Make a New Year’s Intention & WIN a ticket to The Simple Plan Dallas

Jennifer Jasiczek - My intention is to open up two new offices to serve West Texas. I’ve got one opening next week and another hopefully in March 2010. We are fortunate to have business all over the state, now we want to provide excellent customer service for all brides, just not the high end brides.

Rachel - My personal/professional New Year’s intention is to be the BEST work-from-home mother possible to my 2-month-old son, while getting 24 events/weddings in 2010. I do a lot of my work with my son in my lap, making all kinds of goofy noises while I type and shaking rattles around to keep him entertained. Here’s to hoping his attention span grows a bit longer, ha ha!

Melinda Massie - Where to begin??? I have a LOT of intentions for this upcoming year. What can I say…I’ve always set very lofty goals for myself.

The biggest ones that come to mind are:
** professionally, I intend on growing my current event business and I’m also going to start a professional organizing business this year. I became an event planner due to my crazy-organizational skills and recently I’ve had quite a few people hire me for professional organizing. It just seems like the next logical extension of my career.
** personally, I intend to continue improvement on my running and yoga practice. I did my first 5K last year and this year want to actually run the entire thing. I also want to move into a new home this year so I can create a seperate office for my growing businesses.

Kristy R. - Oooh I love this, new year’s intentions. Okay so here goes:

1. To reinstate Motivational Monday and Typography Tuesday readings in my studio.
2. Weekly huddles with my team Lara Casey style to share, motivate and inspire new ideas.
3. To make sure I live life, retain a balance and try to be in the moment more.

Thanks for inspiring me to share my intentions!

Christina - My intention on a personal level is to really take my care seriously and work out at least 5 days a week for improved health. On the business side I want to double the number of weddings we shot in 2009 and laucnh our boudoir studio. Thanks for helping me put it out there.

Cherkita Williams - My intention in 2010 is to grow my business. I am just starting and I want to learn as much as possible, coordinate weddings/events and grow my name in my community. I already have 1 wedding on schedule and that will keep me motivated to launch my business into the atmosphere.

Catie Ronquillo - My business intention for 2010 is to do work on my business in order to book 12 weddings. As a newbie in Dallas, 12 bookings would be fab! My personal intention for 2010 is to eat healthier – cutting out fast food and eating vegetables at least during dinner. My hubby gives me a hard time about the veggies part!

Cherie Irwin - I have a few intentions for my business in 2010. 1. I will define my work schedule and stick to it. 2. I will check my daily to-do list on a daily basis, add necessary items to it, and accomplish the items on my list. 3. I will spend at least one hour every day working on my business, not just working for my clients. 4. I plan to make at least one connection every workday with someone in my industry. 5. I will stop working in my pajamas and take the time to officially start my workday.

calisara - My new year intention is to build routine. I need to be more disciplined as it’s far to easy to talk myself out of doing something, say like going to the gym (but this is just an easy one for example purposes). It’s too easy to say, well, if I eat better today then the gym can wait. I find working from home makes it easier to get away with tons of negotiations that I’ve created and then re-negotiated and it’s hard to be held accountable. I plan to create routine in my tasks. Focus on being disciplined. I believe this will help me achieve my goals whether personally or professionally. Thanks for sharing this post, so much to learn from the other comments!
