every January I write my yearly business & personal goals, usually in a varitey of formats. I begin by journaling a page of ideas and thoughts. then create more detailed plans with lists, mindmaps, project plans which includes ideas and financial projections in excel spreadsheets. YES...I said Excel, it's the Silicon Valley training in me.
business goals are just as important as personal goals to me.
i LOVE to make lists...it helps me to write things on paper and highlight them as they are completed. these lists are a reminder of what I need to do and how I will accomplish my dreams. throughout the year I reevaluate and update them. my creative brain works overtime constantly thinking up the next mixed media project, marketing idea, product or event. so I have an idea list that I brainstorm constantly. I write down everything and anything that comes to mind, no matter how far fetched the concept might be. because one day I will accomplish it.
i leave you with this task...take a day to jot down your 2011 personal mantras, goals, ideas and creatively play with them on paper.

strive to be a visionary. a pioneer.
