How to Close Out the 1st Quarter of 2016

Always remember, that it’s never too late. I know it sounds super cheesy, but it’s true. And speaking of never too late, if you haven’t already, it’s not too late to create your vision board for 2016. And it can be super easy if you use modern technology. Have you seen my infographic 8 Specific Reasons Why Pinterest Should Be Your Next Vision Board Project? If you have a smart phone, that’s the ONLY supply you need. Wine is optional. You don’t need magazines, scissors, poster board, glue. NONE OF IT. And honestly, that’s half the battle of putting together a great vision board. All you really need is inspiration.

Since Pinterest is an internet-based app, it kind of is the Wild Wild West of possibilities. So, there is a little work before you get started…Let’s take some time to THINK and WRITE before we start pinning. Let’s think seriously about what the purpose of this vision board is, then let’s think about any goals related to this vision board that you want to accomplish, then let’s write them down. And then, I want to challenge you to take it one step further. After you write those things down, think about how to can break down your goal(s) to make them specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive. In other words, be SMART about it.

In an effort to help you think about your next steps as you are approaching the 2nd Quarter of 2016, I’ve provided a 4-part journal. It’s divided into 4 categories: faith, family, focus, and finances. I'm calling it the "WTF Journal" and it's not what you think, even though your next steps, or lack thereof can have you feelings that way. I'm challenging you to ask these questions:

1.) Where's the faith?

2.) Where's the family?

3.) WHere's the focus?

4.) Where's the finances?

So, what are you waiting for? Get to work.
