Still lots to do, but I'm happy with what I've finished so far and also what I've started. 

How about you?

I'm finding that writing out the goals for the week, publishing them here, and giving status updates along the way are keeping me moving.

It's hard being a one-woman show.  I wear lots of hats.   Writer, editor, cover designer, publicist, marketing director...  But everyday I'm committed to showing up...taking small steps...bringing consistent effort...

And sharing it all here.

There's something about stating to the world...or to a room full of people...or some amazing people who may be reading my blog (my page views have risen every day so yes, now I know you're all out there) the goals you're committed to achieving...

Suddenly you're accountable. (defined by Websters as required to be responsible for something.)

And it's like magic.  Those ideas that have been swirling in my head - the ones with no concrete shape - are formalized and then acted on.  That crazy thing called results start to appear.

Before I know it, another chapter is written...another blog is complete...more marketing ideas take shape...

It's only been a short time in, but I have to tell you  making that commitment is powerful.  And the 365 Days Blog, is keeping me on track.  And taking me closer to my goal.

Hope you're getting closer to yours.

Here's a happy thought...Friday is just hours away...but not before Today's Takeaway Lesson...

Commit to a goal...set up a plan and then find a way, big or small to tell the world about it.  Be accountable to it all and then be ready to watch the magic happen....

Here's to Being All In,

Maggie 

BTW...I'm adding something else to the blog...a way to track the journey.  See the countdown calendar below.
