I just survived 3 coasts in one week! It was awesome to see my old buds at the Athletic Business Conference in Orlando, meet some new friends at the IFX Franchise Meeting in San Diego and I just finished my last presentation for the year with the Massachusetts Convention Center Authority at the Boston Convention Center.
Now it is time to work on me. My last leg of this trip will be to Gainesville, FL for a session with my totally awesome speaking coach, Lou Heckler. I have been invited to present on the "Main Stage" at the National Speakers Association Annual Convention in Orlando in July and Lou and I will be planning that 20 minute speech with great attention to detail....imagine speaking to 4000 professional speakers!
I can't wait to spend the last two weeks of December at home with the Man of my Dreams and Kona the super lab. January 1 we will do our traditional goal setting session together! Read more about that below!
Wishing you a festive Holiday Season and a Fabulous New Year!
Your fan,

"Will
2010 Be a SMART year for you?"
By Ruby Newell-Legner
 When I decided to quit my full time job in 1996 and become
self employed as a professional speaker, I knew I needed the support of
my loving husband, Rich. From the day I came home from work and
announced, "Honey, I want to quit my job and become a speaker," I knew
we had to have a plan for the transition.
The year before I quit, we started a tradition that on New Year’s Day,
we would sit down together and have a goal setting session - just Rich
and I. That ritual for our family has been a strong component of our
happy marriage.
Here’s how it works:
At first he was more interested in Football on New Year’s Day but I
thought ahead and checked the schedule to plan our meeting in between
games. I then took the remote and we had our first short meeting. I had
a list of goals and he agreed they were a good start.
The next year, he brought some goals to the table and now we plan all
year what goals we are going to "Plan for" on that special day.
On January 1st, 1999 we wrote down 66 goals and by the end of the year
we had accomplished all but nine because of our focus and persistence.
Use these guidelines for setting YOUR goals:
- They must be written in first person without the word 'try'.
- They must be imaginable to the person making them.
- They must be exciting and worth working for.
Each goal meets the SMART criteria:
Specific - Define precisely the objective or outcome you want.
Measurable - Define objectively how you will know when you've attained it.
Action-oriented - Use action verbs to describe the steps required.
Realistic - Confirm your belief that the goal is indeed possible.
Timely - Set a deadline for reaching your goal. What is your ETA?
And one last tip - use "Goals" instead of "New Year’s Resolutions". Here’s what the stats say about New Years Resolutions:
Only 63% of people are keeping their resolutions after two months.
67% of people make three or more resolutions.
Top four resolutions:
Increase exercise
Be more conscientious about work or school
Develop better eating habits
Stop smoking, drinking, or using drugs (including caffeine)
It shows your commitment level when you share your goals with someone
so please let me know how you have put this tradition to work for you.
I look forward to hearing your goals and your progress towards
achieving them.
