Welcome to the inaugural launch of my newsletter!  I am excited and honored that you are taking the time to check it out.  This newsletter will focus on goal setting, things that sometimes hold us back, and how to achieve success.

Have you ever set a goal and as soon as you take steps to make it happen, you come up with all the reasons it won't work?  Do you ever hear a little voice saying, "You don't have the experience or expertise", "Why change the status quo?" or perhaps someone close to you says "Things are fine the way they are".

In coaching, there is a concept called "trouble at the border".  Imagine drawing a line across a sheet of paper.  Write your wishes, dreams or goals on the bottom half.  Then write action on the top half. This is where the rubber meets the road. How many times have you become overwhelmed and stopped yourself from doing anything because you tell yourself your action needs to be impressive or noteworthy?

Listed below are four easy steps to successfully reach your goal.

1. Clearly identify your goal and why it is important to you.
2. Have an action plan outlining each step to take and a due date for each step.
3. Acknowledge and celebrate every accomplishment along the way.
4. Get support to stay focused and on track.

In putting together this newsletter, I experienced my own "trouble at the border".  By utilizing these four steps, the first edition was launched.  If you would like to be coached past your "trouble at the border", please contact me or check out my website for more information.

Sincerely,
