I’m excited to launch this new blog! After nearly a week of planning, I’m ready to share my journey as a Deaf mother. I will also share my experiences navigating both the Deaf and hearing worlds.
Setting Goals with a Purpose
Right now, I’m focused on three main areas:
- This Blog: Building a space where I can share my story.
- Being a Mother to Ember: My beautiful daughter who inspires me every day.
- Running My Business: Balancing work and family life.
To help me stay on track, I’m using “The Success Principles” by Jack Canfield. This book is a great tool for setting and tracking goals, not just for work, but for life too. You can check it out here.
How I Set My Goals
Here’s how I approach goal setting:
Micro Goals: These are smaller, actionable steps that bring me closer to my bigger goals. I break them down into tasks and milestones to track my progress.
Bigger Picture Goals: These are long-term goals I plan to achieve in the next 2 to 5 years. Even though they won’t happen at once, keeping them in mind helps me stay focused.
My Vision Board
Once my goals are set, I create a vision board for the year. I do this every year on my birthday (November 24th, 2024 to be 50 years old). Vision boards help me visualize my goals and stay motivated. I’ll share more about how I create mine once it’s finished.
