If you don’t try, you are saying NO to yourself before you start
Posted by Teresa | Under Writing Lessons Monday Jan 12, 2009This post came from looking at my statistics from this site. When I looked at the list of links I am receiving views from I noticed a shocking but pleasant discovery.
The post I did January 2008 Blog Conversation Key Business Partners & Friends appeared high on the list.
It is interesting to me to realize others are still reading the post. Then I thought…well, it is the new year and a good time to perhaps write about goals for this year as I focus to work with authors and writers.
First, I thought I would go back and see if I had accomplished some of the goals I had set up for myself last year.
I had changed my site at the beginning of the year last year too. Apparently this is a “trend” for me. My business is evolving and so with it my website reflects these changes.
And I had updated my Coaching Forms Kit (I don’t have it on my site anymore) and created a new product to go along with it. Now even though I do not promote these products anymore, at the time last year I had accomplished those goals because I finished these products I created.
So for this year, I have decided to keep shaking things up and adding new things—
I have, as you know, changed my website this year too. I really like the feel and look of the site—the colors are vibrant and cheerful—like ME!
I have completed my 1st YouTube live Video—it took me a few takes…however, I liked doing it and will be doing more this year.
I have started my own radio show on Talk Show for authors and writers.
And…
I am working on my first book this year…I will have it written by the end of this year. I have a few books in mind.
It may seem like I have tons of time of my hands but it is just planning and taking the DELIBERATE action towards these goals. I will tell you, my first youtube video isn’t the best, however, I did it. I accomplished it.
The radio show is just starting. But I took the time to set it up, email guests, and I have my first guest tomorrow at 10am…Susan Gunelius.
One of my philosophies, if you don’t try, you are saying NO to yourself before you even know what the outcome is going to be for you. At least if you try it you will GIVE yourself the experience. It could be something you think you want to do, turns out it isn’t or vice versa. Something you thought you had no interest in, you truly enjoy. So don’t hinder yourself and your goals by not trying.
So what are some things you want to try this year? What are your goals for this year? or how about this month? How are you planning to accomplish these goals?
Hello!
I love the colors of this site too!
The title and content of this blog are perfectly optimistic and very motivating. So so true!!
Many people, out of fear, don’t even get to the action part of their plans. They talk themselves out of something without even an effort.
Thank you for writing this entry and dealing with this head on.
And congratultions on your huge accomplishments too!
All the best,
Julette
