Success is goals and everything else is commentary

I  heard this quote from Brian Tracy. And I’ve heard it worded many different ways but it really is the foundation of any business – any life actually. After being in business for 18 years and being at this thing called life for 43 years –   I had never really heard of this concept. Sure I knew you had to set goals but that was what you did at Weight Watchers! I had no clue how important goals were to success in Every Area of life. So I set some goals – some lofty goals. My Motto – Go Big or Go Home! In my naiveté I thought that after setting these goals – in mere months I would be skinny, rich and happy. Ya …. That didn’t happen. Seven years later I am still working on those big goals – but I’ve come a long way since then. And I am on my way to being skinny and rich! And I’ve realized that happiness is a choice so Damn it – I chose Happy! There are endless articles, DVDs,CDs, books, Podcasts etc on goal setting so I won’t try to go there. But what I will share is how I take all the great ideas I’ve learned on goal setting – which I’m sure are mostly written by dads (just sayin’) and adapt them to being a mom. What works for me is this crazy Teeter Totter, up and down, back and forth thing I call my life. I am going to give you the concepts then tell you how I fit them into my reality.
