I'm reading a really great book: Push by Chalene Johnson. I'm not one to read motivational literature, but when I saw this book by Chalene in the latest issue of Women's Health I knew I had to check it out.

I "know" Chalene from Turbo Fire, which I own and occasionally rock out to. (Whoa, cardio.) I was excited to see that she had a published book, and purchased it immediately. And I'm glad I did.

The book is set up as a 30-day program to get your life organized, with an obvious emphasis on fitness. However, I see this book really helping get my head straight on other aspects of my life, like my business.

One exercise that I've come across is to sit down weekly and create 10 outrageous goals that you hope to come to fruition in the next 12 months. Making easily doable goals is good, but making goals that you may think are just out of reach makes is more fun, and more rewarding, if and when you actually meet them.

They can be related to relationships, fitness, business, finances. Anything! This may end up getting a little personal. Just warning you, but I think it's going to be goooood.

So, I'm going to give it a try.

  1. I will keep this up every week for a year.
  2. Conduct a live Indie Shopography session.
  3. Eat a vegan diet at least 5 days/week.
  4. Completely pay off at least one of my student loans.
  5. David and I have a weekly no-kid date night.
  6. Exceed 2011 revenue by $50,000.
  7. Juice 6-8 times a week.
  8. Run three 5Ks.
  9. Read 100 books.
  10. Enjoy 6 weeks of vacation time.

So that's it! 10 goals, some quite a bit more out there than others. All of them somewhat attainable, but it's going to take some work! A challenge: I think I can handle that.

What about you? What kind of goals are you setting for yourself and your business?
