In 2008 I did a post titled, "
Still The Same Source of My Success." At my workshops I stress the importance of setting goals and actually achieving them. Without the stretch goals and business plan that I put together 8 years ago, my goal of leaving Corporate America to become a full-time photographer would have never been actualized.
So to keep me honest, I continue to keep up with some of my goals (quarterly) publicly as they happen. Thanks for keeping honest last year!

Some of you may be thinking that this entry is written to brag. Not really. It's actually written to brag about where my blessings come from. Up ABOVE! I'm nothing without the vision and mission given to me every day and at every photo shoot by my spiritual guidance. I do not take lightly being able to wake up every day of my life with the realization that I am living my dream. I have found my purpose in life. I am doing exactly what I was created to do. It is not Photography. It is to give praise through my gifts and talents.
Feel free to share some of your goals and we will keep each other honest
