So after Sally’s comment I went and read her post and it was like a light bulb went off. There right in front of me was the reason for my funk. I had met all my goals!! This explains the reason I have been so bored. I am truly the type of person that sets out to “prove” something and that I had!! I had started a Virtual Assistant business, written a book (actually 2) and been recognized by my peers. When I thought about it I realized I had been thinking now what.

So this is the reason I haven’t been able to finish writing a book … I already did that!!

This is the reason I haven’t been able to find excitement in my VA business … it is already a successful business!!

So today when I re-write my goals I am going to think about things I haven’t accomplished yet, things that will make me excited again and then I am going to go after them with gusto. The biggest thing I am going to do though … I am going to remember that goal setting is a continuous thing … we need to read them, review them and revise them as we grow and achieve the goals we set for ourselves!!

First I blamed it on the stress of trying to sell my house, then I blamed it on the children being home for the summer and finally I blamed it on being too busy, but finally I realized that no matter the reason it was time to pull up my socks and “smarten up”.

Yesterday at my BNI meeting our President said something that really made me stop and think. “You have to feel your way into a new way of acting not act your way into a new way of feeling”. In other words instead of acting as if everything is great, it is time to change the way you feel about things and other things will fall into place … so that’s just what I did.

I took some time to think about why I was feeling the way I was and decided it was time to stop “feeling sorry for myself” and start remembering that I am a successful business woman for a reason. I can put on whatever show I want to, but unless I start feeling better about myself and about what I am doing people will eventually see through the “veil” I have created.

So once I came to this realization I realized it was time to “brush off my goals”, re-write my schedule, and start working on all those ideas in my head instead of just leaving them there. So watch out world because I have a new attitude!!
