031 HOW STICKY NOTES HELP ME IN MY BUSINESS & OTHER OBSESSIONS

1/10/2019

I have some odd obsessions, I love journals and notepads with cream or off white paper, I have no idea why but, hey I keep the stationary man very happy. The other odd obsession is the use of Sticky Notes. After sharing a blog post from Birgit Livesey of The Business Support Factory on our Connect Her Collective Facebook group it started some comments. I realised I am not the only one that loves using the humble sticky note.

029 REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

18/9/2019

I put my hand up, yes I did not set up a realistic expectation when I started Connect Her. I was caught up in the moment, the excitement and blazoned on through with my
un-realistic expectations. It wasn't until the dust had settled, I calmed down.
I realised I hadn't really thought things through. I had set myself up to fail. Be sure to set yourself up for triumph instead of tears by setting realistic expectations.

I certainly wasn't being realistic in my expectations, I took a moment and then went through my S.M.A.R.T goal setting process and some reverse planning (see episode 017 Reverse Planning) to start setting realist expectations. The vision of #1000connections there are realistic expectations and timelines to work towards triumph.

S = Specific
M = Measurable
A = Attainable
R = Realistic
T = Timely or time lined
