So, April has come and gone and looking back at my goals that I laid out April 1...it seems that I didn't get much accomplished this month...at least what I set out originally wanting to do! Imagine that...It's crazy how you set out these short term goals thinking that you can accomplish them in a months time...sometime I get them finished in a day...sometimes a week...other times...not until 3 months later...I just keep crossing the ones off that I do accomplish and keep chipping away at the others until they are complete.
My website is coming a long slowly...in my brain anyways...I have a few things written down here and there but I keep finding excuses to not even open my showit worksite because - I don't have a brand, I don't have a clear vision, I don't have a CLUE what the heck I am doing!, I am not Tech savvy, I am not, I am not, I am not, I don't have, I don't have, I don't have!! It's like a broken record...and writing this now is making me realize that I just have to sit down and FIGURE IT OUT! Shying away from it will never allow me to grow, never allow me to learn, never allow me to accomplish my goal of LAUNCHING MY SITE and getting Brandy Dawson Photography out there.
Among the other things on my list of April goals were weight loss, reading, etc. My weight stayed the same but I am in competition with a friend to see who can lose 5 lbs first this month...Winner gets taken out to dinner! :) As far as reading goes...Does Facebook count?! Probably not right...I mean, there are some great groups that I am apart of like Showiteers and Pursuit 31 with great questions and tons of information but I didn't really crack open a book! I read a few very informative blogs about pricing and a few emails about branding but since I am trying to focus on both weight loss and photography I thought I may be kind of cool to create a project including both! I am reading THE 4 DAY DIET and I plan on blogging my progress for the next month...I will keep you guys posted with my progress, weekly weigh ins and possibly before and after photo's at the end of the month! I am hoping that by putting this out there that I hold my self accountable and stick to the plans and see where it takes me!! :)
April's goals...
1. launch my brand new SHOWIT website and blog
2. lose another 3 lbs & be more aware of my eating habits and food choices
6. create the video from Africa for Circle of Hope International
8. i am not a big reader but i would like to read at least 1 book this month dealing with business like "the purple cow" or the "22 immutable laws of marketing" etc
Anyways...I guess this brings me to MAY GOALS!
MAY 2011 GOALS
1. finish reading The 4 Day Diet...stick to the plan...WIN the 5 lbs weight loss challenge!
2. learn how to use my perfect lighting equipment!! "TTL flash system" - do at least 1 shoot a week with flash...just getting out their and trying new things...I am a hands on learner so I have to make my self get outside and get after it!
3. get at least 1 tab of my website finished - working on the about me page and pricing
4. Formerly #8. on my April goals - i am not a big reader but i would like to read at least 1 book this month dealing with business like "the purple cow" or the "22 immutable laws of marketing" etc.
5. 4. blog at least 2 times a week - KEEP BLOGGING AT LEAST 2 TIMES/WEEK 1 of those concerning my weight loss journey! :)
So, I guess looking at May...my overall goals for the month includes LEARNING and GROWTH! I like to learn things that I find very interesting but I am much better at it if someone is showing me...we will see how this "READ and APPLY" thing works out! LOL! I have never been very good at that...ask my parents! I am excited to see what this month has in store...and I hope to be able to tell you all that I had an amazing May and I accomplished all my goals for the month! :) I hope you guys will follow me on this journey and look forward to your encouraging words, your questions, your insights, your prayers! Talk so you soon!
