Changing Goals

Last Friday of the Month
Sorry this is a little late in the day. We're having a  colossal yard sale today, and as you can imagine, that's got me pretty crazy. We just sold our house unexpectedly, so now we have seven weeks to sell/pack/get rid of everything we own. So what does this have to do with my five year goals? Everything. Five years ago if you would've asked me to move out of our home I would've told you no, and maybe there might have been a hell in there, too. But things change. We got our Jacob, and I became a gardener. In short, our house doesn't fit us anymore. And neither does my goal. My goal for this five year project was to have the Newstead Books be the next great American novels. I still want that, but my scope has gotten bigger. I've got a book coming out in five days that isn't a Newstead book. It's not just that, either. I realized that I want to be involved in the whole publishing aspect of this, too. So while I'm getting a new house, I guess I'll be getting a new goal, too: To have Black and White Publishing Company be the leading publishing house in America.
I figure while I'm at it, I might as well dream big.
What are your dreams?

  1. As time goes on and our lives change, our goals should too. I definitely believe in dreaming big. I want my unpublished series to be made into movies! lol

  2. Moving is always a chore!
    Aim really big. If you hit half of that, then that's still really awesome.

  3. Congrats on the move and the upcoming book. That's mighty ambitious to be the next big publisher. Best of luck on that! :)
