Another Year, Another Season of Lent

Well folks, we’ve come full circle to when I first got really active on my blog. It’s Lent right now, and if you are not familiar with the season, that’s okay. In simplest terms I have 40 days and 40 nights for reflection. During that time I can give something up or take something on. One year that meant attempting to run a 5K which evolved into attempting to train for a half marathon. I was on track with my fitness until this past fall when I took on a big project that took all my spare time.
So this year I am taking on some fitness goals but I’m also taking on some business goals. If you want to follow along with the fitness side, check out my other blog. But here I’ll be talking about the importance of setting goals and how to reach them. I’ve even changed the title of this category to Big Goals as part of the challenge.
Years ago before I graduated from Meredith College I took part in an intensive program known as Leadershape. For one week we worked on developing a vision, setting stretch goals, and identifying the steps necessary to reach those goals. I have found that this is something I use on a regular basis. I may not always have a clear vision but I know what big goals I want to reach and I plan out the steps to reach them.
Join me in the coming days as I set my Stretch Goal, and then work to reach it with small milestones and hard work.
