Ah, those pesky goals!  I’m participating in Ariel Hyatt’s 9 week blog contest based on her book and the first week is the goal setting week.  How propitious that this is happening at the end of the year, right when lots of folks do their New Year’s Resolutions.

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with goals my whole life, I’ve been a free flowing California slacker and an intense, driven entrepreneur and everything in between.  I’ve had goals and I’ve had lots of time when I had no direction or sense of direction at all.

The funny part about all of this is that everytime I’ve actually written down goals, I’ve achieved nearly all of them, even if I didn’t look at them for the entire year!!  I realize that there’s a magic in goals that is fairly well documented and known, even in circles that would poo poo The Law of Attraction and it’s Woo Woo brethren.

I’m not going to share all of my goals for 2010 here because I feel that sharing them with the wide world dilutes their effectiveness, although I do feel that sharing them with a small, supportive group helps give them power.  I don’t know everyone that will possibly read this blog so I want to be more general here and more specific with my close peeps.

Here’s a synopsis of my goals:

Lose some weight, write and place a few dozen pieces of music, organize my studio better ergonomically, make more money, set up a better time management program, make relationships with at least one “player” in the music business, do more collaborations.

There.  Not too specific but hopefully you get the idea.  I’ve also made dates by when I want to accomplish most of the goals and I’m still refining the ones that I can’t seem to figure out how to put an end date on.  Those will probably end up being tasks instead of goals because some are ongoing maintenance type things.

Have a fantastic 2010 and see you next week for the next chapter.
