Goal of the Week #49: Add Spark to Your Projects

Ellen WhitehurstThis Week’s Goal: Add “spark” to your projects.

It can be difficult when you are working on a passion project to maintain that sense of excitement… especially when you have been working on it for a while. So, this week, take time to remember what sparked the idea in the first place.

Look over old notebooks, re-read your project’s mission statement, re-familiarize yourself. Then find something fun you can do – write a promo post, rewrite your future bio with this project in it – to re-ignite your excitement.

What will you do this week to ignite your passion project?

March Goals

academyawardsYes, it’s March already. And if you are wondering, “when did that happen?,” you are not the only one. The year is flying by already. Although you may be feeling the urge to chuck all of your goals and start over in 2015, don’t! Just stay the course. You may not be exactly where you want to be so far this year, but there’s plenty of time.

The Academy Awards were last night. And whether or not you’re a fan of the Oscars, there’s really something special about watching people accept an award and reflecting on all the challenges they faced along the way. They achieved a dream that they perhaps never thought probably, but always thought possible. That’s why they kept going.

So, think about it: What’s you’re dream? And what can you do in the month or March to start or keep you on that path?

Please post your dreams or goals … or both in the comments.
