Dare To Dream

Incredible Year Business Workbook

As part of my action plan to get more done this year I got myself a copy of the Incredible Year Business Workbook and Planner by Leonie Dawson. It's a very simple notion - review the previous year, then plan ahead for the coming year - but it's great to have the steps laid out for you.  In setting your goals for the coming year Leonie encourages you to DREAM BIG and write down exactly what you would like to get out of the year.  That's what I spent yesterday morning doing and I have to say it was liberating.  I had to stop myself several times from scaling back my hopes because they were too big or too unrealistic.  Once I got over that I was amazed by how many ideas I had for taking the business forward.  When you approach things from a position of what's possible rather than what's not possible your field of vision opens right up and you start to notice things that you otherwise would have missed.  After all if you aim for the moon you'll get a lot further than if you aim for the bottom of the garden, right?

Do you dare to dream?  Try it. Write down everything you would like to do or achieve this year, no matter how big or small, whether it's business/career-related or personal.  Leonie is (and so am I) a great believer in that if something is written down it's more likely to get done.  Keep the list somewhere you can refer to it from time to time, and see what happens...

Scented Candles

I've been thinking about making scented candles using some of my stash of unused essential oils for a while.  In fact I've amassed a selection of likely containers in readiness for the occasion. My latest purchase were these glasses from IKEA, which were on sale for better than half price (don't tell my husband!). 

I've got the wax, the wicks, the aroma and the containers. Now all I need is the will! I hope that posting this will make me more likely to get the candles made.  Watch this space...

2013 - My Year of Action!

Happy New Year! I hope you've had a restful and happy time over Christmas and New Year.  Things here were a little subdued because of illness, but we had a good time and I enjoyed being cocooned for a little while.

I always find it hard to return to "normality" after the Christmas break, and lately I've been finding it hard to focus.  Inertia is my constant companion.  I know I have some issues that are holding me back - but I can't seem to get to the bottom of them.  That is why I want 2013 to be my year of action.  So I'm taking steps to try to bring about a change in my approach to life.  I'm sure that this can only have a positive effect on my business too.

So here's to a year of awareness, action and results! What are your hopes for the year ahead?
