Staying focused…one of the hardest things to do. Whether it’s in my personal life or work. There always seems to be “stuff” that gets in the way.
I have lots of Goals for 2010, and what better way to hold myself accountable, than to share them with you.

Great goals! I’m stealing a few! Just wanted to encourage you to make reading Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover a big priority. We’ve been doing his plan for 6 months and it has totally changed our life, our marriage, and our family! Not easy, but worth it!! Great list!
@Kari,Thanks for the encouragement! I’ve been wanting to read his book. Happy New Year!
