Re-assess your goals, plans, short-term and long-term

What’s that “one thing”? What do I want to do most? What do I need to feel?

9. Re-Evaluate your Portfolio

Where are your assets invested? Are they in the best structure? How are all of your assets performing? Should you consider self-direction and alternative investments. It’s a “buyer’s market” right now. No more hands off approach.
