90-Day Transformation with Allison LaMarr (Part 2)

Ok so I did questions 1-7 from the transformation questionnaire in the last post. This post is questions 8-13.

TRANSFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE
8) Do I have a personal or family dream/goal that I can use my professional & financial success to fund?
•Doesn't everybody? I hate to sound materialistic BUT I have to say a new big house and some new vehicles are some big goals. Another one is my children attending private school. Traveling. I guess I have traditional American dreams.
9) Am I willing to play like a champion to rise above mediocrity and achieve success?
•yes
10) What do I specifically want to gain from the 90-Day Transformation?
•I... Don't... Know... Maybe some better social skills for direct sales and marketing.
11) What potential obstacles are standing in my way?
•MYSELF!!!!!
12) What solutions have I identified to help me overcome those obstacles?
•Affirmstions
13) Am I COMMITTED to push through and finish the 90-day Transformation.... NO MATTER WHAT??
•I sure am!

Yay! That is the end of that homework! So next on the list is my "Long Term Life Vision Chart". That is the one with all the goals! Lol

90-Day-Transformation with Allison LaMarr (Part 1)

I know I sound a little obsessed with Allison LaMarr but she is one of my role models. She went from nothing to rich. I am trying to do her 90-day transformation thing. Although I am behind since they started week 3 on Monday and I haven't completed week one. LOL. Week One is "Goal Setting". So I am gonna do my work for Week One right now.

TRANSFORMATION QUESTIONNAIRE
1) What am I most excited about/looking forward to in this experience?
•The skills that I will learn
2) What is the professional accomplishment that I am most proud of today?
•With the help of friends and family, I sold over $600 worth of product at one party.
3) How do I personally define success?
•Not neccessarily rich but financially free. No more worrying about whether I have
enough money for bills. Success means many things to me. At the top of the list would
have to be my children becoming productive mature and mentally capable adults.
Another thing that I consider success is following through on any and every
responsibility given to me.
4) Are there any skills I want/need to improve upon to create my definition of professional success?
•YES! My lack of self-discipline and accountability and confidence and courage.
I want to be able to go through life and do what I need to do without worrying about
what other people think of my actions.
5) Is there anything holding me back or slowing me down currently?
•YES! I need money to make money! Ain't it tha truth?!?! Plus I do have a
breastfeeding newborn and she does not like bottles. To top it all off I do not have
a set schedule for anything right now which makes things difficult. I'm kinda just
bouncing around from appointment to appointment.
6) Do I have a professional goal, big or small?
•Why certainly I do!! Me and two friends of mine, Yan & Duh, made a plan to start our
own clothing line back in 1998. To get there I need to first learn how to use a
sowing machine and to do that i would need a sowing machine HaHa! I have a couple of
other goals as well like having my own shop and if photography is really something
that I progress in then I would love to have my own photography studio! Aren't goals
Just dreams that have been written down on a piece of paper? So I have lots of goals!
7) What is the absolute next step to my next goal?
•I would have to go with saving up some money to buy a sowing machine and a Photoshop
program for my computer. To do that I either need to get a J O B or seriously start
selling some stuff. Whether it's "Mary Kay" products or the things that I make.

Whoa ok that was questions 1-7 out of 13. I think I will finish questions 8-13 in my next post. So... To Be Continued...

And also here is the link to check out my role model, Allison LaMarr. Definitely check out her "Digging Deeper" articles!

Today is Supposed to be "About Me"

So here is the truth. I'm freaking out! Lol. That's me though. I think I set my goals to high. I know it's good to set goals too high because "if your goal is the moon and you come up short, you still end up with the stars". Haha! Great stuff! I'm a "Personal Development Junkie". For those of you (if anybody ever reads this lol) for those of you who don't know what that is, it is somebody who feeds on any type of personal development information but never puts it to good use. I can spit out all kinds of quotes. Oh and I absolutely LoVe Allison LaMarr!!! She is a success coach. But what good is all this wonderful information if I don't ReAlLy use it? And I mean really really use it!

I do have a lot going on in my life. I just hope and pray that I can actually get somewhere special. You know right? I feel like other than my 3 beautiful children, I haven't really accomplished anything in my life. Well... Let me tell you about my children. My son, Elijah, is 6 years young. My oldest daughter, Naomi, will be 4 years young next month. Our newest addition to the family is my daughter, Grace, who is 3 months old. Needless to say, I have my hands full right now.

Ok so back to me freaking out... I have been trying to figure out what I wanna do when I grow up. LOL. I have always wanted to dabble in a lot of things. You know like a Jane-of-all-Trades sort of thing? I need to really do some more thinking about things. I need to get my goals down. I need to do a process of elimination so as I can narrow my list down a bit. So I will be doing a goals list and process of elimination list and posting that on here.

I know this may sound silly but I'm also freaking out a bit because I made a few FB pages. Some things that I want to try on and see if they suit me. I haven't done much with them. I just opened them. I have a lot of work to do to really get them up to par but I will go ahead and give the names real quick:
1) Talitha's Photography
2) Talitha's Boutique
3) Talitha's Wardrobe

But really, as of today right now there is nothing on these pages. I'm still not sure when I want to schedule my blog for so I guess I will just post the next one whenever I feel like it for now. Haha. I do have a lot of work to do for the next blog. I want to put up my goals. Short term and long term in all "8 Lanes" of my life. (that's from Allison LaMarr) (she is awesome!). Lol anyways...

Why I decided to "BLOG"

I know that I am blogging for the second time today and I'm not planning on doing that anymore but I never know. Anyways... I wanted to start this for many reasons. Like I stated in the previous post, I want to hold myself accountable and keep track of my journey BUT I also want to tell stories and I want to be able to be honest. Completely honest! It seems as though I cannot do this on FB because of crazy people looking for drama and I can't really just wrrriiittte! I love to write! I have lots & lots of things that I want to write about! I have a notebook that I have been jotting down ideas in. I'm soooo excited about this! I'm not sure if I want this to be a daily or weekly thing yet. For now I will be in the testing process so I can figure out a schedule. I have decided that tomorrow I will write about me. Hahaha! See you tomorrow!

Day 1

I'm excited but scared at the same time... I hope that I can manage to reach my goals! I wanted to write in a diary again. I used to write in one multiple times a day when I was in high school. It's not as easy now as it was then, being as I now have 3 beautiful children! Anyways... My purpose for this "Online Diary" is to not only journal my life but to hold myself accountable. Accountable to what? Well. I have dreams! Don't we all? And I'm so tired of sitting around day dreaming! So to be honest I am hoping and praying that this is the beginning of a glorious journey of reaching goals and living dreams! I want to soar like an eagle!!!
