On this week’s GoalChat, I talked about being in project-mode with some of my favorite multi-hyphenates: Angela Miller Barton, Dayna Steele, and Cynthia Kortman Westphal. Angela is a personal trainer, yoga instructor, and program Coordinator for Wellcoaches; Dayna is a Rock Radio Hall of Famer, author, entrepreneur, playwright, and advocate; and is a music director, chair for the Department of Musical Theatre at University of Michigan, and co-founder of Broadway Vocal Coach.
Angela, Dayna, and Cynthia all share tips in my new book, 52 Secrets for Goal-Setting and Goal-Getting (Mango, January 28). During the conversation – which was on the backdrop of the LA fires, since that is where I live – the trio shared their strategies, backstories, and philosophies, related to their projects.
How Do you Define a Project?
- Angela: Something big that may be daunting
- Dayna: An endeavor that can be broken down into pieces
- Cynthia: Something that feels like it has an end
Philosophy
- Angela: Little by slowly
- Cynthia: Lots by sprinting
- Dayna: All of it at the same time
Project-Mode #GoalChatLive
Goals
- Dayna: Get organized, clean out a drawer
- Angela: Write down what is running around in your head
- Cynthia: Quit something that is not serving you (this includes personal things, like quit wearing high heals)
- Bonus from Dayna: Hurkle-Durkle: linger awake in bed
Final Thoughts
- Cynthia: “Find the thing you love to do so much that the words success and failure become irrelevant” – Elizabeth Gilbert
- Angela: Do what makes you feel free
- Dayna: Try everything!
