Why do we not achieve our goals?
In our first event of 2010, we focused on setting SMART goals. Mitzi Taylor of Not so Basic Training showed us the formula we should use to create Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-based Goals. This focus was assuming that most of us knew what we were aiming for. I heard it said: "You will be 1000 times more likely to achieve your goals if you write them down". Does this mean if we apply pen to paper that we will succeed?
What's Happened to Last Year's Goals?
Many of us may be uncertain of what last years goals really were. We may not have taken time to evaluate our progress. We may have stopped short by never beginning to make progress. Maybe it is because we lacked the motivation, but more than likely it was because we didn't know where to start. In the words of Dr. Phil "How's that working for you?"
Seriously, Now is not the time to be sarcastic about our progress, but to dig a little deeper and find out what we can do to change the outcome.
Be Unstoppable . . . and Find Your Passion will be the focus for this event.
Presented by: Rhonda Geneva, President of 3 Degrees Connected, and Barb VerCande, Life Coach of Create a New Story.
This event is free, space is limited to the first 40 registered members or guests.
We hope we can help you find your greatness in 2011.

January 27, 2010 - Our Next Event
Welcome to 2010, as you approach this new decade . . . are you interested in revitalizing your business? Setting goals should be at the top of your priority list. 3 Degrees Connected™ is interested in your business success, so our January event has been designed to assist you in either setting goals, or re-accessing the goals you already have.
· Have you taken time to write down specific goals for your business?
· Are you goals written in such a way that you can evaluate how well you are achieving them?
· Is your success measured on a “gut feel” or do you have a method to evaluate your progress?
· Have you shared your goals with others who may be interested in helping you make the right business connections?
Many women fail to plan for their businesses, and as the old saying goes “if you fail to plan, you plan to fail”.
Let’s hope not! But how can you aim for a target that doesn’t exist? If you want to make the most of networking and stimulate the growth of your business, we suggest that you start by writing down your business goals.
We would like to encourage you to pay attention to the goals you have committed to paper. Without evaluation, goals are nothing more than resolutions that are quickly forgotten.
Last we would like to share your goals with others. Whether you think of this as accountability or encouragement is up to you; however, if no one knows your goals, how can they assist you in the process or working toward achievement? Our January meeting has been set to help you create S.M.A.R.T.E.R. goals for your business. This best part, this event is FREE!
And . . . who couldn't use a little help in the area of Time Management? January's meeting will also provide some insight on how to evaluate whether you are making the best use of your time. Mitzi Taylor from Not So Basic Training will be sharing advice on how to establish "SMARTER" goals, and apply Time Management principles that can help redirect your business in the New Year.
Winter in Michigan . . . where do you find your source of energy as the sun hides behind the clouds? Who wouldn't be interested in learning how to create energy in your workspace using the five elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water? Jenna Boyd from Elements of Harmony will discuss how to use the principles of Feng Shui to create new energy which can lead to greater prosperity, increased productivity, create new business opportunities, or amplify your business connections. Learn about her upcoming workshops. Sound interesting?
