When Goals Differ …
I was driving behind a car when the traffic light changed to orange. It was more than enough time for the car ahead to go through. But the man behind the wheel purposely slowed down to stop. Naturally I was annoyed.
As I looked at him I realized his goal was to stop to smoke. Mine was to get to work on time. Drove me crazy.
He was chilling. I was late. He appeared to have gone to the gym and was unhurriedly getting back. I needed to go to the gym but can’t (smirk). He may have a job that he can go when he pleases. Mine was to get there early or else…
But though I hated his actions, he was living his choice. I have to live with mine. We must stick with the choices we make. What’s your choice today?
Goals do differ. But we must be careful of goals that should be aligned such as on-the-job, or relationships. Some goals must go together as in organizations, joint partnerships, marriage and the like.
Check yourself.Are you on track with your goal? When things go awry, what do you do? Do share, we’d love to hear.
Cheers!

Need To Move To The Next Step? Here Are 9 Reasons To Work With A Coach…
We often ask the question why some people succeed when others don’t. It seems there is a missing element. Something we lack. The truth is that you can succeed at whatever you dream about; whatever you put your mind to achieve. Know that you don’t have to go it alone. Here are some reasons why people hire a coach to improve their lives and their business.
- People hire a coach to help put systems in place (e.g. time management, social media engagement, managing products, and managing people)
- When they know what to do but not how to do it
- Feel Stuck , confused
- When you want to make more money …want to do what you want to do
- When they know it’s time to break free
- When they figure out they can’t do it alone
- Need resources and don’t know where to find them (financial, legal, staffing, marketing, etc)
- When going through a period of transition. when they don’t know what is relevant (been away long)
- When fallen behind on their goals, dreams, and aspirations
Feeling confused and need help to navigate to the next step in your career or business? Lets connect.

Watching Your Dream UnFold…
I’m moving and they are renovating the space that I will be moving into. As they work, everyday I pass by and secretly take a peek at the progress of the work. It brings such joy and satisfaction to watch the place come to life. The same is true as I watch other dreams come true. I love HGTV – the home and Garden show where they have Fixer Upper, the Property Brothers and the others. It’s very hard for the contractors to keep their prospective homeowners at bay because they like to watch their dreams unfold.
That is true of all of us. Whether it is watching a business grow, a career come to life or a child get married. The Royal family is a sure example as millions watched around the world as a fairytale came to life. A ‘normal’ everyday American girl get married to one of Britain’s most eligible bachelor …Prince Harry.
Retrospective. So never give up on your dreams. At times the journey will get hard but keep plodding and watch that vision come to life. You will reap that enduring joy that it brings.
What’s the dream that you’re waiting on? Do share. We’d love to hear.
Cheers!
