New Year's Day is the day that many of us make those New Year's Resolutions. I bet you set one or two this year. What are resolutions? I like to think of them as goals being put into reality. Unfortunately, some resolutions only last for hours; some will last for days; some last for weeks.
But what is the trick to really making those goals reality?
I remember in 2004 when a coaching client of mine asked me to join Team Emily and run either a half or a full marathon for charity. This was not something I'd ever considered doing - I wasn't a runner, by any stretch of the imagination. But, the charity was one I couldn't turn my back on so, I agreed to run this half-marathon thinking it was about supporting my client, thinking it was about a scholarship winner that would have their lives touched and changed by this college opportunity. All good enough reasons - more than enough for me to set my goal to run the half-marathon, and more than enough to focus on crossing that finish line.
But, what I didn't know then was what the journey would teach me - the lessons I would learn in those 13.1 miles.
Running a half-marathon was once a goal of mine that is now a reality. So was living in Southern California, getting married to my soul mate and writing a book. I am excited to share with you that I actually have two books that will be coming out in the few months.
A Guide to Getting It: Marketing and Branding will hit store shelves soon. To pre-order an autographed copy visit http://www.cherialguire.com/product/a-guide-to-getting-it-branding-and-marketing-mastery.htm
And, secondly, look for 13 Lessons Learned in 13.1 Miles. In this book, I share 13 lessons with you - lessons that will help you set your goals, face any obstacles on your path, and, ultimately - achieve your goals. The journey isn't always easy, but these 13 lessons will last a lifetime.

Happy New Year, and go turn those dreams, those goals, those resolutions, into reality!
