I'm not that big on resolutions but unless you're just visiting for the first time, you know I've very big on goals. I set monthly goals, birthday goals, business goals & yearly goals. I set big goals, small goals, overly ambitious goals and simple goals. I even wrote an ecourse on goal-setting.
My focus on goal-setting over the past few years has helped me grow creatively. I have found that the more goals I set and obtain, the more inspired (& motivated!) I feel both personally and professionally. I look forward to each year as an opportunity to dream up new intentions.
In 2014 I'd love to :
- take a pottery class
- start a podcast
- finish decorating the house (hallway, master bedroom, entryway & bathrooms)
- launch a shop newsletter
- grow a decent vegetable garden
- finish off the backyard
- take a trip as a family
- capture one photo of the three of us each month
- take my shop in a new direction
Three major business goals and six major personal goals. They are specific (well, not that last one but that's because my plan is currently under wraps) and will involve a decent amount of work, time, effort (and in some cases, money) but the benefits should be numerous.
Goals should make you excited, not horrified (or even worse, bored) and all of these are layer three (more on that here) tasks that I cannot wait to make progress on.
Let's roll, 2014.
