2013 Goals

Hi!  My name is Melinda.  I'm starting this year out with a blog.  With this blog, I'm including some personal goals, some business goals, some business advice and some health tips that I've discovered over the years. 
I'm a rather private person and sharing my life online has never been a forte of mine.  While I do like writing, sometimes I feel like I'm bragging a little too much online.  At other times, I wonder if people read my writing and often I will get tired and neglect it.  Procrastination has been a pitfall of mine and that has often led me away from blogging when I started blogs before. 

1. Gain three new physicians to bill for in 2013.  I need to grow my business this year!

2. Overcome, not simply control my epilepsy.  I'm almost medication free and for the most part, I'm not having seizures.  This year, I will be seizure free and drug free by July 4, 2013!

3. Become independent and get my own place!  I've been staying with the folks while getting my seizures under control. 

4. Grow my own hair.  Anyone with alopecia universalis knows that this is a huge challenge.  Doctors won't ever tell you why you lost your hair in the first place and their solution is steroids that make you fat and pimply.  I'm looking for a natural cure!

5.  Buy a car.  This goal will be for August 2013.  I need to make sure I'm seizure free for six months first!  Then I need to earn the money for a car.

6. Eliminate my procrastination in 2013.

7. Lose the last five pounds I put on when I was doing Atkins so my pants fit better.  I'm actually going to figure out the weight loss plan that will work for me and share it here on this blog.  I'm sure there are other people like me who are not yet exercise fanatics.

8. Help 45 doctors with their Accounts Receivable using the automated QuickCollect system.

9. Plan for success!  I'm going to become more organized and plan for success every day.
 
Sharing this with the internet is a huge step forward.  I know that there are people out there who can be supportive, but there are also wonderful networking connections that I can make.  I'm sure that I will need a realtor when I look for a place, renter's insurance, an auto dealer.  Some of these I already know from my BNI group.  Some I may meet on LinkedIn.
