Goals - 2011


“If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time."  -Zig Ziglar

Physical  {the hardest and the one that involves the most time & energy}
Eliminate the pain in my shoulders, upper back and neck.
  •  Commit to one massage a week or 4 hours a month
  •  Continue seeing Mindy for Adjustments and Taping 
  • Personal Training once a week- minimum of 1 hour per week
  • Research and try one new thing per week
  • Buy a new bed and mattress before end of year
  • Drink 3 bottles of water/day

Financial {must continue to be diligent in my savings and think about my future retirement lifestyle}
 A total of $65,000 in my cash maximizer account, be pre-qualified for a new home loan, and complete my financial goals worksheet and actions.
  • Need to put away $2,500 a month in savings!
  • Start reaching out to lendors in the beginning of November to get pre-qualed
  •  Meet with COX HR, Matt Greene, Dad, & Jaclym Weitzberg to ensure I am on right path
Mental {my Spanish still needs a lot of work STILL and due to my financial goal I am eliminating the classes and doing 100% self study, so I will need to be even more self-disciplined.  I also want to look at a few other ideas like joining a Spanish Meetup/ Doing Community Service work in Mexico, ect- that will force me to practice my Spanish and reach outside my comfort zone}
Become conversational in the Spanish language.
  • Do 1 chapter in my workbook a week 
  • Buy Audio CDs and spend 50% of my driving time listening. 
  • Write one FB message/wall post/email in Spanish a week 
  • Force myself to practice it every chance I get even if I feel stupid
Family {I am committed to come home twice as much as last year, and will refuse to have these 15 days be part of any funerals/ grievance leave.  I am also working on strengthening my relationships with my extended family and my cousins}
Go back home twice this year- for a total of at least 15 days.  Plan 2 family outings that promote harmonious relationships and quality togetherness time.

Career  {I am a little disappointed that I made 2 grand more in 2008 then in 2009 since one of my goals is to incrementally increase my earnings year after year.  I really want to focus on building up my referral business to the point it would never make sense to leave the position I am in due to the constant influx of high quality leads and sales coming in}
Calculate the percentage of where my sales are coming from, and figure out the dollar amount (and the % to goal) that is referral business.  Devise a plan to increase my referral business by double in 2012.

Personal {Last year I was able to go to Dallas, Hawaii, and a lot of areas within LA: I want to add one more vacation this year and increase the duration of these vacations; I really need to start actually using all my vacation days at work as well. Staying with friends has enabled me to afford more trips while also solidifying and strengthening my friendships.}
Go on 4 vacations this year (1 more than last year) – with one international trip (going home doesn’t count).   Possible destinations include Daytona Beach, Seattle, Grand Canyon, Mexico, & Yosemite National Park.
