“My goals for 2019 align with how I want to FEEL at the end of 2019 – Abundantly Blessed.”
This year I’ve hit most of my top 10 goals…
- I have doubled the number of members in the PharmapreneurAcademy.com by meeting over 10,000 pharmacists and sharing my message. (Accomplished – well almost tripled the number!)
- We registered over 5,000 pharmacists for the 2018 ElevatePharmacySummit.com and helped add millions of dollars in revenue for pharmacy owners. (Accomplished – tens of thousands of pharmacists from around the world have visited the site for our big Spring summit and topical Mini-Summits)
- We went on a big family on vacation to Hawaii where we enjoyed the islands on our own time and never felt “rushed” (Failed – maybe next year!)
- I hosted an AMAZING in-person Workshop/Business Retreat for female pharmacy owners to connect (Accomplished – check out the amazing weekend here)
- My husband and I worked up 1 Year’s Salary in Cash/Taxable Investing Account so we have attained the First Pillar of Financial Independence (Failed – we are at probably 9 months salary emergency fund)
- We also paid down our land loan by 30% because we want to be out of debt and able to build a cabin on the land in 2020 (Failed – we bought our Dream House instead)
- I lost all the “baby weight” and then some to get back to my goal weight through exercise and low carb nutrition (Accomplished – got to pre-baby weight, but not pre-marriage weight – my 2019 goal)
- My company worked with 2 amazing organizations to produce new opportunities for pharmacists (Accomplished – Thank you to all of our amazing sponsors in the Virtual Exhibitor Hall of the Elevate Pharmacy Summit)
- Build a new skill (Accomplished – I’ve been working with The Sales Maven Nikki Rousch, who will be doing a training on “Warming Up the Cold Call” for Academy members in January!)
- We chose someone to hugely and unexpectedly BLESS who really needed and appreciated the gesture (Accomplished – we awarded TWENTY FIVE scholarships to pharmacists who want to work with me in the Pharmapreneur Academy to build their consulting businesses)
Goal setting is important to me because it has allowed me to step away from jobs I don’t love, charge what I’m worth and take chances on new ventures.
Even though it wasn’t on my “goal list” I created a new Planner based on the CORE FOUR Elements of the Healthy Business Helix.
In my latest workshop, “Planning for 2019 Like a Pharmapreneur”, I teach you the steps for choosing your:
- Big Annual Goals
- Prioritizing Quarterly Strategic Objectives
- Monitoring Your Monthly Metrics
- Creating a Weekly Action Plan
The Planner, now available on Amazon, follows along with my latest Workshop.

Will you join me in setting your 2019 Personal Development Goals TODAY?
On the Workshop I share my process for goal setting and how I’ve come up with my 2019 Goals (listed below).
One of my “processes” is to choose a word to represent the year ahead. The word represents how I want to FEEL at the end of the year and throughout the year. It represents my focus.
And as Tony Robbins says, “Where focus goes, energy flows”
2017 was a focus on VISIBILITY…
2018 was focused on INFLUENCE in order to create an awareness and evolution in pharmacy…
In 2019 my focus is on ABUNDANCE.
To me, abundance means having the freedom to pursue your purpose.
It means bringing my message to more pharmacists, teaching about pharmacy consulting services and sharing my story genetic testing journey.
My goals for 2019 align with how I want to FEEL at the end of 2019 – Abundantly Blessed.
As you know, goal setting is very important to me.
People who write down their goals are 42% more likely to reach them.
I’ve been writing my goals and posting them on this blog consistently since 2016. And I’ve been writing my goals down in the notepad app on my phone consistently since 2014!
Follow my entire journey here.
However, the danger in focusing heavily on achievements, is that sometimes goal-oriented people (me) can get too wrapped up in the future and forget to enjoy the present.
Hopefully focusing on abundance and gratitude for all that I already have will help me to be more PRESENT in 2019.
Present for my family, my Academy members and myself.
This year I want to add a “Lookback List” to my Annual Business Recap to celebrate things I am proud of and grateful for…
Feel free to create your own and save it somewhere you can go back and look at it in the future when you’re feeling down.
Your notepad app on your phone is an EXCELLENT place to start this reflective practice.
(If you need some help remembering all the amazing things that happened for you in 2018, go back and take a look at your paper planner or online calendar)
