Welcome to the first post of 2018!
I wish we could have had an NYE blogger party full of champagne boomerangs, glitzy glam dresses, and Insta worthy photo booths. How fun would that be!?
This past year flew by whether we were ready for it to or not. Whether our goals were accomplished or not, January 1st still came. And that actually is exciting because EVERYONE no matter what you did or didn't accomplish, we all have a fresh slate of 365 opportunities in front of us.
I am SO ready for this year and I already know it's going to be BIG, and crazy, and fun, and successful and most importantly, it's going to be significant.
Goal posts are my favorite ones to write so I hope that as I share some pretty personal goals in this post, that they will inspire you to at least pick one goal that you can put your whole self into and come back January 1st, 2019 in a different place because you chose to bet on yourself today.
I pretty much layed out the majority of my goals, and yes I decided to just be real and share numbers and specific goals because two reasons:
1. Sharing goals has the ability to inspire others because they see how much their life can relate to the goals. It also helps to create belief in people because they see someone in a similar situation dreaming big.
2. Sharing goals keeps you accountable because you literally just shared them with the world and so the pressure is on to basically put your money where your mouth is. :)
