I am two weeks into the new year and getting started on my goals for 2009. I am struggling to figure out the “how” of the “what.” Last year it seemed to easy and I was so focused. Finish Ironman Arizona. I did it. I set the “what” and the “how” came. It wasn’t easy getting to that goal but now that it’s over I am struggling with what’s next. And if I hadn’t finished the Ironman, would I still be struggling with setting my goals for 2009?

I am very lucky. I have a great life. I don’t want this to sound like a holiday card and I do have some struggles and concerns, but overall things are good. And I want it to be even better. So some of the things that I want:

* More time that feels like mine during the week. That 9 – 5 time that is usually governed by other people
* A business to call my own
* To be rich and famous (or famous and rich but I want both!)
* A clean house

So, what are my goals for this year?

* Start a thriving business
* Run a marathon and qualify for Boston (and the date is set, May 9 in Fargo, ND)
* A Sub-5:45 1/2 Ironman at Racine
* Have a better relationship with Megann
* And of course, lose 5 pounds

So some of these are easy like the marathon and 1/2 Ironman. The harder ones are the business and Megann. What does a thriving business look like? To me a thriving business is one where I am helping women to reach their goals. Where I get to make the decisions in alignment with what I value most. And a business that is self sustaining with a lot of money left over to travel and buy window treatments.

So I will keep thinking about what I really want for 2009 and promise to keep you posted. I would love to hear about your wants and your goals.

Be happy…
