I got tagged! Here is my BHAG MEME!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Platinum

I got tagged by Laura Baker.  By the way, Laura was nice enough to refer a client to me recently.  We are working together for the first time, but hopefully not the last.  I feel as if we know one another already, although we have not yet met.  Thanks sweetie!

 

So here's The 2011 BHAG MeMe!

Here's the MeMe Rules (please paste the following paragraph into your post as you are tagged)

I'd like to know what YOUR Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) is for 2011.  I'd also like to know more about you, and your background, what is it about you that makes this BHAG so important?  What experiences are you bringing with you into 2011 that will make this BHAG work? So I'm asking you to please share 5 or 6 things about yourself, and then tag 5 or 6 more people so we can learn about them too! (Here's a MeMe Tutorial)

 

My BHAG for 2011 is twofold. Career wise, I want to continue to increase my google juice (now, if we could just do something about the actress Kristen Johnston!), refine my blogging skills, and increase my business by 20% over last year (I had a great year last year).  Personally, I want to continue to help the animals.  Too many animals are in shelters, bought rather than adopted, live outside in poor conditions, etc.  I want to educate the public and save more furbabies!

Also, Here are 7 facts you probably do not know about me (since I kinda cheesed out on the BHAG section---gotta love the cheese,Packer reference, huh?):

1. I am an identical twin.  I talk to my sister, Kelly, about 10 times a day, and email/text constantly...no joke!

2. I married my high school sweetheart.  We met when I was 16, and we have been together 21 years, married 17 years!

3. I am a HUGE animal rights activist and lover, but OK, you might know that one by seeing some of my posts already!  I have 3 rescue/adopted cats, although my hubby is allergic.  Oops!

4.  I was born in Sheboygan, WI, and am the youngest of 6 children (I am 3 minutes younger than my twin!).

5.  I graduated Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI with a BS in Business Administration, International Business, Human Resource Management and Spanish.

6.  I lived and studied in Madrid, Spain for over 6 months and LOVED every minute of it.

7.  I have a thing for german engineering---I love German cars, BMWs, Mercedes, etc.

 

Since I am going out of town, and leaving for appts shortly, I will have to skip the tagging this time.  You are welcome friends !  LOL!

Have fun out of town and have a safe journey.  Love the shared items, having a sister & twin how wonderful, I am the only girl in my family.  Thanks for the no tag .. I love to read about others but find I am pale in comparison to their exciting lives.
