How to make Goals when you have no clue what you want!

I was thinking about my show and came to the conclusion that I consider myself to be an airtime concierge for all types of businesses connecting them to new potential customers. This show connects the customer with the proper product or services that best suits them and their needs for a solution to their problem through the business owners I have on the show. Let’s face it all businesses has a problem everyday. The sooner the problem gets resolved the less loss of revenue and performance outcome is achieved faster. I know how many types of businesses work.  I have a Master Degree in Education which allows me to instructionally design a game plan to resolve training and production issues. I also am successful at social media marketing and other forms of promoting a business. Now let’s GROW…

Goals

As the New Year was upon me I began to think about what goals I have for 2019. I was mind blocked. Ugh and it lasted for days. That is what lead me to this information. I know I am not alone here and the pressure of Jan 1st had me freaked out like I wasn’t prepared.  Then I thought wait! Who is setting this deadline?  I realized it was peer pressure of the world’s tradition.  I decided to take the pressure off and just peel back the layers of myself and dig deep for “What I want out of my Life” If you find yourself doing the same thing here are a few ideas to get the goal juices flowing with inspiration.

1. Write 5-10 things you enjoy
2. Also write 5-10 things you do not want or like

Eg: I don’t want to be overweight

I don’t want to live a life without meaning

I don’t want to commute to work anymore etc

You can actually turn these around and make goals out of them

3. Consider the 6 Key things in Life

Financial

Business/Job or Career

Physical Health

Personal Development

Community

Do you feel any of these areas are lacking or out of balance in your life?

Rate the results on a scale of 0-10. How can you create goals to better those areas? Where can you make changes? Create a dated measurable plan and don’t forget to reward yourself when you reach a date milestone.  It’s important for staying focused and motivated. Visualization is one of the most powerful ways to stay focused and driven.

I also want to say life throws curve balls and sometimes we have to put our goals and dreams on hold. It’s okay to change goals along the way. This is your LIFE!

I saw something on FB about writing a positive thing that happened that week and putting it in a jar. I liked that idea but I decided to create my own version. I am going to write down an achieve step towards my goal whether it be daily or by the week. Watching the paper add up in the jar would motivate me.

I found with this help of not being sure of my new goals for 2019 this information helped me define areas I want to change and grow. I wish you the best success in 2019! Leave me a comment let me know a goal you have for this year! I would love to hear from you!

Here’s a great video to help you with your goals and your mindset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WN1XK1KDHfs&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3kpXzhuwA3VtONTFoAlzajQl3hCJl4XmHunFEvVTSlxtIlUSHTvM76bOA

The last few years have been some of the hardest I have experienced. I found myself on a journey after the passing of my Dad on 11/26/16. That day will forever be in my memory. My Dad told me in his last days he wished he was more like me! I looked at my Dad like he was nuts. My Dad was stable and a hardworking man. He worked in the printing industry for over 40 years and gave me tools to use in life. One of those tools was understanding technology. Dad gave me my 1st lesson in Designing business cards using Printshop. I graduated to Photoshop CS2. Then I found myself upgrading every time there was a new version. 😆. Dad wanted my diversity from what I got from our conversation. It’s that comment that drives my motivation every day to execute perfection in everything I do.

As a kid I was always using my hands to create things. I love painting, photography, and drawing.

Along with my love to create my journey has taken me into Broadcasting on Talk Radio. 1180 am KCKQ America Matters Media. We broadcast every Wednesday @ 9:00 am PT. https://americamatters.us

I have been refining myself and really only doing what really matters to me. I volunteer my time on a local art project that the kids in our classrooms make for the holiday season. Willow bill was a guest on my show and we have partnered up to aid the project in its success year after year. See how you can help here http://willowbill.com/

Recently, I noticed a little shop that was offering just what I needed. Flirtylash is located in Reno, NV across from Atlantis Casino. Soon I will be tested an have a Lash Certification. Here is my latest work.

Because of all of these things I can do I know each day brings something new even when the sad days come when you miss your Dad and want to tell him what Anita is up to now!

I also have a Bachelors in Fine Arts and a Master In Education. I also tap into those areas as well.

It is my hope that I can encourage and inspire others to rise out of Life’s curveball’s.

Remember you have everything you need inside of you!

Enjoy the little things. Relationships. Make the time for the things important to you.

Here’s to Success!

I had the pleasure of having Peter Greenlaw join me this morning on my radio show. He has some great information on why diets don’t work check out his interview on ABC here. Also check out today’s radio show on my podcasts page!

Peter Greenlaw ABC Interview

“Business Owners that can smile when faced with trouble and distress gather strength by reflection because their hearts are firm in their passion to succeed”                                                                                                                                   ~Anita L. Foster~

When I was younger I had a Dentist who was rough and drilled way to much of my natural teeth.  As time passed and the aging process began my teeth became weaker and weaker.  Having allergies to milk didn’t help either of course, not getting the proper nutrition in my diet also played a role.

We all have a story.  A couple of years ago even the softest food cracked my teeth off.  I obtained a position in sales and needed a professional appearance.  I began to not smile because I was embarrassed.  I became less talkative and began not eating in front of people because my teeth were so weak I was afraid of my barbaric eating just to chew my food.  Finally, the time came where a decision needed to be made.  I went in to see what the dentist had to say and due to all the issues I had to have my upper teeth removed.

I had 13 teeth that needed to be extracted.  I was a wreck to say the least because I am terrified of the dentist.  I went to a place that the Dentist use to practice in the Navy.  One would think he would be an expert in this however, 1 ½ hours later only 3 teeth were removed.  The Dentist said I have to stop this is beyond my expertise. So, off to the Oral & Facial Surgeon I went.  Everything went well.  I did have some discomfort but my surgery healed well.

