Goals.
In our Brainstorm Sessions Mastermind Group we are discussing goals. We all need them but many of us don’t write them down. Until we do, most of what we want (sell more CDs, get better gigs, etc.) will not take shape. Or maybe it will but not as quickly as we’d like.
So here is my challenge to you...
Take a few minutes and write down your goals that you would like to achieve in the next 6 months. Then click on "comments" down below and share your goals with us. It's a great exercise to get you thinking. And it's interesting to read what others have to say. You'll soon realize that many of your peers are in the same boat with the same ideas and plans.
So c'mon, don't be shy. Share your goals. Then take action and make it happen.
Rock on,
Madalyn Sklar

Hey Magen,
That is bold and awesome!! And you know what, when you say you are confident you will get it all done, you will. It's a mindset game and most people fail because they say things like, "I think I can do it" (thinking and doing are two separate things!) or "I don't have time." Whatever! Good luck on your achieving your goals. I know you will succeed.
You go girl,
Madalyn
