October Goals

Happy October! In the name of margin, I’m changing up my goal posts a bit and keeping them short and sweet. It sounds silly but I feel like they’ve gotten longer and more drawn out. I now use 100 words to describe a 3-word goal. It’s too much! ; ) I feel like sticking to just the goals (for most!) will keep me taking action and not just talking about them. So here goes:

NEED HELP PRACTICALLY WORKING THROUGH YOUR MONTHLY GOALS LIST?

I shared a Facebook Live video called “How I schedule monthly goals” if you need help making your monthly goals actionable! Click here to watch!

Also, If you are looking for a way to set goals and take action on them daily, weekly and monthly, check out the Powersheets! Besides prayer, this is the single biggest factor for how I’ve been able to focus my goals and make things happen over the last 3 years!

BOAZ FUND

We decided to change things up this year for our giving. We are now partnering with RMI on a longterm basis to provide hot meals for two schools in Haiti for the entire school year. For most of these kids, this is their only hot meal and for some only meal of the day! 10% of every purchase made will go directly to this project so every journal you buy provides SIX meals for students and every year provides EIGHTEEN! Amazing!!!
