Recently we talked about goal setting for success.  Like you, I’ve had many goals.  Some were reached, some were not.  As I learned more while working towards each goal, I pivoted from some, replaced some, and moved forward with others.  It is evident that goals are not static.  Life changes, things change, and we change.

Hello everyone!

I’m excited to speak with you today about one of the most basic yet powerful tools for any small business—goal-setting.

Now, let’s dive into why goal-setting is essential for small business success.

Why do we like spectating and commentating on sporting events?

While all sports are great, I especially like football.

Football teams represent regions, cities, and sometimes even national pride, making it easy for us as fans to feel a strong personal connection to our teams.  Supporting a team gives us a sense of identity, belonging, and unity with other fans.  This shared identity can be very powerful.  It’s amazing how so many people across the nation have embraced the University of Colorado Buffaloes.

Today we are going to discuss why so-called good news don’t do as well as fear mongering, gossip, and negativity.

If you checked my You Tube subscriptions you will primarily find a mix of politics, sports, and celebrity gossip.  Also, to a much lesser degree, you will also find a few motivational speakers.  Who and what are you following in social media?
