The Magic of Goal Setting

With a new year only a couple of days away, the topic of goal setting is on most people’s minds – especially if you’re in the entrepreneurial world!

It’s with perfect timing that I get to share an article I wrote for a new online magazine called Mosaic – created by happiness coach Chrissy Gruninger.

The Magic of Goal Setting

The topics in the first issue include:

  • Setting Goals
  • Stepping Out of Our Comfort Zone
  • Picking Ourselves Up When We Fall (Fail)
  • No Regrets

Each contributor shared a personal story with practical tips.  As you’ll see with my story (which starts on page 19), I talk about a goal I had to have my photography work exhibited in a NYC gallery.   I include both the practical as well as magical steps that occurred along the way.

If you’re interested in reading my story and getting tips on goal setting, you can either get it free on itunes or read it in PDF format.

Let me know what you think and I’d love to hear about a goal you’re setting for 2017!

You Snooze, You Lose – Missed Opportunities

You snooze you lose

You snooze, you lose!⠀
⠀
This morning my daughter woke us up at 7:30am (on a Saturday) to inform us that it snowed overnight and she was ready to go out and play.⠀
⠀
I was like wha?!? I was hoping to sleep until at least 8:30!⠀
⠀
I told her no, went back to sleep and got up at 8:30 to do some journaling and the rest of my morning routine.  She was giving me a look so I told her I’d be ready by 10. She wasn’t happy about that and complained but I still kept holding her off.⠀Even though I wanted to go out in the snow (photo opp) there were a few things I wanted to get done before heading out.
⠀
But she was right!  By 10am, the beautiful soft first snow of the season was already turning into sloppy NYC slush because it started to rain!⠀
⠀
I felt really bad because I know she was disappointed and for myself I was looking forward to getting some great photos in.⠀
⠀
Lesson learned in life and biz – seize the opportunities while they are there right in your face!⠀
⠀
If you wait and sit on things long enough, the opportunity will be gone.⠀
⠀
Start practicing making decisions faster and being a quick action taker now – not later!

Life Happens Now!
