For Every Goal There is a Reaction

by Jill Crossland

One of my goals for 2006 is to write a book for women about starting & running a small business. I have the theme worked out and an outline prepared but there is so much more to accomplishing this goal.

• Schedule time to research, interview & then, actually write
• Look into self-publishing vs finding a publisher vs selling it as an e-book on my site
• The outcome of that decision will in turn lead to new things to learn and decisions to be made

I am excited about the book and I will get it done but I have to recognize that my one line goal has the domino effect. Each stage will impact on my existing business & personal life and that has to be taken into consideration as I set things in motion.

Too many times we jump into making a list of goals & resolutions without taking a look at the whole picture of our life. So, I urge you to use the beginning of 2006 as a time to reflect, review and restructure.

Over the next few months we will look at how you live your life. What you eat & drink, how you dress & decorate your home, how you do your job, schedule your time, take care of those around you and how you take care of you. Through small but significant changes you will find the time and energy to reach your goals. .

...and if you really need to make some resolutions

1. I am going to laugh more and stress less
2. I will be spontaneous
3. I will trust my instincts and not second guess myself

Now that is a good start to a successful year!
