Jessica’s jewelry has been picked up by boutiques on both coasts, has been featured in The Young Designers Showcase, magazines, and even a movie! She’s got some major business goals for the New Year, and she balances all this with a family! Yep - she’s a not only a mogul-in-the-making, she’s a momma.

Featured Blog: Beyond Mom

If there is one thing I love, it is a sense of humor. Jenny Gniadeki (pronounced Ny-decki) never misses the mark. She’s got a lot of wit - and a lot of brains. She is the force behind this post’s featured blog, Beyond Mom, as well as a few other businesses. Not only is she smart & funny, she can also be downright poignant. Read on as she talks about pulling the curtain on her hero. Dorothy would be proud!

Are you ready for the New Year??

As 2007 comes to an end, it is time to start thinking about what you would like to accomplish in 2008. The first step of creating a goal is to decide what your goal actually is.

This may sound basic, but it is important. Try to be as specific as possible. Rather than a goal to “make more money this year,” create a goal that says specifically how much extra you would like to earn per month, whether it is $100, $500, or even a $1,000.

It is also important for each goal to be measurable. In other words, you have to give yourself a timeline to complete the goal. If your goal is to start a business, do you plan on doing that in 2008? And if so, what month would you like to define as your launch month?

If your goal is open ended, you won’t be as motivated to work on it. Once you set a deadline, you will know that you need to get working on it in order to meet that deadline.

To be achieved, goals need to be realistic. If a person decides their goal is to complete a triathlon by April, yet they haven’t worked out in 10 years, the person is setting their self up for failure. The best goals require you to work a little bit harder than normal to achieve them, but remain something you can accomplish.

A great way to stay motivated is to tell others about your goal. Once you are accountable to someone else, you will not want to fail. You will want to prove to that person that you can succeed.

As you work on your goals, you may find it helpful to keep track of your progress. You can do this by writing in a journal or by creating a spreadsheet on the computer. By looking at how far you’ve come, you’ll be ready to take on the future.

To help you reach your goals, I have a New Year’s gift for you.
