What's Your Summer Fun Goal? A Book, Novel, or Screenplay Passion Project

Summertime! And the living is ... easier than it's been in a while. Still, there are plenty of challenges in the latest normal.

Want to know one of the best things you can do for yourself right now? Choose a summer goal and work toward getting a win!

• What's that project you love but can never quite get to?
• Where is the book draft that has only one - very well-edited - ch
  apter?
• What is one publication you've always wanted to write for but never even pitch?

Btw, summer goals are not limited to writing passion projects. You can also:

• Plant a garden
• Cook a feast ... or several 
• Start a new workout routine
• Find a new job
• Launch a side hustle

Ready for a win this summer? I'll make it simple. After all, I am all about goal-setting simplified.

Take my Summer Goal Challenge!

Here's what you need to do:

1. Go in your calendar and look at your availability

2. Make an appointment with yourself at least once a week to work toward your goals

3. Choose a goal that you can easily achieve

4. Steadily work toward it each week

5. Report on your progress - here or via my Thursday LinkedIn check-in posts

Bam! Before you know it, you will have a win!

Because sometimes all it takes to get a win is to claim a win. Then work towards it a little at a time.

Remember, you can do it!
