Dream Meme - Only Big Dreamers Dare Apply
I am answering a meme posted on Empower Women Now. I have been recently laid off and suddenly setting goals takes on huge meaning. I have always been a goal setter, but when its crunch time and I need to stay focused or else THEN there has to a list of goals AND some accountability!Â
My BIG Dreams are only what I have in store for the next 6 months. If I don’t set the bar high for myself who will?
