LAST Quarter!!! Where are you in your Goals?

LAST Quarther!!!  Where are you in your Goals?

Each new year brings a new hope, a new dream.  Then we get to set out and take the actions to make that dream a REALITY.

So, Just checking in....  Where are you in your goals?  Are you still working on them?  Did you achieve them?  Did you surpass them?

There's a challenge with goals....  If we stretch, we could fail.  Say, for instance, your goal was to reach $10,000 or more per month, for an annual income of $120,000.  And you ONLY achieved $9,000 per month, so your income was only $108.000.  Did you fail?  TECHNICALLY, yes!  And that reminds me of the old adage; "Reach for the moon, if you miss it; you'll land in the stars."  (Now, if there are any Scientists, astronomers and other literalists, out there don't correct this; we know the stars are beyond the moon; work with me, ok?)

So, whereever you are in your projected outcomes for the year, acknowledge yourself.  You've reached the 3rd quarter. 

If you're not where you wanted to be; forgive yourself.  Look at where you spent your time, money, advertising budget, resources to see what worked and do more of that.  AND Look at where you spent your time, money, advertising budget, resources that DID not work and do less of that.

I've met a coach recently; Stacey O'Byrne.  She teaches the Secrets of a Master Networker.  After 8 years, I thought I was great at networking, just looking to get a slight advantage. And the information I learned from her was invaluable!  Things like a profitability spreadsheet for networking groups.  I've been in my LeTip group for 8 years; in the past year, I've gotten ZERO from the group.  And, as a MASTER CONNECTOR, I've given between 8 - 22 tips per WEEK.  Guess where I'm NOT going to be spending my advertising budget anymore???

If you've reached your goals?  Pat yourself on the back!  Maybe it's time to step up those goals, or at least plan on stretching in the next year.

If you've SURPASSED your projected outcomes, look at what you did RIGHT.  Who were you being that had you surpass what you thought you were capable of?  Did you play small in your projections?  Or did you make that one degree of change that resulted in being in an entirely different place at the end of the year?  Did you do the work on yourself and the work on your business that resulted in this achievement?  And are you sharing it with others so they, too can duplicate your success?

Wherever you are in your goal attainment, let's step forth POWERFULLY into the 4th Quarter!  (She said, with a broken foot.)  Let's make the changes necessary, and move into 2012 WITH VELOCITY!
