52 weeks ago

52 weeks ago I posted this on Instagram...

I had a dream and a vision to help 100 people transform their lives and in the process transform my own life as well. 

52 weeks later I haven't quite changed 100 lives, but I've transformed my own life exactly how I had envisioned.

52 weeks ago I was a full time ER nurse working night shift and just trying to survive. 

52 weeks ago I started to see a change in my business and my team

52 weeks ago my self-confidence was low

52 weeks ago we had $17,000 worth of more debt

52 weeks ago I was struggling with my fitness

52 weeks ago I believed in my dream

I took the whole "new year" opportunity to an extreme last year, I wanted a FRESH start and that's exactly what I gave myself. Put the past behind you and know that YOU design your future. 

In the past 52 weeks I've helped over 50 people transform their life with their health and fitness, I've gotten off of night shift and cut my hours back to part time, I've continued to build an amazing team of people committed to helping end the trend of obesity, my husband and I have paid off over $17,000 of debt and accumulated $0 of debt, I'm now in the BEST shape I've ever been and have had a FULL year of ZERO injuries....

I say this NOT to brag, but to show you that when you TRULY believe in your dream, create your vision, map it out and WORK hard for what you want, you WILL achieve it!

Make this year your fresh start. You have nothing to lose and your dream life to gain! Get after it! :) 

What's your #1 goal for 2015? Hold yourself to it and post it in the comments :) 

Happy 2015!

How to set monthly goals...

Things to have in your goal list:

* How many workouts/week you want to achieve?

*Which days will you make what meals?

*What groceries do you need for those meals?

* How many dates you and your significant other will have?
*How many hours per week will you spend with God?
*How much money will you spend and save each week?

What would you add to the list?

You can still reach your 2014 goals, here's how...

Just because it's September doesn't mean you have to wait until next year to reach those goals you set for yourself in January! NOW is the perfect time to sit down and write out exactly what you want to achieve in 2014 :) Here are a few tips to help you along the way....

1. Create a goal with a deadline That means put it in your phone, write it on the calendar, make it legit so that you've got some healthy pressure on yourself :) Make sure it's specific & measurable so you can easily know when you've reached it. 

2. Budget Yep, I put that in there. "Why?" You might ask? Because almost every aspect of your life has $$$ attached...believe it or not, you likely aren't going to reach your goal for free and money should NOT hold you back from reaching it, you just need to get creative and plan ahead. Whether it's eating healthier, keeping your house clean, going hiking daily, etc be sure to keep in mind what you'll be spending, you'll need proper groceries, cleaning supplies and hiking gear to get those things accomplished.  Dig deep into your goal, what's it WORTH to you to make sure you achieve it?

3. Accountability group/buddy The people who stick to this tip are more likely to reach their goal than the ones who don't. When other's know about your goal and can help push you towards it, you're more likely to achieve it! I see this time and again with my support groups, the ENGAGED supporters have AMAZING transformations and successes, while those who go at it alone are still afraid to let anyone else in to help. Be vulnerable, take this step and ask for some accountability. 

4. Sacrifice In order to reach your goal you're likely going to need to add something to your plate so that means taking something else OFF. You cannot do it all, it will make you crazy. Take the time to figure out what you are and are NOT willing to sacrifice to achieve this goal. 

5. Create your plan Your plan is your roadmap to success. Once you've figured out what you want, now you need to figure out how to get there. In order to achieve a goal you've never achieved you need to do things you've never done before. This plan will help you get there, but it may take some research and talking with people who have reached the goal you have. Take time with this part and then GO FOR IT!

***don't get stuck on this step! You've got to FAIL in order to succeed so go out there and give it your all!
