Gotta Get Goals — Yeah!

July 27, 2020 by Liz

Sit Up Straight

Alex Shalman and I have been talking by email. He’s a most engaging blogger. He seems to have a new idea every week minute that involves other bloggers interacting with him.

He’s the real deal about what he’s doing. I know, he’s managed to survive a whole string of emails with me. This morning even survived a phone call. Then IM’d me that I’m hilarious. Go figure!

Now, I’m doing a meme . . . because with three blogs of my own, two more that I write for, three important clients, several writing students, SOBCon 07, a book, the 200 Outstanding Blogs Project and another start-up project . . . I’ve been feeling like, a bit of . . . . um er, . . . . a slacker.

Alex started this project, but apparently he got Aaron involved. Aaron thought I

So, Aaron, here they are:

  1. Build something that makes a difference to humanity.
  2. Write something that moves people to realize their potential.
  3. Learn something that pushes my thinking deeper and truer.
  4. Dance more. Laugh more. Inspire more people, including myself.
  5. Finish the amazing and fun book about Larry and the dog.
  6. Gather enough money of my own to help anyone I want to help whenever I want to.
  7. Be extraordinary, live in extraordinary circumstances, do extraordinary things, without worrying about it.
  8. Fly around the world once a year again to see my friends.
  9. Give away everything that I know.
  10. Earn a 7 figure salary by serving those I love who love what I do.

I was going to tag some other slackers like me, but I think you all know who you are. So if you gotta get goals, spread some link love while you figure out the path to your dream. Don’t blow this off . . . having goals is the first step to getting there.

One little goal is enough for now . . . gotta get goals.

It doesn’t hurt. I promise.
