Dream Deferred!

Goal Setting
Goals are something that i take seriously. I have set goals for myself from sports to business to fitness to the raising of my boys. Unfortunately for my list of goals and personal satisfaction I haven't achieved/finished a goal that I've set for myself in a few years. Okay being more exact going on five years now. See the problem is that like Micheal Jackson sang with such fire "You wanna be starting something" is my hang up. I always come up with ideas on my career and then follow them until the frustration and boredom sets in. Then I stop

This years goal:
For the first time in my life i only set 2 goals to accomplish and thus far missed my deadlines so far.
1. To finish my children's book and create for self publishing.
2. To launch my shopping guide by selling out all the spots.

Although Ive missed my deadline the children's book is 75% complete. I feel confident that I will complete it by the end of the year to achieve my goal.

My main goal is to release an advertising publication this year.

The Successful Failure
The purpose of this blog is to write my journey in the quest of reaching my goals for the year. My main purpose is to inspire myself and others if anyone cares to read it. At this point I'm giving my business a 30 day deadline to complete. In terms of numbers I need to sell 45 spots in my ad guide for it to be a success. My break even point is 15 spots sold. To most this would seem like a very easy goal. And i honestly believe that it is as well. The problem is I've been trying this or a variation of this project since 2000. Fear, excuses, drinking, laziness, boredom, being homeless, and lack of patience have all continued to be obstacles that have stopped me in my tracks. I've now decided that this is it. With a wife and three kids I need to stop "playing" and make things happen or go out and get a job that will take care of us.

So tonight as i look forward to taking the first step in my journey I look on with positivity and a little fear. I feel that if i can stick to my plan. 100 calls a day, 8 strong hours of work. I will make it happen. If anyone decides to read this please feel free to give your advice! Good luck and I will see you in 30 days successfully achieving the goal.
