Wonderous New Year
Happy New Year
A year is filled with many things, challenges as well as gifts.
This past Fall Our oldest daughter entered Kindergarten while her younger sister entered preschool. They both are enjoying school and learning. For them it's been an adventure in learning new things and meeting other children.
In the same token, I've learned some new things and have met other people too.
In my business, I've learned to network online and offline. I recently joined a local networking group and have enjoyed meeting new contacts. I've also attended online events and presented my business at a couple of them.
In implementing new things to add to my business I'm happy to say I've come across some wonderful projects to be involved in. One such project developed from a professional pencil portrait group. A sub-group was formed to offer portraits for soldiers who lost their lives in service: Soldierportraits.org. I recently did a soldier portrait and found it a moving and wonderful experience.
Another project is on the horizon. A huge mural about horses. There will be information on this project in the coming issues.
With implementing these and other new things into my business I've found that writing down goals each week has helped me stay focused and reach for bigger goals too.
I attended a wonderful seminar about resolutions and goal setting by Felicia Slattery. Felicia is a communications consultant. She offers courses and information about communicating in business.
I'd like to share 3 tips that she presented that I feel could help us all.
"3 P's of writing New Year's Resolutions for your business"
Using these three little gems alone will instantly put you miles ahead of where you may have been
in the past.
A. Positive: Goals should be phrased positively, so they help you
feel good about yourself and what you're trying to accomplish.
B. Personal: Goals must be personal. They must reflect your own
dreams and values, not those of friends, family, or the media. When
your goals are personal, you'll be motivated to succeed. You'll also
take greater pride in your accomplishments.
C. Possible: When setting goals, be sure to consider what's possible and within your control. If you want to make some drastic changes in your life, you cannot do everything at once. Start with
three things to change.
Felicia Slattery is a communication consultant, speaker and coach
specializing in training home-based business professionals to see
