Welcome to the GOAL POST. A new Monday adventure I think you’re going to like. I’ll explain how you can get in on things at the end of the post.
MY goal is to insure that you achieve YOUR goal. I know accountability dramatically improves the likelihood that you will be motivated to shake your tail feathers. So let’s get you shaking them!
The following people are driven, motivated, powered-up, and juiced to own their week! They have put their names and reputations on the line by publicly announcing their goals. Come Friday I will PUBLICLY review their successes. Don’t let them embarrass themselves. Provide encouragement, and then get ready to put your own butt on the line.
Susan Newman:My goal is to get 3 email newsletters out this week, for Frogs Are Green, Susan Newman Design Inc and Broadcast Louder!
Mike Michalowicz, author of both The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur and The Pumpkin Plan shared his overall goal. If you don’t know Mike, this ain’t just lip service, I don’t think he has an outsized ego, I think he’s on fire. Even audacious goals happens one action at a time though.
Here is my big ass, balls to the wall, hairy, audacious, massively fat, goal: to be the most impact full business author of this century.
One caveat, at first blush it sounds like I have the BIGGEST EGO in the world (I hope not, but maybe I am blind to it). I just think I have a BIG ASS life purpose that I haveMy big sassy goal this week is to have a system in place to contact every professor in the us (that teaches entrepreneurship) with the goal of getting The Pumpkin Plan in their class rooms.
My goal is to get 4 lingering proposals finished and off to their respective recipients. GAH! Did I just commit to that outloud!
Help Mike reach his goal and ask him how many new subscribers he’s gotten this week.

Both are due in November.Get going on NaNoWriMo yet another year, but this time, with determination to FINISH!Jill Goldman my goal for this week is to contact three eLearning companies to offer my voice-over/narration services.
If you’re on my mailing list, you will get a note from me asking you if you’re ready to join this elite group of fat and sassy goal achievers. Do you have the guts to place your face, name, goal and URL up for all to see? Do you?
Thanks for the mention! Monday has so far brought 10 new subscribers to the list 🙂
You bet, Mike. I’m wondering what actions you’re taking to bring new subscribers to you?
I recently published an ebook which subscribers get for free. This has played a big role in increasing the conversion rate. And, of course, posting new articles is the biggest driver of traffic and subscribers.
rachel, thank you so much for the push this week!
i reached and surpassed my goal for the week. i did contact three eLearning companies to offer my services, and went beyond that and did some connecting on appropriate LinkedIn groups, as well as set up automatic notifications of voice-over jobs through elance. through these few new connections, i’ve been able to submit several auditions this week, and have made some new contacts who may need my services.
again, thank you! i’m looking forward to next week’s nagging. 🙂
Goal update: The launch plan has been scheduled! The tactics are not all in place, but the important dates are there and I’ve been working hard on the writing.
It’s called How to Write a Business Plan to Secure Financing and Launch Your Entrepreneurial Journey – and I have a primitive signup form here: http://eepurl.com/oZGcv
(y’know, for anyone who might want to get a smokin’ deal on it when it’s announced).
Way to go, Jessica! I know we’re going to “LUUUURRRRVVVV” it!
Keep us up on how it’s going and what’s working!
Well, it looks like another week has owned me instead of me owning it. 🙁 I’ve finished one of the four proposals and am frantically working to see if I can get the other three done by the end of the day. Jury is out…and it is not looking good.
Thanks for the motivational push though! I think the biggest thing i need to do is be realistic about my goals each week. There are just so many hours in a day after all. 🙂
Great news, Jill! Email me or use my contact form on Sunday night to get in to Monday’s Goal Post.
