Will YOU Stretch Your Goals?

Let’s get practical shall we?

8 months ago I set new financial targets for myself for the year. They included boosting my earnings by 60%. (I love stretch goals, don’t you?)

I have to admit that I gulped as I put those goals down on paper. I made that commitment very publicly, to 12 other people at a MasterMind retreat.

And, since I just updated them on the results so far, I thought I’d share them with you.

Why? Because all too often we worry about impressions others hold about us instead of focusing on the person we want to be in the world. And part of who I am is a professional who stepped up, did a very uncomfortable thing (setting that goal that had knots in my stomach AND saying it out loud)… and standing firm about it.

For me, the shift is in experiencing my self as… Tah Dah! Someone who set a significant goal AND already hit the 78% mark at the end of July. That’s 58% of the time I gave myself. And that’s also already the highest gross income I’ve ever mad.

I’m popping a bottle of the fizzy stuff to celebrate!

This year has been radically different than past years and I thought I’d share HOW that occurred in this week’s newsletter so watch for the article 2 days from now. YOU can take action on your goals and celebrate, too.
