Making goals and making them work for you!

Today I am thrilled! THRILLED  I tell you!

I made a goal for October. I wasn't sure how but I wanted to recruit 2 new upline. This makes 4! I mentioned to a friend what I was wanting to do and how much I wanted to earn the cruise this year! She signed up. What a great friend! How supportive! I am going to keep reaching for the satrs because you never know when you might catch one. Thanks Leiloni, you are a star in my book. What a terrific friend!

20 miles a day

I saw a story this morning about success. I want to apply the concepts to my life. The story talked about making a cross country trip walking. It said there were 2 ways to do it. One way would be to walk 50 miles on good weather days and less on bad weather days. Another way would be to walk 20 miles a day not matter what. The point was to make an obtainable goal every day and do it. Not to let the outside influences hold you back. I am doing this with my business.  My long term goal is to earn the cruise for next year. My short term goal is to make 2 contacts every day. Wether I call an old customer or make a new contact. There are lots of little goals along the way. Keep watching and see what happens!

What are you long term and short term goals? How can I help you achieve them? is it to stay better contected with friends and family? I can help you make lovely cards that show others how much you care! Would you like to get more scrapping done so that your stories are documented for your family and friends to share? I can show you how to do it simplier easier and faster! Do you need to earn some income? Do you enjoy teaching others? I can help you start your own small business and do what I do!

Have blessed day!

That time of year

The weather has turned for the cooler. The leaves have started to fall. there is a certain crispness in the air and our sweaters are making their appearences. I got my first HOT coffee from starbucks today and am relishing the warmth. Fall is here for sure.

Time to pull out the craft supplies and get busy. Christmas cards to make. Fall decorations to pull out for the house. Time for friends and family to come in side and warm their hands and warm their hearts with each others company.

Hope to see all of my crafty friends in the next few weeks to work on projects!
