Draw a Line

I know you have heard it before.  Probably you have heard it 100 times.  “Draw a line in the sand.”  Maybe it was when you decided to get out of a relationship.
Maybe it was when you decided it was time to move forward in your career.
Maybe it was time for you to go back to school and get the degree you have always wanted.
Maybe it was time for you to take a leap of faith to push yourself and in turn , take your business to another level.

Well, that is where I am.  The other day I listened to a “Team Call” from Danielle Natoni of Fit N Funky.  She had a guest speaker on named Courtney Swissman.  She talked about building your business and being real.  She discussed our personal transformation.  “When was your last transformation?”  That made me think.  Not just think, but literally some soul searching.  I was thinking about what programs I have done and the nutrition that I have followed.  I leaned in on the question and even went back through my IG account to see pictures that I had posted and even looked through my blog for before and after’s.  I was shocked and disappointed in myself.

I’m an Online Health and Fitness Coach and I don’t have the transformation pictures and discussions.  Transformations are not always about a number on the scale or the size of your newest dress but can even be in your mindset, relationships, spiritual transformations.  Ok, Pam so what is your point? What is your goal in all of this?

I made the decision after listening to the call 2-3 times, it’s time for me to do just what I said in the beginning.  DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND and be the Coach that shares before and afters and the struggles that get you to the “After” pictures.  Those split screen pictures are great but when you know the back story about how they got those results is where the honesty, the integrity, the grit and the sweat lies.

Today, December 16th, I started probably the hardest program I have ever done.  I literally thought I was going to throw up.
Here are my promises to you-
1-Be Real
2-Share every day
3-Sweat and workout
4-Sharing food
5-Sharing ALL the photos in the process.
What can you do?
-Encourage me
-Call me out
-Hold me accountable

I’m so excited about MOVING FORWARD to a TRUE TRANSFORMATION!
Are you ready?
Ready to go with me?
We Can Do Hard Things and get a TRANSFORMATION!

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.!  

80 Day What????????

Yes, there is a new fitness program coming out called 80 Day Obsession.  It's from Autumn Calabrese, the creator of 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Country Heat and co-creator of Hammer and Chisel.  It is the longest program next to P90X.

It's different

It uses different equipment.

It's nutrition guide is different.

They chose to give a little "Sneak Peek" into 80 DO and called it "A Little Obsessed".  They filmed it live on Beachbody on Demand and it was AMAZING!!!!!!  There were so many people trying to do the 5 days that we "broke the internet" 2 days and they decided to do it FOR 2 WEEKS!!!!!  
It was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!


I am so pumped about this program.  I can not wait for it to get here!!!!  The A Little Obsessed will be back on BOD (Beachbody On Demand) in December and it will stay there until the new program comes out.


This is a HARD program.  I can't lie.  It is not meant to be easy.  What I have seen coming out of the Test Group.....I WANT THAT!!!  
Determination has kicked in at 110% and I'm going after it!!!

So why share all of this??????


I want you to go with me.

I don't want to do this alone.

I need accountability and someone who REALLY WANTS THIS!!!!

Is that you?

Do you think it might be?

You have until January 1 to figure it out.

Be thinking and watching for more updates!!!

DO NOT MISS OUT!!!!

What an awesome way to start 2018!!!!!!

Resolutions VS Goals

Resolutions vs Goals

Well, this is January 2017 and we have all done this.  We make our "New Year’s Resolutions".  It's just that time of the year to put pen to paper or fingers to the computer and make that list. That is what we do. 

It's a new year

-new goals 

-new ideas

-new dreams

What if we broke them down?  What if we think about what exactly do they REALLY mean? 

Resolution - a firm decision to do or not to do something.

Goals- a desired result or possible outcome that a person or a system envisions, plans and commits to achieve: a personal or organizational desired end-point.

Really there is not a lot of difference between the two.  I think the key is that a Goal is something that envisions, plans, and commits.  I started reading personal development books and I am growing and changing in my thinking and how to accomplish exactly what I wanted. It is absolutely amazing!!!  

Below is what I actually posted publicly.  It was a huge leap to post something so personal publicly. We have some exciting events coming up this year and this will keep me focused and ready for what is coming!!!

How about you? 

Are you Resolutions?

Are you Goals?

Have you put them in print whether on paper or a computer?

Have you shared them with anyone? 

I would love to hear from you!!!!  Post them below!!!!!  

New Word for 2017

Well, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Can you believe it is already 2017!?

I'm just amazed!!!!!

2017 is going to be an incredible year with a lot of changes and just a time of excitement!  It's going to be just AWESOME!!!!

There is always a lot of talk about a new year and what we are all going to change and then we attempt to make a plan to do just that.  Well, before that is even attempted for me, I first have to figure out what my "Word of the Year" is going to be.  I have thought long and hard many times about my WOTY and what it means for me and how it has the potential to change everything!  I mean EVERYTHING!  So after a lot of thinking and praying about what that word would be this year, I finally "Got It'!!!!!

It was so simple, I really questioned it!

GROWTH

Seems super simple compared to previous years. At the same time this word can be HUGE!  I chose to really stop and think about this and what exactly it could be and what could it lead to.

Growth in my spiritual life with scripture reading and prayer time

Growth in my family life with learning to say NO to those things that going to cause us to limit our time together as a family.

Growth in my relationship with my Husband. We are so busy and we need to learn to take the time with each other and grow our relationship deeper.

Growth in my ability as an On Line Health and Fitness Coach and grow my business.  To grow beyond my wildest dreams!



I'm super excited about getting this year started!  
How about you? Did you pick a word for the year? 
Have you considered the reason why you chose that particular word?
