GOAL SETTING 101

This is Goal Setting 101 because all I really want to talk about is the fact that we need to set goals to make progress. I am terrible at goal setting. It makes me nervous. It scares me. SERIOUSLY! So to make it a little less intimidating I've decided to post some thoughts on what goal setting truly is as a bit of inspiration!

YES!!!!

I liked this - FIVE WAYS TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR GOALS

THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION CHRISTIE ZIMMER!

YOU CAN DO IT! 

Next week I will post about GOAL SETTING 201 - getting down to the nitty gritty of setting those amazingly ostentatious hairy scary goals!!!

Hopefully this post has you thinking about them!

For the record

The Fit Farmer reached his GOAL WEIGHT in the program! 

We are SO excited about this!

He got to go shopping for new clothes and was amazed he's down from a 38 to a 32

 and the perk is, he is looking AMAZING! 

Besides all that The Fit Farmer is FEELING AMAZING with tons of energy, sleeping well at night and waking up refreshed, making tons of progress on our farm - we are so thankful!

TASTY TUESDAY - SEASONINGS - adding SPICE to your life!

Today I just wanted to focus on seasonings because they are AMAZING when it comes to the P2 and P3. I love seasonings but when we started this program we found out that many seasonings were not on the protocol, as we dug deeper we found out it was because many of them add sugar to the seasoning mix. Those little sneaky devils! Trying to pull you into brand loyalty through your sweet tooth?!?! Anyway, my friend Karen taught me about making seasoning mixes from scratch and soon I was digging through recipes and adapting them to the program protocol!

Here are some of my favorite seasoning recipes! Mix them with ground beef, sprinkle on steaks or chicken, season soups with it, you name it - THEY'RE AWESOME!!!

TRYING TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS? NEED SOME MOTIVATIN'? Three simple steps to get started!

I really do need some motivation! I am literally overwhelmed with the tasks at hand. I feel like I am drowning in a sea of "TO DOs"!!!! When I think about building this business - I feel the same...a bit overwhelmed and don't know where to start. I have to keep reminding myself to take one step at a time - and that's great and all but my greatest deterrent to success is MOMENTUM...

WITHOUT MOMENTUM I STAGNATE. I PROCRASTINATE. I RUMINATE.

That is NOT what I want to do, but it happens. Like yesterday...when I thought I would just clean out a closet and it disrupted the ENTIRE day and led from one hall closet, to a bedroom, to the master bedroom, and the office and NOTHING was completed.

I should have just kept to the closet right?!

So here's my reminder for today...

I packed three tubs, COMPLETELY cleared out that closet and almost completed one bedroom.

ARE YOU TRYING TO BUILD YOUR OMNI BUSINESS?

Are you at a loss for where to start?  

Here are three steps you can take today to start building...

1) START WHERE YOU ARE. 

Take a moment to understand how the business plan works. 

Spend time reading in the back office and LEARN.

2) USE WHAT YOU HAVE.  

It doesn't cost us anything more than our time. 

If we invest our resource of time and get started now, 

we will make steps towards progress. 

3) DO WHAT YOU CAN. 

Here's where the rubber meets the road. 

I sometimes have to give myself a pep talk about sharing with others. 

It goes something like this:

"Do you have a voice?" 

"Yes"

"Use it!"

"Do you believe in this company and the results you've seen?" 

"Definitely!"

"Share it!"

"Do you have a goal?"

"Not yet."

"Set it!"

THEN - I start chatting with anybody who will listen and soon I have people asking great questions!

The best part is that the more I share, the less intimidating it becomes! YAY! SO... 

YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!

WE CAN DO IT!

Just REMEMBER...

PROCRASTINATION?!? Peshaw! 

(not sure how to spell that - just imagine a little hand wave when you say it. hehe)

WE BE MOTIVATIN'!!!

FIRST MAJOR STEP...SET YOUR GOALS!

More on that later this week!!!

MOTIVATION WEEKEND...

It was a crazy week last week with the Fit Farmer and I heading different directions. They were both awesome events and we had a great time at them but my Farmer - who is not a huge fan of writing -came back from his training with nearly 20 pages of notes! THAT IS A SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND!

His notes are full of EXCITEMENT...MOTIVATION...TOOLS...GOALS...

We never knew when we stumbled upon this nutrition/weight loss program we were stepping into a new way of life. It's phenomenal! One thing the Fit Farmer learned this past weekend was this:

See the picture below? That's the Fit Farmer's Farm. You can see for miles and miles - much like opportunities we've discovered through this program. 

But do you see what's missing??

OUR HOUSE!!!

We have been going through the process of developing house plans...

So many decisions go into every aspect of building a brand new home. 

We had to research and just when we thought we had the perfect plan it fell apart. 

We had to start over SEVERAL times! We might have thought about giving up

BUT we didn't! And today we will be signing off on our final house plans!

YAY!!!!!!!!!

The cool thing was including an office for us to work out of and to stock our product.

A functional space that will allow us to support our team and customers.

AN OFFICE BUILT FOR TWO! 

Oh I can't wait, here's what it's going to look like...

In the Fit Farmer's office we will be working diligently 

to invest in our community showing them that  

healthy, quality lives are possible! 

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LOSING WEIGHT! 

There's so much more here! 

Did I mention our little farm is IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE? 

Indeed it is.

But with undertaking this project and building our business and 

watching the AMAZING TRANSFORMATION of my Fit Farmer

we have discovered SO MUCH MORE!

There is so much beauty in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE...

as well as INNOVATION (and creativity!)

When my friend Katie and I found ourselves in the middle of nowhere

on our way home from our weekend in South Dakota - 

We didn't get disgruntled,

We switched directions...

We did get anxious,

We got back on track...

We didn't give up,

We forged ahead with even greater determination...

(and may or may not have stress eaten a few bites of Cabela's fudge.)

THE LESSON LEARNED IS THIS:

You may not be sure of which direction you want to go - 

but when you decide to jump on board as more than just a customer

when you determine you are going to reach out and share this

amazing wellness program with everybody...

SWITCH DIRECTIONS (Tell your upline)

GET ON TRACK (Set Goals) and

FORGE AHEAD WITH GREAT DETERMINATION!

BEST QUOTE EVER:

We are in this for ourselves 

but not by ourselves!

DARE to BELIEVE

DARE to DREAM

DARE to SUCCEED!
