March Already? Time for a goal re-evaluation!

Will it really be March this week? I have a hard time believing its already 2013 let alone almost March. Have you done the things so far this year you were hoping? Have you hit goals or are you tracking to hit your first two month goals?

I am constantly goal setting. With myself, family and clients. Yes, we all need to take time to have fun and live, but its hard to know where you are going if you don't have a plan. (And write it down and review it)

I like to set physical, financial, educational, fun and professional goals. I set them yearly and re-evaluate weekly and monthly. I give my goals deadlines and action plans. The goals are also broken into monthly quarterly, yearly and 5 year.

It is so rewarding to look back on a month, quarter or year and see all the goals that were achieved and your path to get there. I like the saying "Success, its not the destination, but the journey". Which is so true!

When I look back at my certifications, travels, big purchases and accomplishments I know the end result was great. But typically what I remember most and enjoy about the end result are all the great things that got me there.

With certifications I am learning and networking with other talented educators and with big purchases usually comes some longer hours at a job I love, and researching the decision (I love research . Travelling is something I am trying to do more and more of. Mostly because Adam loves it and anything we can do together is a win win. Also, because as I see my little one turn into a toddler I want to show her it all! Not in a rotten spoiled kind of way but in a learning, exciting and bonding kind of way.

I write this because I want you all to be successful in what you choose. You don't have to be a nerd like me. You can have a simple goal to take 2 vacations a year or lose 5 lbs. I am just asking you to write it down, in a spot you can re-evaluate it. Create some action steps to your goal and execute. You never know what other fun things will happen along the way.

Have a great week and get ready for March, it will be here Friday! My week is pretty busy but I will stay on here as I am able. Get ready for a fun "bikini ready" challenge after Easter.

Here are some highlights from my weekend with the family!
