THAT TIME -Part 3-Let’s Do THIS!!!

GOALS!

We all talk about them and we can make them SO BIG we forget that we have work to do.  Sometimes we even think that they will just all happen when we wake up one morning and it's all done and we are living out what we had planned.

I had shared previously about taking a Goal and then backing it up and figuring out the steps to reach them.  Breaking them down into smaller, easier, but still require work, more manageable steps.  I wanted to share some of mine with you and what may look like to you and you can tweak your plans and tactics.  It's not hard.  It's not something that should take you an entire day.  Revise as needed and see what happens.


READY....... (I'm sharing one of mine for example)


GOAL- This year, 2018, I want to be involved in a Bible Study at all times to keep myself grounded in Him.

Seems pretty straight forward but let's think it through and what do I need to do to accomplish such a goal?

1-Pray

2-Search out what is available on-line.  I found one starting January 18 by Priscilla Shirer.

3- 7 weeks- Daily work with a video that will air on a blog from Lifeway.

4-Talk on Facebook and Instagram about what other studies that women are doing and find out if they want to join in together in a PRIVATE GROUP.

5-That will take me to Mid March and will have 2 weeks to discover my next one.

DONE!  Continue the same process every 2-3 months and before I realize it, I have been in HIS WORD for an entire year!!!!


GOAL-This year, 2018, I want to grow my business in health and fitness to match one paycheck by the end of the year.

(THIS IS A BIG ONE!)

1-Figure out how much 1/4 of my paycheck would be.

2-What would I need to do via social media, blogging, emails etc to grow my business.

3-What would be required of my time in order to accomplish this?  (30 minutes a day, 45 minutes a day etc)

4-What types or courses could I participate in that would help to educate me about being a solid Christian Business woman?

5-Lastly, most important, how would this effect and affect my family and our time together?

That is how I do it.

Break it down to every 12 weeks and figure out what you need to do in those 12 weeks and keep adding from there.  It's straight forward and I'm super EXCITED about this coming year!!!!

Are you ready to set some goals?

What are some of your goals?


You have your YEAR-END goal.  

Now, just break it down and ROCK 2018!!!!!!

That TIME Again- Part 2

Well, the other day I shared about “What do we do now?”  It’s that weird time between Christmas and New Years and we are tired and ready to get back to the “normal” of what our lives look like.  Kids return to school and the work schedule resumes back to a normal day.  The idea that we are heading into a new year AGAIN!  We even wonder where in the world did the year go.  It was 365 days, 52 weeks and 12 months are GONE!  The questions that seem to come to our mind at this time EVERY year!  

1- Where did time go?

2- What did I accomplish this year?

3- What do I want to accomplish this coming year in 2018?

Those are the 3 questions that have really been pressing in on me over the last 2 weeks.  I took place in a course on line about learning how to set Goals for the new year in my business.   It was something that came at the perfect time.  It was exactly what I needed.  

Here is what really hit home for me.  Plan your Goal based on what a BIG GOAL that you have set for the year 2018 and then back it up and think through how you are going to get there and what is going to be required of you and maybe your family.  Exactly what does that look like?  Here is the “Mind Blown” moment.......Plan it out 3 months at a time.  WHHHHAAATTTTT?  Yes, exactly, back it up and think about what is required and plan it out 3 months or 12 weeks at a time.  

So what does that look like?  

Get out a few pieces of paper and let’s do this!!!!

First- Think about what you were able to accomplish and felt good about last year.  

Pen to paper and WRITE- Don’t over think it.  Time yourself.  You have 10 minutes.  Make your list. I’m not going to suggest things that you could write because I don’t want you to use them.  

Second- Write down your BIG GOAL for 2018.  That one BIG THING you want to accomplish that you want to see yourself accomplish by the end of the year. 

Third- Think about 3 Goals that you would like to accomplish in the next 3 months.  

What do they look like?  

Just a reminder of what we mentioned yesterday - Work- Faith-Family-Business etc.  

Pick 3 Goals that you want and write them down.  

Make sure you leave room between the 3 Goals.  

Fourth- Now, think about each GOAL and write down underneath each one- 

What is required of you? 

What will be required of your family? 

What do you need to do different? 

What do you need to do to step out of your comfort zone?

Now, I want you to post them.  HUH???  Yes, I want you to share them with your spouse, your BFF, your accountability partner, your business partner. You can even share it in the comments below or send me an email.  This is a challenge.  It’s difficult to consider.  I know it’s hard to dream about what  we want.  We get so wrapped up at times about what others say that we should need or what we should do or what we should be doing.  This is something can change your outlook.  It’s ok to DREAM and REACH for YOUR GOALS!!!!!!  

I will share mine tomorrow and you can see what is on my Goal List for 2018.  I can’t ask you to do something if I don’t do it myself.!  

It’s Almost THAT Time!

Well, it's the week after.  Christmas Eve and Christmas Day have come and gone.  We have enjoyed family, friends, food, faith, festivities, lights and even more food.  We have relaxed and enjoyed time away from work. We have shopped on line until we thought our fingers would fall off and shopped in stores until our feet were killing us. We are now on a first name friendship with the UPS, FedEx and the postal carrier in our neighborhoods.  We indulged in those food treats that we only get or make during the holiday season.

We have decorated and redecorated. We have sent emails and Christmas card through Snail-Mail.  It has been a crazy awesome time for the last 4- 6 weeks.

So what do we do now?

A new year is coming and we all know what comes with New Years.......a RESOLUTION!  How many of us make a resolution and by January 10th our first thought is ......WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!!!!

I have a challenge for you.  I don't want you to make a YEAR GOAL!  Say WHAT?????

I don't even want you to make a 6 month goal!!!!  Really?????

Yeap.  JUST A 3 Month Goal.  WHOOP!!!!!


I just want you to think of 3 to 5 things.  They can be anything.  Just pick 3 to 5 things that you want to achieve.  You have 3 months to complete those 3-5 things.  It's not complicated.  Do not over think it!  Just think what you would like to accomplish that is do-able in the next 3 months.  So from January 1st to March 31st I want you to chose what those things are.

They could be-

Health Goals

Fitness Goals

Spiritual Goals

Financial Goals

Business Goals

Work Goals

They could be whatever you want them to be.

This STEP ONE.
Join me on Friday for STEP TWO.
