Good morning all,
What an amazing week it has been. With everything that has been going on I actually have had a good amount of time for reflection.( I guess it has been the traveling in the car) it has got me thinking a lot about goals. At the end of last year I was told(by some very wise women) to sit down and write down some goals for 2010. It was really easy at the time but now that I have had sometime to reflect I think I may have tried to short change myself. I had to write down 10 goals. Seemed easy enough at the time. I thought ok well I should write
1.Finish top 5 Figure in Vegas
2.25 clients per week for training
3/4.Build my Ambassador/Sunday Sessions
5.Photo Shoot
Ect, ect

Nowhere did I really have a goal down that I would really have to put a good amount of effort in. I mean yeah top 5 finish is pretty lofty but it can be done. I wanted to write Cover--Magazine Spread---Booth Work. But I was to afraid to write it down. And the reason was what if I don't do it this year! What if people read this and laugh at me! What if it can't be done in a year! What I have come to realize is that it is ok. The Goals you make our yours not anyone else's. No one has the right to judge or minimize the goals we have set for ourselves. So what I am trying to say is--go back and readjust what your goals were for this year. Go out of your box and lay it out on the line. I have a saying that I tell all my clients. I will give you all the tools you will need to build your house. I have brought the hammers, wood and nails but it is up to decide when and how your going to build it.

ok well I always promise to keep blogging but to avail I always break that promise. It's not that I don't think it is not important because it really is. I really think that sometimes I break my cardinal rule that I yell at everyone about. Stop running around like a crazy person and remember to take time for me and to smell the roses.

Let me explain......

I had an opportunity to go to a casting call last weekend. I had submitted a letter and some heads shots back In the beginning of January. I received word that this company would like me to come in for an audition. I was so excited and called them back right away. Here were I had to struggle with being a full-time mom(single parent while dad is away playing Navy) and remembering that if I don't take this dream and make it come true no one is going to do it for me. So I called the gal back and she said that we are conducting the auditions on Sunday. SUNDAY WHAT!!!!! My kids are playing 2 hours away in a soccer tournament. How am I going to do this? On the first hand I feel guilt even wanting to do this--what kind of mom would leave her kids or make them leave tournaments early? But what kind of mom has no life for herself and what kind of role model would I be giving up my dreams? So I talked with the gal and said can I call you back? Let me see what I can do? I made a couple of phone calls and got the girls a ride back from Georgia and booked my audition at 5 pm on Sunday--the latest they would see me. Boy did that pay off today I got the call that I got the job and will be in the Stein Mart National Commercial for Spring!!!!!

So if you have learned nothing from this--just sit back and read it again. You are the only one to make your dreams come true--if you are waiting for someone else to do it for you , you may be waiting along time.
