Goal Setting Works!

Real Estate Agent with Big Block Realty 858.232.8722 CA BRE# 01261476

Every year in December I steal away for 2 days with my bride to a hotel and we lock ourselves in and review "last year's goals" and then set "next year's goals". It's become a fun tradition we count on more than vacations. It has brought us closer, more in touch with each others small wants and lofty dreams and most importantly we learn how to champion & support each other while on our quest to be better tomorrow than we are today . In December 2012, one of my business goals was to create a farm and secure/sell a listing in Vista La Jolla, one of my favorite neighborhoods near where I live. So I started walking my dog here. Then I met a resident in January 2013, that homeowner introduced me to another neighbor in February 2013 and today, 3/22/13 I present to you....

I think that is a wonderful idea. That way both spouses are on the same page for the upcoming year!

Yes Kristin, but keep in mind that "on the same page" means "aware of, able to be supportive of" each other's goals, which may be dramatically different.

My wife & I have similar goals on where we'll live, money, how we spend our vacations, etc. But, our career and some personal goals, very different. That's good and the key is to just be supportive, even if it has nothing to do with you as a couple.

For example my wife wants to further her acting opportunities with more acting lessons. I have no interest in acting, but I support her process, due to her having taken the logical steps and budgeting appropriately for previous acting classess & training and also sh'e worked bit roles in movies and commercials as a result of her efforts so far.

So same page means to me: "you are aware of", "supportivie of", "don't stand in the way of", etc. each others goals, no matter how "crazy" or "far fetched" they may seem, no matter how little interst you have in them for yourself, it's about being supportive.