The follow-up visit I was supposed to do never happened because just a few short months after this I found out my Dad had Cancer everywhere.  My life was turned upside down.  I lost my job due to the lack of compassion on their part.  I worked night and day for 71 days to care for both my parents during this hard time.  On November 26, 2016 I watched as my Dad took his last breath.  Devastated I tried to pick up the pieces of my broken heart.  The rest of my family moved on without me. I kept trying to move forward and kept ending up in the same place.

Everyone I tried to talk to in the world had issues with my sadness. I couldn’t find my place in this world.  My overall health is good.  As months passed and my family split, they thought I was crazy.  No thought or care about my grieving process.  Struggling everyday to face people. The world was cruel.

One thing lead to another and just as I was finding myself again and flushing out all the ick out of my life then my boyfriend’s mom became ill and we found ourselves reeling in disbelief.  We only got 5 days with her and watched her take her last breaths. Many losses have happened in between everything. I was at the lowest point I had ever been in life. Trust me I have endured a lot.  People often tell me I am strong but, I felt so weak everything was an effort.  My body grieved and everything ached from head to toe.

I was introduced to Isagenix in August 2018.  WOW!  Just after a few short days I began doing things I hadn’t done in years. Even the dog was looking at me like What the Heck! As time has gone on and each day is getting better new problems have reared their ugly heads.

I found out today that the teeth I have left which are only 10 need to be removed and a lower denture is needed. I have no income and strive everyday to come to terms with all that is happening. Teeth can cause lots of infection when not treated right away.  I don’t know about you but fixing this mess about my teeth is taunting me.  I wanted it done in the first place.  I was actually eating mashed potatoes and a chunk of my tooth cracked off near the gum line. So, as I age I can see the problems my teeth have caused me.

This got me to thinking about aging and how to care for our teeth as time passes.  I found this information on the mouthhealthy.org website and thought I would share my story and how overcoming such things as we age could maybe help someone else.

As I look to the future I am excited to finally maybe have this problem resolved.  I know dentures bring on their own problems but nerve pain with bad teeth is worse I am afraid.  Next week its off to the surgeon to see what we can do about getting me on my way to even better health.  I think that by taking the Telemere Support product will aid in a fast recovery.

My Best advice is to take one millisecond at a time if you have to. Get through it and move on. Life is short and I want to enjoy each day I have left.  So don’t give up! It is my hope to be an inspiration to others and help in any way I can.

I hope you find value and take something away from my Blog. Leave a comment if you would like J

Here is some of the information I found on aging and our teeth. Enjoy!

Your mouth changes as you age. The nerves in your teeth can become smaller, making your teeth less sensitive to cavities or other problems. If you don’t get regular dental exams, this in turn can lead to these problems not being diagnosed until it is too late.

If you want to feel good, stay healthy, and look great throughout life, you might be surprised what a difference a healthy mouth makes.

Tips for Maintaining and Improving Your Oral Health

• Brush twice a day with a toothbrush with soft bristles. You may also benefit from using an electric toothbrush.
• Clean between your teeth once a day with floss or another flossing tool.
• If you wear full or partial dentures, remember to clean them on a daily basis. Take your dentures out of your mouth for at least four hours every day. It’s best to remove them at night.
• Drink tap water. Since most contains fluoride, it helps prevent tooth decay no matter how old you are.
• Quit smoking. Besides putting you at greater risk for lung and other cancers, smoking increases problems with gum disease, tooth decay and tooth loss.
• Visit your dentist. Visit your dentist regularly for a complete dental check-up.

By adopting healthy oral habits at home, making smart choices about diet and lifestyle, and seeking regular dental care, you can help your teeth last a lifetime—whether you have your natural teeth, implants or wear dentures.

I was researching local business mixers and that got to me interested in making all the business cards I collect work in my business.  I found some great information on the internet as how to handle of the connections you have made.  Follow-up in my opinion is just like customer service, it’s vital in making connections and in doing so you get to learn about other businesses that you can connect with.

Here are some ideas to build relationships

Collect cards send a nice note via email or a handwritten note to them. It’s not about you! It’s about them.  You can use the business cards to connect with others that you clicked with.

I found an app that allows me to take a picture of business cards and store them in my phone. Evernote is the name of the app if you would like to make things a little easier.  It can be overwhelming at a networking event and this is a great way to keep contacts easy to get to.

Don’t just walk up to someone and hand them a business card. In person spamming is a turn off.  Make sure to personalize your note with something you discussed in person and how you would like to connect with them.  Remember you are there to learn about others.  Follow-up with those you clicked with and get to know them.  When you can connect others to new customers it’s a reflection of who you are.  In the long run and as relationships build soon you will be getting referrals from their businesses. You can hand them one of your business cards when the time is right and you will know when is the right time.

You can also shoot a picture of you with your new connection and hash tag it for the event you were at.  This is a great way to keep your social media accounts organized and a great way not only for others to find you but, also it helps you to remember the connection and where you met. It also allows you to keep from getting overwhelmed with friend requests that maybe you do not want on your personal page.

What are some creative ways you can think of to keep organized business cards from a networking event?  I want to hear your comments!

I hope this information helped you as much as it did me.  I know we are all excited about our businesses and want to get as many cards out there as possible but, I think it is just as important to put the time into those connections in hopes they want to learn more about me.

God Bless Everyone have a great day!
