“Just wanted to let you know that on New Year’s Eve I dragged out my work sheets from last year’s JOG and was amazed at the percentage of the 100 goals that had come to fruition in ‘07. And also how easy it was to carry forward some of them and add new objectives to create a game plan for ‘08. Your approach has an almost magical quality to it and I’m thrilled to have this great tool to carry into the future.” Nancy Nix-Rice, First Impressions
“I loved the Joy of Goals workshop in 2007. Two of my rather outrageous goals came true, I put down “Swim Club Membership” and “Timeshare in Sedona” At the time of the workshop, I was struggling financially, and these seemed pipe dreams or ‘maybe someday’ types of goals. Well, in February, I was gifted a membership in St. Louis’s premiere wellness center, which included a fabulous indoor pool. Then, in September, my girlfriend told me she had traded her California timeshare week for a week in Sedona, AZ, and would I join her during that week as her guest! These two gifts will be part of the successes from 2007 that I will be celebrating at the 2008 Joy of Goals event!” Rebecca Olson, The Chocolate Diva, www.chocolatediva2.com, 314 800-4050
“Last year January 2007 I attended the Joy of Goals Workshop. It was very phenomenal for me. I listed 90 goals on my worksheet and as I listed them I prayed for each intention and goal to come to being. One of my goals was a Spiritual one to pray 1 hour a day for each goal and intention. I remembered a lot of them and from time to time would go back and relooked at them. Another of my goals was to be a Star Achiever with Shaklee and receive recognition for it. That I did! I received recognition for being in the Millionaire Club for making a Million $ in Shaklee in my career. This week I saw Karen Hoffman to strategize for a Goal Seminar for my Shaklee Cinch Inch Loss Plan, and I pulled out my Joy of Goals Workshop. After she left I checked off the Goal sheet and realized I had reached 78 of 90 Goals I had listed. Listing the goals and keeping them as my intention helped me reach them and I am excited to share with you it is was an asset to my business and personal life to be part of your Joy of Goals Workshop. Thank you for all your hard work.” Theresa Meyer, A New You and Cinch and Get Clean
“I had just left my job as a television news producer. I stood up at the 2007 Joy of Goals and told the room I would have a new career this year, and I would become a mother. Today, October 22nd, I am the owner of Legacies to Remember. My business produces video legacies. People tell their life stories on video and we illustrate those stories with music, pictures and video. More importantly, I am expecting my first child in five weeks.
There are 3 main things I took from this seminar. Say your goals out loud because they are more likely to happen. Network with as many people as you can to help make your dreams and goals come true. And finally, never miss a ‘Joy of Goals”’seminar. It was inspiring, thought provoking and a great kick in the butt to get out there and conquer the world!!! Laura Susic, Legacies to Remember

My favorite sections of the Joy of Goals workshop were dream and design. My best take aways were taking the time to write down my goals, and clarifying my next steps.
