To start, I'm going to make myself a bit more accountable by taking a leaf out of Sara's page and putting up some monthly goals and then reviewing at the end of the month to see how I did at them. At times it will be very disappointing, and other times it will be very encouraging, and hopefully I can use this to see those times that aren't as productive as an area for improvement and really get into what held me back.
So - here goes. It's a little early for March goals, but I am excited and want to get started right away!
- Discuss with Raphael when he’d like to commit to Swing class (July? August? September?)
- Make Galas and Gifts a Priority by completing the website update, reviewing and rewriting the business plan and creating a plan for advertising.
- Read APW book & review with Raphael
- Read Concierge Humor book – for fun!
- Get to gym at least x3 per week every week
- Re organize office: get rid of two projects and materials
- Complete monogrammed pizza peel project
- Begin work with Raphael on our family’s “mission statement”
- Discuss with Raphael the idea of creating chore lists and sticking to them
- Get items to Guild at least twice (clothing!)
- Determine Blog Priorities – two blogs? Three? Personal: arts and crafts? Family mission statement? Product reviews, travel, etc; goals, etc Business: Galas and Gifts – what I’m doing to promote it, events that I do, suggestions for brides and grooms wedding: MY wedding only
What I like about these goals is that they really speak to what's been bothering me in my world lately. Feeling helpless about my job / work situation, feeling disspointed in myself with regards to my ability to execute on making a small business work, and feeling generally stiff, tired, and un healthy. They also set me up for goals I will put on the list in April like ramping up the blogging by comitting to create a certain amount of content weekly, and executing pieces of the advertising plan. Other things in there will help me work on bigger yearly goals for 2012, which are outlined below.
- Keep getting healthy! This is a team goal between R and me
- Make some money off G&G
- De clutter (I feel like this is always a goal, and that's GOOD!)
- Keep improving my relationship with R, in order to build a strong emotional, financial, and physical foundation for our life together
That's where I am right now!
What are your goals for March? What's inspiring you right now?
