When you wish upon a goal....

When it comes to your life, do you make wishes or do you make goals? Because there's a difference!


They both start with the same thing: a vision! But making a goal involves taking actionable steps towards making your vision a reality. A wish is just Hopefulness without feet to take it anywhere!

One of the ways you can help your wish become a goal become a REALITY is just taking the time to write it down. Check out some of these cute ways to record your goals:


1, 2, 3

When I started my little shop over a year ago, I had one goal: Make enough profit to go to Starbucks once a week and not feel guilty about it :). I'm excited to say, I've hit 150 sales!


And thanks to my handy spreadsheet, I actually know how much I've made :)

For about a year before I actually opened up shop, I sat around wishing I owned an etsy shop. Wishing, and wondering if I could really do it. Does this sound like you? Write down what you want to happen, and then start taking baby steps!

What about you? Have you made (or reached!) any goals lately?

  2. I keep goals small, because I get sidetracked so easily.
