Don't Set Resolutions - Set Goals

Goals are more quantifiable, measurable.   When you set a "resolution" do you stick to it?  No.  Because you cannot measure it.

This past May, I started using www.toodledo.com.  I learned about this online task list at the NAPO 2010 Conference.  It allows me to set goals - and check them regularly to see if I am on track.  I'm happy to say that the goals I set for myself and for my business in the beginning of 2010, I have met.  I think this program should get some of the credit.

I can also schedule my to-do's which I use to plan my goals.  www.toodledo.com will tell me what's overdue, due the next day and I can even look forward 7-10 days.

I can schedule a to-do from my phone, which is great when a task pop's into my head when I'm no where near a computer.

I can access www.toodledo.com from any computer.

So, set your goals, plan the tasks that will get you there and look forward to what you will accomplish in the new year!

You know what? The moment I embraced who I was becoming, is the moment that everythi

Self-sabotage.  How does it show up for you? Overthinking? Double booking your calendar? Doubting yourself? Negative self-talk? Procrastinating? Not finishing a project? Worrying? Feeling unworthy? All of the above? Think back to the last time self-sabotage showed up for you.  What form did it arrive in?  Use the list above for a reference or write one of your own. Identifying how self-sabotage is showing up for you is the first step in overcoming it. Often times, negative self talk shows up first.  Only to be followed close behind by self-sabotage. Our greatest enemy is usually - ourselves. Being uncomfortable in your own skin often leads to self-sabotage. Self-sabotage creeps in when we try to control our own destiny......instead of doing the hard work and then letting it evolve naturally.   Join me on Wednesday, March 28th at 11 a.m. CST.  We are going to dive deep into self-sabotage and learn how to identify and overcome it
