    Does anyone write down their goals anymore? I recently began writing down my goals first thing in the morning, before I do anything else. I have to admit, at first I thought this was kind of hokey.. until I realized I was accomplishing more in one week, than I did in months in the past. Now, throughout my day, I find myself staying on task, and accomplishing almost everything I set out to accomplish. Has anyone else had a positive experience with setting goals and writing them down?

About Me

I consider myself very fortunate to have experienced so many facets of the business world at a relatively young age. It takes only a brief glance at my resume to recognize that I have bounced around in a lot of different industries, and have had a couple of distinct career changes.

I have gained what I like to call "breadth of knowledge". In this day of specialized skills, many people are handcuffed into a specific field; in fact, in order to be one of the best, I recommend staying in one field, and gaining the experience it takes to be the best!

For me, I was always very much interested in what I was doing, and then I grew bored, and tried something else, until I got bored again. This I do not recommend, but it is what it is, and I have turned it into an advantage for myself. I now can run my own business, because I know many of the particular segments that run a business!

Even better, I have found my true calling in life, and now I can use the experiences I have had in my different fields to pour into my passion and help me to be successful!

Now I spend my time helping other businesses get the most out of their relationships. I like to call myself a relationship guru. I help business owners break the generation gap, and get the entire workforce leaning towards the same mission. Improved relationships means a better world, and better profits!
