November Goals
I hate to sound like a broken record because I’ve said this a million times on the blog this year but…
WHAT’S HAPPENED TO THE YEAR?????
It’s November already. We only have 8 1/2 weeks left in the year, and I swear it feels like we just celebrated the new year 2017.
However, with that said we may be close to the end, but we’re not yet done with 2017. We’ve got those 8 1/2 weeks to kick butt, to reach our goals, surpass them if you’ve already reached them, and to end the year just as committed as when we started it.
While I’m not ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas, I am super excited for it to be November 1st as I’m officially launching the project I’ve been working on (in some form or another) since the beginning of the year.
THE WRITING WARRIORS COLLECTIVE
“a writers community focused on providing education, motivation, inspiration, and support to writers on their publishing journey.”
You can find out more – and get special launch pricing – here.
It’s just so exciting to FINALLY see my hard work pay off for a product that I truly feel will help others reach their writing dreams!
But the name of this post is goals, so let’s talk about what I want to accomplish in November.
1. Get 30 paid signups to The Writing Warriors Collective. I have to admit I’m scared to put this out here but when you’re going after a big, scary, goal, I do believe you have to shout it out to the universe.
My plan is to work every day on promoting it and adding more content, so I feel it’s reasonable to get one new member per day.
2. Yoga 3 days a week. I’ve really fallen off the wagon with this one, and I don’t understand why it’s so had tog et motivated since my body literally hurts after a few days of no yoga. I still have boot camp until the 17th when the current challenge ends, and then I think I’m taking a break (it doesn’t fuel my soul like yoga). But I’ve got the time to do both for a few weeks. It’s strictly a laziness issue.
3. Protect my time. I am most creative in the morning, yet I find myself routinely scheduling things or talking with friends in the hours before 12 pm. Then after lunch, I want a nap and the rest of the day is not my best.
I need to be more selfish and protect the time that is going to get me to my goals. I am committing to you all right here, right now that I am working Monday – Friday from 7:30-12:30 offline getting writing done. Then I’ll get back online, have lunch, catch up with all the emails/texts that came in, and proceed with my day doing the tasks that don’t take that extreme mental effort.
This is going to be hard for me, but I feel if I don’t put myself and my work first this way I will not be able to make The Writing Warriors Collective successful. And that’s not an option.
That’s it. 3 things I’m focusing on. That’s another thing that is going to be hard about November. I’m usually all over the place, tons of goals, I want to do a million things but as I was reflecting last weekend on my trip to Belize that behavior is NOT helping me get to where I want to go.
This has probably been the most nervous I’ve been about my goals this year. I have a lot riding on the Writing Warriors Collective, and it’s scary.
What are your crazy/scary goals this month?
