I’m thrilled to be one of the presenters for this month’s series of personal and professional development courses. The Family That Plans will focus on both perspectives with strategies for every member of your household! All workshops are free.
My next workshop is Dec 8th, but here’s a little tidbit worth sharing now. I’m much more comfortable about asking ppl to buy a product/service from me than when I was asking for a loan to pay my bills. Some of you are scared to tell people about your business. You’re too embarrassed. You just started. You scared of what folks will say about it. Or, you think because you talked about it 3 months ago, folks are supposed to remember & you get mad when they support someone doing what you do or something similar.
I made a point to support as many as I could because they shared, and I still have a few other ppl for later. If you are consistent, confident, and passionate about what you do, the opportunities you seek WILL come. YOU must show up for YOU first. Everyone will not want what you have to offer. Someone does & will buy. If you never let Anyone know what what you’re doing, No one will ever get the opportunity to know that what you have is just the blessing they were looking for.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2017 exceeded your expectations. It was definitely a year of peaks and valleys for me. Overall, I am grateful, thankful and appreciative of the journey. I will share more about those in a different post.
It’s officially 2018. And, many of us have been guilty of making resolutions over the years which, in many cases, end up going unfulfilled for one reason or another. I will lose 25 lbs. I will get married. I will buy a new house or car. I will exercise more. Any of these sound familiar? They all sound great. They are usually declared with good intentions. But, intentions and implementation are two totally different things. I ask you to consider NOT making any resolutions this year. Instead, consider goal setting as an alternative.
Goal setting is not the same as making a resolution. Goal setting consists of declaring an action and then, putting steps in place to ensure you meet those goals. It’s more intentional and carries more weight. There’s more of a sense of accountability and care associated with goal setting.
When setting goals, follow the KISS method-Keep It Short & Simple. Start with one or two personal or professional goals you’d like to meet. In the past, I’ve been guilty of having very lofty goals. I have grand ideas. And, while there’s nothing wrong with that, I have to be honest with myself about my ability to effectively execute them. I had to learn how to master the small steps and learn how to build a proper foundation. Practice makes perfect. By keeping my goals shorter and more realistic to my time and flexibility, I have been to master my goals MUCH better. It has given me the confidence I needed to try something else, then something else and still…something else.lol
