Are you sick and tired of hearing about mission and vision?

I am devouring "Never Eat Alone" by Keith Ferazzi and even though I am only on Chapter two I highly recommend it. In chapter two he is bringing up the not so new idea of creating a mission. I must admit, even as a coach, there are times when I am sick and tired of thinking about my mission and my vision. Do you know I am especially repulsed by it when I am the foggiest about what it is, when I need it the most. The little child in me stamps her feet and screams "do we have to do this again, aren't we done with this already!". Last week she was stamping pretty hard and jumping up and down giving my four year old a run for her money. I was feeling a little lost and ungrounded as to which direction to steer my ship next.




That's when my guides started nudging me. First it was when I picked up "Creating Your Best Life" by Caroling Adams Miller, Mapp & Dr. Micheal B. Frisch, then in a conversation with a good friend and wonderful life coach Jessica Colp. When I had my call with my coach, there it was again and then in Never Eat Alone here it is again - Mission! The reason it keeps coming up is because it is so important and so necessary in our journey to success.
"The mission is often risky, unconvential, and most likely tough as hell to achieve. But it is possible. The kind of discipline that turns a dream into a mission, and a mission into a reality, really just comes down to a process of setting goals."



-Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferazzi



This weekend I will be reviewing, refining and cutting and pasting together my vision and mission. It's time and I think the weather couldn't be more perfect for it.
If you are looking for guidance with your mission, vision or goals for the new decade I have a few spots left in a THREE part tele-class starting this Monday. Go to http://bestyearyet.eventbrite.com/ for more details and to sign up.

You can also so see me up close and personal on Saturday at

If you prefer the self-study approach but like some structure you can check out my book designed with that purpose in mind at http://motivatemyself.com/Your_Exceptional_LIFE.html

Remember "an unwritten wish is just a dream, In writing, it's a commitment, a goal."
