under- water world, and the exotic travel on the schedule is a great way to help establish and maintain a positive outlook. Addi- tionally, make sure that you don’t overcommit yourself to too RETAILING continued
many activities. You want to ensure that you get the proper downtime to maintain your stamina as the year grinds along. As we make our way from the cold, dark days of winter, spring is on the horizon. And with spring, for many, a new dive season is also on the horizon. The dive shop needs to be
ready for the season, and with proper planning and preparation, you are poised to execute your strategic plan and work towards your goals and objectives.
