On this week’s GoalChat, we talked about Business Goals with Marcia Macomber, Cornucopia Creations and Melanie Richards, BVisible with Mel. As you fly into fall, look at it as an opportunity to get moving on those business goals, so you have lots to celebrate at the end of the year.
Marcia and Melanie shared their origin – and rebranding – stories, as well as thoughts on brainstorming, trust, and the value of integrating personal with professional goals.
Small Ways to Change Your Outlook
- Marcia: Take the dog out for a walk
- Melanie: Change the lens from which I view something (feedback vs feed forward), change your seat in the room
- Deb: Take a 2-minute dance break
End of Year Goals
- Marcia: Wrap up projects, meet financial and growth goals, and celebrate in December
- Melanie: Recognize and let out my writing voice, share advance trust certification project

Goals
- Marcia: Don’t edit while you are brainstorming your goals, just writer them out

Final Thoughts
- Melanie: May the force always be with you
- Marcia: These are the goals you are looking for
