It should be no surprise that I am a goal oriented person. I have written several blog posts about it, I have posted many posts on my Facebook page about setting and achieving goals... I think the reality of the whole situation is that I have finally (over the course of MANY years) have figured out the secret of "how Michelle achieves goals". The secret - write them down. It doesn't seem that complicated, that hard... but honestly, I wish I would have started this earlier in my life. When I take the time to write down my goals and save them, I am accountable to them. I refer back to them, reread them, look at that... THEY STARE AT ME ACROSS MY OFFICE... My point. 

One of my favorite things to do now is to write down my goals. I have tapped into what makes me successful and I am excited to do anything that leads me closer to my goal.  One of my favorite notebooks to jot down my goals and dreams is this adorable journal from on my favorite Chicago shops, The Trendy Sparrow.
