May 2014 Goals

May 5, 2014 By

Purple flowersIf April showers bring May flowers, here’s the question: How have the seeds you planted this earlier this year on your projects been growing? Is your project starting to sprout? Is it blooming? And what sort of time and attention do you need to give to your project in order to make it grow.

Like with anything, the more time you spent on something, the faster it is likely to grow. However, if time is limited, just spend a little time each day, every week, and you will start to see the results…

Here’s hoping you all have a bountiful harvest!

What will you do in May to get your projects to bloom? Post your May goals in the comments.

April Goals

April 7, 2014 By

FoolsNo Foolin’. It’s April already.  How did you do on your March goals? How are things shaping up for April?

It’s not only the beginning of the month, it’s beginning of the second quarter of the year. Take some time to reassess what you have accomplished this year and Q1, before you figure out your goals for Q2.

What was your greatest accomplishment so far this year? What did you plan to do? What still need to get done?

Carry over your most important goals to April-May-June. If there’s something that didn’t get done and can wait, that’s fine. Just put it on the backburner.

For April, if you find yourself struggling to catch up, just set attainable goals. Lay off the reach goals for the month. Once you start accomplishing, you’ll be amazed at what you can get done with a little momentum. And that’s no joke!

What are your goals for April? For Q2?

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

March 10, 2014 By

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?

* * *

Need some extra encouragement. Join lifestylist and author Ellen Whitehurst, Make this your Lucky Day, and me for the March Virtual Write On Meeting on Blog Talk Radio, Wednesday, March 12, 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern. We will talk about reigniting the spark for you and your projects! Call in (646-381-4910), or listen online.

Goal of the Week #48: Do Something Fun Every Day

February 24, 2014 By

Maxine & DebThis Week’s Goal: Do Something Fun! I often suggest people should do something fun at least once a week. And I truly believe that an important part of life is to take breaks regularly, so you do not get stuck in a rut. But why stop there?

This week, we’re going to amp it up a bit. Do something fun every day. This goal of the week was inspired b Maxine Nunes (left) at last week’s LA Creative People hangout. Maxine, like many of us, works too hard and needs to give herself a break. When I suggested she should do something fun every week as her monthly goal, Maxine countered. “Why only do one fun thing a week?” she asked. “Do something fun every day.” So there you have this week’s goal!

Track your fun activities and post them in the comments. Maybe you’ll inspire someone else to do something fun too!

What fun things will you do this week?

Goal of the Week #47: Schedule an Hour a Week

January 27, 2014 By

ScheduleThis week’s goal: Schedule an hour a week to work on your passion project. An hour may not seem like a lot of time, but, believe me, it all adds up.  If you have more time, that’s great. But most people struggle to find any time at all to work on the project they love that is not yet bringing in money.

This project may be along the lines of a non-fiction book or novel, a new product or app, or a new website or blog. And it is usually either something that enhances/adds to a person’s business or it’s a side project that a person hopes to turn into full-time work one day.

No matter what the reasoning, scheduling time to work on such projects is an important part of the process. Make an appointment with yourself – and put the time in your calendar, ideally as a regular weekly appointment.

Long-term projects will get done. Just work on them consistently until you reach the finish line.

What long-term project will you put on your schedule?
