At the time of my making that goal I had no idea what would be involved in that.<BR/><BR/>I have not yet set any firm goals that are smaller than that- just things like "write more" and "edit more" and "learn better craft."<BR/><BR/>Pretty fluid. I should probably think about making some attainable, smaller goals... :)Avily Jeromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201659100248261370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8885384159016667608.post-41236236326137455912008-12-10T09:19:00.000-06:002008-12-10T09:19:00.000-06:00Goals.

Like, within the first 3 months of 2009 I want to buy a domain for a website. But that's it. I don't want to get it all done and set up and functioning yet.....so, I tend to start small, then work up to the bigger end goal. <BR/><BR/>I pray a lot about it and sit with my hubby to write them out. I like to throw a big whopper in there too, along with the little ones....But most are smaller, attainable goals. <BR/><BR/>Then, I tell my accountability group...so they can hold me accountable :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
