It doesn't matter if the economy is bad or good. Imagine if everyone sat in despair about this...could we reach our goals. The answer is NO!!! Let's think for a second here...if you have the drive you should just GO FOR IT! But how you ask? Picture what your goal is and write it down...then you have to have a plan at how you are going to get there. You will have to go through some wins and fails..but, if you keep your eye on the end goal you will supersede your fails and re-strategize. Both Candidates, McCain and Obama had goals and came up with a plan to get there...not all are winners but, the result is there.
This can be accomplished by anyone at any age depending on what your goal is. It can be big or small. An example that was sweet to me to learn about is of one of my young art fans and her recent goal to become president of her student council. Alexis told her mom that she wanted to be the president of her 3rd grade student council and that is where her goal began. Her mom, Liza and supporter (everyone needs cheerleaders--so look around and see who can become your supporters) helped her come up with a marketing plan...posters, t-shirt and give aways (Halloween pencils and erasers with notes on them) to help spread the word of her election goal. Then here came the speech that Alexis had to practice to share with her 3rd grade class so that she could earn her votes by persuasion (great sales tool). Her Dad, Ruben helped her with that...another supporter.
Then came the votes after her speech and it was a BIG DEAL for a 3rd grader. Alexis did not win the president slot,...but, she did get voted in as the vice president..which everyone was very proud of her work towards that goal. Now she is busy leading in her role and seeing how her and her co-workers can improve the 3rd grade experience as a whole. What a neat story from one of my biggest...littliest fan...very inspiring if you ask me. Congratulations Alexis...and I wish you luck with your newest endeavor.

Hey Matilde, thank you so much for having Alexis be part of your blog. She read it and felt so grown up and she realy felt proud of being Vice Presidnt. She is doing so well with her 3rd grade student council. They are wipping up so many great ideas. It's nice to see her little brain storms in motion. She is also trying to get art more involved to the 3rd grade. She told the council that art is a great way to relax and help think. I hope her little speech persuades them. I'll keep you in touch with that one.
