Start the new year off right from Day ONE - set your goals and intentions NOW.

I spent today improving a few things to make my business run better in 2012 and one of them was to set goals that I can start taking the steps to achieve on January 1... or at least Monday, January 2...
I downloaded this SMART goals worksheet from "Coaching for Impact" and have it filled out and ready to go. I am accompanying it with a list of daily, weekly and monthly steps to help me reach my goal of earning $150,000 by the end of 2012. There, I said it. Now you can set your intention too.
Good luck. Let's support one another. What is YOUR goal for 2012?

Merry Christmas!

My Favorite Winter Time Cookie Recipe...

CHINESE SPIDER COOKIES

1 (12 oz.) bag of chocolate chips
1 (12 oz.) bag of butterscotch chips
2 c. Chinese noodles

Melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a double boiler. After chips have melted, remove from heat and add Chinese noodles and nuts to melted chips. Mix and drop by teaspoons on wax paper. Let cookies set and harden. Store in an airtight container. Makes 4 to 5 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!

Small Business Saturday...and beyond...

Happy Thanksgiving!
I hope you all avoided the craziness in the malls on Friday and slow Cyber space on Monday, but I especially hope you shopped locally and supported smaller businesses on Saturday. Of course, you don't have to stop with Saturday. I encourage you to continue supporting your local small businesses and vendors.

So I don't double dose you with info...

Look to the right - my twitter feed. I post things on Twitter that show up here too.

Have you missed me?

Shame on me. I have not posted in a couple of months. This is a good thing. It means I'm busier so I'm just going to go ahead and say the economy is strengthening!
Has your business gotten busier in the past few months? Please share!
