Celebrating the Highlights of 2012

While most of you prepare for the hectic holidays, I prepare myself for 2013.
I love goal setting, I love the endless possibilities it brings.
Each Year I set five Goals, one of which will be my core focus for the year.

In 2011 my core focus was to get published, I got a publishing deal in the summer of 2011

In 2012 my core focus was success ……. Below is the year that followed

Contacted by Newstalk All about Business to do interview (will let you know when scheduled)

I’m sure there is lots I’ve forgotten about and lots I haven’t included like meeting Irish Blogger Benny Lewis of Fluent in 3 months while we both waited to be interviewed by Fionn Davenport on Newstalk. But this years has been filled with what success means to me. I have new clients and friends from all over the world, I have proof that you can be a Irish woman who starts out knowing nothing about blogging and make a career from it.

I have worked with and met wonderful people. I have partnered with Lottie Hearn from Pressplay presentations to deliver our course Get Set for Success. Without her it would still be an inanimate object saved on my hard drive somewhere. Lottie has helped me to achieve a dream, she has become my business partner and a really good friend. All that came from a phone call that I was unsure if I was going to make!

Goal Setting

The summary of this is that Goal Setting Works, whether your goals are big or small, by focusing on them positively and taking the steps in the right direction you can and will achieve your goals.

To some what I achieved will seem enormous to others minor events. This is because we are all different and our lives are meant for different things. If you set goals that are right for you, not ones that you think you should have, you will achieve the right type of success more quickly.
Below are some more of my highlights from 2012 (I sure did have fun putting this together)

Thanks Nicole it has been wonderful and only after putting together this post did I realise it may just have been my best yet!

Wowie Ciara! What a year you had and well deserved. You certainly walk the walk about setting priorities and goals. Note to self: Set specific goals and roadmap how to achieve them. Congratulations and I loved the photos.
