Wishes Turned To Goals!

Last week I shared about not having any GOALS written on a calendar.  I had a TON of WISHES!  I had sticky notes and notes written on papers and and a notebook full of just STUFF that I HOPED I would accomplish.  If you know me, I am NOT one that will drop $50-$75 on a planner.  I am super picky and I am the worst.  I get one, use it for a week, maybe and then I give up on it.  I shoot for perfection and not what the intent is for the planner.  This time I did some looking.  I can not begin to tell you how many I looked at.  It was at least 50 I am sure.  I looked from $5 to $30 and I was struggling with $30.  OF course, Amazon came to the rescue!!!!  I found something that I could work with and it had what I was in need of.  I was so DONE with the sticky notes, losing the sticky notes, the frustration of missing an event and wondering why I wasn’t reaching the WISHES that were in my head and in my heart.
Here is a peek inside the planner that I got.

This is EXACTLY what I needed.  I got it in the mail last Saturday and Sunday afternoon, I sat down with all of my sticky notes, my miscellaneous ideas and papers with dates for bowling and school and wrote them all in the planner.  I was then able to see the week planned and writing down all of the events that were on tap for the week.  Bo’s cardiac rehab and his bowling, Kaleb’s dental appt., Kaleb’s LEGO League at school, workouts, water intake, meetings etc.  It was a totally incredible feeling knowing that I was READY for the week.  The week was insanely busy crazy but even with that I was able to be prepared and ready for my week.  It was AMAZING!!!!!  

I think the most exciting part will be this weekend.  There is a page in the planner called the Monthly Vision page.  I have the awesome opportunity to sit down and REALLY consider what I want my goals to be for the month.  What do I want to accomplish with my family?  What are my goals for my workouts? What are my goals for my business?  Things that are normally just spoken about or written  on a miscellaneous sticky note somewhere.  NOW they are no longer WISHES!  

They are GOALS!!!!!!!!!

Do you have a planner?

What kind do you have?

Do you find you are more organized?

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!!!!!!
